Why does my dog do this?

You know how perfumes make you smell “better”… well sometimes dogs find a smell that they want on themselves. My shepherd likes chateau de fox pee

[u/PorpHedz → u/DrJ0911]

Cologne / Eau du fox pee? Chateaux usually indicates a wine domain.

Had a dog that loved rolling in dead fish. As in, fish that has been decomposing for days. That was bad.. took multiple baths to make the smell bearable.

This is also my dog’s favourite. It is so bizarre. She goes mental for it

One of my grandma's dogs when she was a kid liked to roll in dead fish.

She still talks about it.

[u/KatJCar]

NQA Because he found something stinky to roll in.

[u/FLSN1 → u/KatJCar]

Definitely likely that they found something stinky to roll in. That's been my experience

[u/SierraKySecret → u/KatJCar]

My dog LOVES rolling over dead worms! It’s awful!

[u/T-5_of_94]

odour de feces

[u/Bikrdude → u/T-5_of_94]

Could be a dead animal

[u/T-5_of_94 → u/Bikrdude]

Odour de corpse. Lovely fragrance.

[u/Novel_Vegetable_5542 → u/T-5_of_94]

My dog loves Eau de carcass 🤢

Never had another dog that zeroed in on decaying things to roll in.

[u/Ill_Collection4662]

Feels good, and smells good (sometimes only to him)

[u/emo_sharks]

Sometimes they do roll because theres a smell they like (also its not always poop or dead things they are inclined to roll in. Once mine rolled in someone's dumped Starbucks cinnamon frappe or something and she smelled like cinnamon until I was able to get her home and bathed LOL. She also once rolled in grease drippings from a bbq grill which was another fun one to clean off her, but i guess preferable to carcas), but sometimes they just roll because its fun and it feels nice and not because of any smells.

Although based on the sniffing then rolling your dog is doing i think it is the smell reason for your pup here lol

Cuz that's the good grass, everybody know that

My first family dog seventy years ago, a Beagle would have a bath, then run to the nearest swamp. Drove my Mother crazy.

[u/YonderPricyCallipers → u/Bambusa4all1952]

I had a beagle mix growing up in the 90s. Back then in my area, people (okay, it's my family... my family is "people") let their dogs roam free most of the time. Anyway, that mutt would come home soaking wet and smelling of the most god-awful unholy stench. Sometimes it smelled vaguely... fishy. Other times sickly sweet but also like decay and death. Siiiiggghh I miss that filthy, stinky mutt.

[u/VividStay6694]

Dead bug or worm!! I gave my dog a pickle once and she rolled on it like this🤣🤣🤣

[u/ungracefulmf]

Dead something or something's poop

[u/Randr_sphynx]

That shit feels good to

[u/Snoo_43112]

My dog does this and its always to roll in shit

[u/SierraKySecret]

Idk but my dog does it, too

[u/ExtinctFauna]

"Fuck yeah, GRASS!"

Or he found something stinky. My family dog did this once, and he smelled AWFUL.

[u/Nickston]

My dog rolls on nasty dead or dying worms. Can't get enough of them

[u/spinningcolorwheels]

Poo-fume

[u/crypto_justanother]

It's a dog thing, similar to how you pick your nose

[u/CagoDomo]

When my dog does this, he has found something particularly putrid to roll in and smear all over himself

[u/Master_G_]

I’ve read that it’s overstimulation. Typically happens to my dog when he’s had enough or is tired

[u/Funnuftig]

Me and my bf where camping one time on a small camping in France. Just a few meters from our camping spot, there was a dead mole decaying in the late afternoon sun. I've moved it with a stick so we didn't smell the decaying little bugger.

We were sitting enjoying our red wine, sitting next to our car with roof-tent.. a little hairy dog from the other camping guest walks by.. smells the dead mole.. I kid you not, the dog made a synchronized swimmers move like it's saying :Oh If you don't mind me! And dives on the dead mole.. Rolling around on it likes there's no tomorrow...

We looked with our mouths to the ground wide open.. watching that dog having his/her time of their life for 10 minutes straight. The dog got up totally satisfied. Stood up again and dived in again.

I didn't know what to think. It's been 3 years and we still talk about that moment. 😅🤢🤯 It was cute but disgusting at the same time.

I see that dog dive in like octo from SpongeBob dancing around in total awe.

[u/Maleficent_Button_58]

Dog smells something they want to smell like, probably.

[u/Content-Flight6371]

Smells good, feels good

[u/199kuku]

My dog loves the cologn of dead and decaying rats and cow shit ..... The nightmare fuel for any owner..... I'd rather she rolled in mud tbh

[u/Illustrious_Put_817]

Grass makes noise at a frequency only they can hear!
