Stuff is expensive. It's the best thing I've found for keeping deer from eating my plants, but then I got a dog that just went nuts for the stuff and would just eat it like mad when he went outside. So now the dear just eat my plants again.

Our dachshund picks up and eats all kind of shit. She's a destroyer of SHOES and CPAP masks, of course, but she also eats rocks, plastic, or whatever else she finds.

The other day I walk in, and she has 2 milkbones (we don't buy them and I have no idea where they came from). She just moved them around for a few days and never ate them. But a stick is fine dining.

Dogs are weird.

The way dogs handle new food is interesting. They have very short digestive tracts so the idea for them is to eat everything once, and if it makes them sick it will make them sick very quickly. They then know not to eat something.

Thats a possible reason for the aversion. They can also associate foods with traumatic events sort of like humans do.

Not sure my dog has that ptsd linkage circuit working. Syringe forced like 60ml of h2o2 down his throat when he ate a bunch of grapes to make him barf them up and the dude will snatch up grapes like anything still.
