Now to the next obvious question: Are dogs' mouths cleaner than cats'?
 
Winter is a great time for dogs, frozen cat poopsicles are a special treat. This is relatively tame on the 'gross things dogs eat" scale though.

The second grossest thing I've seen a dog eat is fresh diarrhea off the ground from a baby goat. The grossest thing is when the dog decided to get it fresher straight from the source and headed for the goat.

:smile: Yes, my dogs love snacking in the cat box and vomit is a special treat.
 
Depends on whether you'd rather have a bite wound infection with Eikenella or Pasteurella. :biggrin:
