White dog shit
Ever wondered why you don't see it any more?

I'm sad to inform you that there is no heinous conspiracy involved. The answer is simply the changing diet of our furry friends. Years ago, many dogs would have been fed on fresh meat; including the bones. This is what turns the shit white; the oodles of calcium in the bones which are crunched up and swallowed.

Now the dogs are fed on processed food, most of which has never seen a bone.

If you have a dog and want to test this, try feeding it some cheap chicken wings or similar. After it stops shitting wildly on every available surface due to the change in diet, you'll find loads of nice, white, crumbly dog shits all over your garden.

Lovely.

This is indeed true.
We feed our dog on raw chicken wings, bones, meat and vegetables. Her shit does, indeed, turn white after a few hours.

And she's never been healthier since we changed her diet.

You really shouldn't feed dogs chicken bones.
They splinter very easily (rather than just break up like beef or lamb bones), and can cut up a dog's insides quite badly.

Cooked, yes
raw, no. She's never had a problem yet.

Indeed
I fed my two big gsd's on the BARF (bones as raw food) diet some years ago until the supply of dirt cheap meat I had access to dried up. They loved it and were healthy and full of the joys of spring. And the shit showed up white on the grass in lovely contrast, easier for virtually blind bints like me to pick up. Result.

It upset a few visitors though, when the dogs would sort the best bits of their dinner out of their bowls and eat it with much pleasure on the kitchen floor (I did wash the floor with disinfectant after). Crunchy, munchy, slobber - made one of my male friends turn green ! Wuss.

The thing is
It's sooo much cheaper than standard dog food too.

And the shite is much easier to pick up, given that it doesn't degrade into a gooey mess 30 seconds after contact with your neighbour's lawn.

TMI?

Then again, my neighbour would probably think a gooey mess on the lawn concealed a hidden Illuminati-o-scope camera to observe us all from teh starz.

Don't pretend you didn't poke it with a stick,
then chase your friends around and threaten them with the 'poo stick'.
