    Question for Dog owners

    So my ten year old mini pinscher has done this before but has started to do it again.

    If I leave a bar of soap on the edge of the bathtub, he sneaks in there and chews on the soap and scrapes it off with his teeth and eats it. Yes, my dog eats soap. Dove soap.

    Maybe he has some sort of deficiency? Is it normal for a dog to gnaw on a bar of soap?

    I caught him yesterday and he ran off chomping and licking his lips.

      Dogs will eat anything. My dogs don't chew up furniture or anything, they're very well-behaved, but if they think they can eat it... doesn't matter what it is.... plastic, rocks, tree bark, drywall..... they don't care. Furry, roving garbage scows.... lol

              Well if you just want to teach him a lesson and are willing to "lose" that bar of soap - there is this Anti - chewing spray at the pet store that makes whatever you spray spicy - so when he tries to chew it - he won't like it. Its meant for shoes etc - because it doesn't smell or stain but I still wouldn't use the bar of soap after spraying it. Either way it will teach him and he won't do it again.

                  LOL, not really normal but, not uncommon. It seems Dove soap is a favorite for dogs so perhaps switching soap would stop the behavior?

                      Dogs eat soap for two reasons:

                      1. they are not getting enough fat in their diet and want more
                      2. the soap may contain animal fat in it and they can smell it and then eat it.

                              Yesterday my dog...

                              1: Shit in my house.

                              2: Got into the garbage can in my office and spread it everywhere.

                              3: Jumped onto my leather chair and pissed on it.

                              He's lucky my girl saved his ass or he would be gone by now.

                                  Yeah I have the anti chewing spray. He is a pretty good dog, doesn't chew or destroy anything but when it comes to food he gets a bit crazy. He is super smart and like I said ten years old. This old dog has no interest in new tricks. lol

                                  It isn't the worst thing he has done, I don't mind too much but I do need my soap so he needs to cut it out. I am not leaving the soap where he can get it now, problem solved.

                                  This dog knows how to open the pantry cupboard and will steal food if I don't keep the doors secured. He can also reach one of our counters (it was designed for a short person) and has snatched entire french breads and eaten the whole thing. He can't be left alone where he can get in trouble because in his mind when we are gone he is free to do what he wants.

                                  I find it hilarious he likes soap though.

                                          Not sure what to feed him considering we arent even meat eaters and buy the fuckers Prime Cuts of Chicken and beef, mixed with Nutritionally Balanced Dry Food covered in sauce. he gets dry and wet food every day LOL

                                          We dont even meat and the dog is eatin fucking nice LOL I even chop the shit up for him every morning.

                                          I think he is doing it just to fucking do it.

                                                  Yeah I think it has taken 5 months til our baby has become more active, and the dog is finally acting out. He does this when he doesn't get lots of attention, he is pretty spoiled with us working from home.

                                                  an adjustment period I suppose.

                                                      check and see if it is an animal based soap, that may be the reason.
