pawsaroundoz Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 My older boy has quite suddenly developed a liking for cakes of soap, he steals them from the bathroom and eats them! this has only recently started to happen so is he going a little bit loopy or is he missing something from his diet or is he doing a lot of bad language when I am not around???

TangerineDream Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 If he's a Dobermann, it's a perfectly normal breed trait all mine loved soap and would steal it given the chance..the GSP's have never been interested in it at all. On the other hand, he might have something lacking in his diet, or some irritation in his gut that the soap is helping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haven Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 What kind of soap? Many soaps are made with animal fat and plenty that are available these days are made with lots of yummy natural ingredients like oatmeal, honey, fruits, cocoa etc. Must smell and taste pretty good for dogs It wouldn't hurt to consider any dietary inadequacies just in case, what do you feed? You can prevent this being a problem by simply moving the soap out of reach or finding a brand he doesn't fancy, or if you want more than a management solution you could try coating the soap with something your dog doesn't like the taste of to put him off.

pawsaroundoz Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 Thanks Dolers It is any soap and whilst I put my soap out of Carlin reach my mate doesn't!!! I now do bathroom patrol before the boyz have full run of the house! He eats mostly natural diet and is in great shape/condition, I do not think he is lacking anything must be the taste/smell of the soap I have now (lovely oatmeal honey stuff that came for Christmas) Annie and her boyz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Rules Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Yeah, one of my GRs is so totally food obsessed he will eat any cake of soap he can reach. I had some houseguests over the holidays and one of them left a large handmade soap on the bath hob, ginger and fig I think it was - my boy came out to the sitting room chewing something and we soon realised it was what was left of the soap....... No ill effects though....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spotted Devil Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 My young Dally has a thing for Sorbolene Cream I use it as a body mosituriser and the little rascal stands there, just about drooling while I put it on my legs. Then he dashes in for a couple of licks before I have a chance to tell him to "Leave!" :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawsaroundoz Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 Spotted Devil, yeah my younger lad does that too, but his favourite is Lavender flavour! He stands in the bathroom waiting for me to get out of the shower!! Annie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
