This disappeared in the 80s. Anybody know why its come back again?

Too much chalk in the diet??

Chalk? Wtf!

I didn't know it had come back.
I thought it was caused by the bones that people used to let their dogs chew. Now they're advised not to there is no white poo.

calcium added to dog food now, but it wasn't back then.

plus a lot of dogs had distemper then.

I've noticed this! There is one in my garden in the flower bed - no idea how it got there, maybe it's a cat's, but it's white.

just curious as to how you know that it dissappeared in the 80's.

Was still around in the 90's too.

Coz i remeber it as a kid making 'hedgehogs' but then it seemed to disappear

um...

hedgehogs??

aahh come on ....i played doctors and nurses........hedgehogs?

Yeah...you know -blushes- dog turds + matchsticks

riiight.

Can't say I ever played with dog crap as a kid lol

no ,i dont know...please explain yourself young man

Young... I can cope with
BUT MAN!!!! Nope not telling you now

oops just looked at your profile sorry...now i am even MORE confused about the hedgehog game.

Haha. No probs. I was a problem child....

that made me propper lol... an the thought of doin the school run an coming accross a "hedgehog" ROFL X

Lets bring back the hedgehogs!!

i think its something to do with how long its left sitting there getting bleached in the sun

Nah! Its creamy on despatch

I remember seeing some kid pick up a white dog poo (obviously not realising that, back in the day, poo also came in colours other than brown), smell it, and then chuck it down! Obviously when WDP was on it's way out, and not as common.

Apparently, dog food has to be edible for human consumption. Its EU law. No longer do they add chalk to dog food.

Its a fact.

im gonna get tosca to do a big poo on my bed and watch it till it, oh no, another bad dream

Chalk is edible.

...but not nutritious!

I think it's to do (doo) with the poor owner cannot afford meat so just feeds the mutt biscuits?

But even so, why would biscuits turn poo white?

If you google 'why is dog poo white' it comes back with 5,600,000 results!

I want to talk sh*t............

erm....erm... bah! nowt to say ......

do seagulls eat chalk as well?

I looked this up and found this .
As for making dog poo look like a sheep - that's just sick Rude. I hope you didn't then take it into school for 'Show and Tell'!!

Anyone remember these?


Look what happens when we ban Sanchez posting poo pics?

WTF?

Has wiki gone mad? Oh well i may as well join in Here You go...

lol

its not white anymore because they use to put ash in the dog food and apparently use to make the poo white..

white dog poo means a dog is eating too much bone in their diet,
i feed my dogs raw food and if they have too much bone ie chicken, then their poo turns white.. :- )

I feel thoroughly enlightened now.

...so is the poo

surely its enwhitenened?

Can you use it instead of Rennies???

Probably not, but it probably tastes better.

If you're willing to pat it into neat little squares and package it - no one would ever notice.

Should think you would have to dry it out a bit as well.

I went for a walk earlier and I saw something very amusing albeit gross...a big stinking dog stool with a tiny flag stuck in it. The flag had a tiny skull n crossbones on it. I live in south Liverpool and it makes me sick the amount of rubbish and dog poo there is on the streets. My other half has just emailed local councillor cos he is so fed up of standing in it!!

back to the white stuff...when I was a kid some older kids told me to go and get some chalk from the street to do hopskotch and pointed me towards white dog poo. There was always loads of it.I happily picked it up and took it back to them..hoping they would let me join in with their game. I was called sh**ty hands for at least 10years.
