Is Guinea Pig Poo Safe For Dogs

[guineapigs03]

I was cleaning the guinea pig cage and had the dustpan with all the their pops i had swept behind me I turned round to find my dog eating them I pulled her away but just wondering if this could harm the dog.

Piggy poo is apparently irresistible to dogs . As piggies eat a vegan diet it is fine for dogs to eat them.

Mine loved it! Can't see it'd do them any harm

No. They are safe, piggies will often eat some of their own poop to reabsorb the nutrients. My fathers dog has eaten my piggies poop out of the rubbish bin with no side effects. I wouldn't recommend copious amounts though i.e. actually feeding - they might get addicted!

Yes it is perfectly safe.

Addicted haha

Ok thank you very much, I'll try to stop her from now on but she will probably still find an odd few to munch !

My dog Bonny will eat pig poo like sweets if l gave her the chance

We have a 'time share' doggy who spends the day with us once or twice a week.
He spends a lot of his time pottering around the garden hoovering up the piggy poos!

Yep, my dogs will happily snack on any stray poop pellets.
