I occasionally have to wipe my cat’s stinker. I can tell when he comes out of the litterbox discombobulated, and if I don’t wipe him, he’ll soon do the carpet scootch.
He gets a bit indignant about it and gives me the stinkeye, but better the stinkeye than the stinkhole.
Never wiped, but I did have to pull out some cloth that he had eaten. It was half in and half out. Not pleasant.
My dog uses a rabbit.
I wouldn’t own a dog if that was a part of the necessary care routine.
Only when she has dried poo stuck to her hair, then I use a wet wipe
I don’t do it for either the dog or the cat now, but I had this Boston terrier who had Irritable Bowel Disease. If you are a human and have had IBD, you know the poor fella couldn’t really control it. He had to be wiped most of the time, but I just used cheap baby diaper wipes, which are really useful for all sorts of things.
zombie or no
i saw a lady do that to her dog. she drove the car with dog to somebody’s lawn. had the dog shit and left the turd. wiped the dogs ass before letting it back into the car.
All you dog-ass-wiping-people are doing it wrong. You’re supposed to train your dog to wipe your ass.
I have no experience in this matter but something my parents do when they have to do something unpleasant to their dog it do it sneakily.
For the ass wipe instance I’d imagine they would do it like if they had to give her a shot. One will call the dog over and pet her a bunch and tell her she’s a good dog and a pretty dog and stuff like that and then the other one will calmly walk up behind, give a couple of pets and then give the shot where she petted. The dog gets a what the fuck look on its face for about a second and then forgets because the other one is still petting her and saying nice things.
The dog is a lab and has a very calm nature so this might not work with all dogs.
I have a long-haired cat who occasionally gets poo-ey bum. Eh, wipe and move on. There are worse things in life.
To quote Ron White, who was discussing a different subject related to his dog at the time:
Because cats don’t lick their ass or their genitals either?
Some dogs need wiping. Some cats need wiping. There’s no situation where the one has it up over the other in any meaningful fashion. It’s the luck of the draw whether your pet needs manual assistance after pooping. There are cat owners in here saying they have to do it for their kitties as well…
I sometimes do a test-wipe of my cat if I happen to see that she just made a messy deposit because I don’t want her making buttprints on the bed. But the tissue always comes back clean. I don’t know how she does it.
She’s never coughed up a hairball in her entire 6 years either.
I have wiped my dog’s butt but only after expressing her anal glands.
Yes, My little guy pees on his front legs so I started wiping off his legs and just progressed from there. I keep baby wipes by the front door and he knows to wait to get wiped off.
Is this your dog? :D;):)
Rarely ever.
Occasionally have to clean the cats too, but in both cases it’s usually only when they’re sick, been ran over, etc. I view it as no different than cleaning up a baby.
That is hilarious.
My cat Max is as gross as any dog could ever hope to be. I have never had to wipe any butts and hope it never becomes necessary. I practically don a haz mat suit just to clean the box every day.
Nope, and anyone who’d do this on a routine basis needs professional help, or at least another pet.
Like a goldfish.
Ha, just noticed an ad at the top of the page for “Bosch Wiper Blades”. There ya go, just install a set of our mini wiper blades on the dog’s butt for perfect hygiene after every poop!
Sadie’s a Goldendoodle with lots of hair. When her poop isn’t solid, just wiping her butt isn’t enough. In summer we can take care of it outside with the garden hose. Last time it happened, it was cold, so we used the doggy washing station at the vet’s office. Even then the hose wasn’t enough. Good thing I thought to take some disposable rubber gloves.
She’s almost three and so far, we’ve only had to do this a few times, thank heaven.
So no, we don’t make a practice of wiping her butt. We do wash her girly bits if she smells less than fresh. She rarely licks herself – probably doesn’t like all that hair in her mouth.
Ah the joys of it!
I have to wash my horse’s butt for him, he gets this dandruff like scurf under his tail that gives him an itch.
Never wiped a dogs butt, have seen people doing so because their dog had the squits. I had to wipe my elderly cat’s bottom when she was near the end of her life as she couldn’t do it herself
