Why Do Dogs Roll In Feces?

Rolling in dog, cat, cow, horse, coyote, and other animal feces is very common for dogs. There are several theories on this, and here is the one that seems most plausible. The primal, ancient instinct of dogs is to mask their scent for hunting. This would enable the dog to sneak up on his prey without detection. Even if your dogs don’t hunt, that instinct is in them.

Whatever the actual reason for dogs to roll in feces, it happens. And when it does, no one enjoys cleaning up these mess. Keep the filth off your hands with HandsOn Gloves. Having your gloves on while cleaning up these fun times is more bearable for the human, and leaves you and your animals much cleaner.
