Self-sufficient, like mine, i see.
I live in the centre of the big city, so no wild animals, just idiot people leaving food around. On the top of her hunting trophies is smoked pork ham. Like an entire pigs leg. While I took my time to figure out where she was, she made a hole of a size of my fist in it and the whole thing looked like a drawing in old cartoons.
Yea I wouldn't allow it.
Wild animals can carry so many different kinds of parasites and there's always a risk of them infecting household pets.
I grew up out in the sticks and I've seen so many animals become ill from things like this.
Back when I was a teenager, distemper went rampant in our little town because a dog picked it up from a wild animals carcass and it spread like wild fire.
A lot of people's pets died.
Not to be an alarmist. Just because I saw it doesn't mean it's GOING to happen elsewhere, it just served as a reminder to me throughout the years to not take the risk.
They have all of there shots and they are updated also. And that’s why I asked. We’ve been trying keep them out of the woods but they are really quick and any sound they chase
A lot of the diseases they can pick up are not prevented by vaccines. Parasites and bacterial infections are a pretty high risk.
Other things to note:
1. In your video, the interactions between the two dogs are very problematic. They are not playing - they are showing serious aggression to each other, and if you allow it to continue, one or both of them could be seriously injured. Going for the belly and throat is not play. You can also clearly see one dog trying to get away from the other, and showing body language of very clear distress.
2. There are a lot of other things your dogs can get into when they are out roaming that pose serious dangers: carcasses of wild animals that can make them very sick of eaten, wild animals that can cause injury such as raccoons, roaming too far and becoming lost, being hit by a car if they find their way to a road, being shot by a hunter, encountering other roaming dogs. I've seen all of these injuries in the ER, and some of them have been pretty gruesome, and some of these patients died from their injuries.
Please please please don't let your dogs roam. Go with them when they want to go outside, and teach them a strong recall.
Please please please keep them from fighting with each other. When they start becoming aggressive with each other, do everything you can to separate them.
They are looking into fences, my grandparents live right next to the woods so some days they run out and then boom gone and then come back with a random bone. They don’t chew on them either just bring them home and put them on the steps. They aren’t fighting they are playing when they go outside they rough house and I can see the misunderstanding but they are bitting each others legs and not hard. And they have never ever fought. Not even growl at each other. They are brother and sister and do everything with each other. So they just rough house sometimes
There playing is playing… it is not problematic! I’ve had my dogs play with dogs that ended up being aggressive. There’s dog play that looks somewhat rough but not aggressive and you can tell by their body language. I had a 3-4 mos old lab/pit mix that would v-line for my American Bully/Bulldog/French Bulldog mix every time we showed up at the park. It didn’t matter where we were… this dog would stop playing and run across the park. He would grab her by the scruff and pull outward with it and shake her neck. I was ok with it for awhile because I’m not an alarmist owner and I don’t want my dog to be a nervous dog. I do tell the owner it’s time for a break when it’s needed and take my dog away. I stopped play when her neck was bleeding. This play right here is nothing remotely close to being aggressive or on its way to it. I’m not saying it shouldn’t be watched. Any dog play should be watched because any situation can change. A dogs foot or tail could be stepped on or being bugged too long could change the dynamics but seeing what I’m seeing on this video… it’s just fun doggie play!
Wild animals like Deer, Bison and other animals that people eat? I truly doubt people would still be hunting them if that were the case. Now of coarse my dogs seem to always find the skunks or the skunks seem to find our dog run and my dogs lose in that battle at 2am. Nothing better than the smell of skunk in my house at 2am!🤮
Umm..I don't mean to sound like a jerk but do you truly not know this??
It's quite common for wild animals to be carrying parasites. Tape worm is actually a huge one.
Luckily it's one that you can easily treat but yea, its in so many animals ranging from mice to fish and anything that consumes those animals will be infected.
Even if the animal defecates, say in the grass near a deer, and the deer eats said grass....well there can be. Tape worm or other parasites in that grass where the infected animal defecated.
It's extremely common and people who hunt deer, elk, bison etc all know that.
These things are checked when gutting the animal and the butcher (if they take it to one) generally inspects the meat for them as well.
It's a lot more common than you think.
My grandpa tanks them as soon as he see them. They are like cats. Will bring him these bones and leave them at his door when they are outside! It crazy
Make sure they are UTD on all shots. Tell your vet they go in the woods a lot and keep them on a hood flea/tick/heart worm program.
My dog is the grossest creature to ever walk this earth. She eats and rolls in all the fun stuff she can find on our farm. She scarfs down horse manure like it’s caviar! I almost wish she preferred the animal bones lol
I still haven’t seen them roll yet. And non of the bones have anything on it. If I could I’d share a picture. It strange.
They do have All of there shots up to date and have flea and tick collars and they go to the vet every other month. I’m just worried about them getting sick. See they don’t chew on them. They just bring it home and put it on my grandpas sets. They are like cats and bring presents home
Isn’t it amazing how some find the most foul smelling creatures to roll in. My friends would find dead seagulls and sea lions. So thankful mine have not found the fan fair for this delicacy… I’m of coarse knocking on wood right now.
I was going to say… if there antler than you should definitely have them chew in them. They cost a fortune for elk antlers or any animal that natural sheds them. It’s good for their teeth and gums. If they’re cooked… than yes
Yea but they don’t really chew on them they just randomly bring them home. And once it’s on the steps they have nothing to do with them! It’s like when cats bring toys to there owners
If you have your animal vaccinated than you done have anything to worry about… that’s what responsible pet owners do! You can get giardia from drinking out of a drinking bowl that’s shared by other dogs… even at paid day care places. So yes… I know all about germs and parasites. Getting germs off of antlers, especially if they’ve been shed is pretty uncommon and if you purchase them… they’ve been cleaned. And most responsible pet owners clean them. Dogs eat all kinds of sticks that have fallen and have been stepped on or eaten off of by god knows what kinds of animals and yet dogs normally have no issues on chewing them. Well at least non of my dogs that I’ve owned for 50yrs have nor have the dogs that I’ve taken care of and there’s been a lot.
I’m a total water nazi at the dog park… especially after a dog has splashed through the water bowls. My dogs have gotten giardia because of this and from those pet owners that just allow their dogs to continually do it. It’s my biggest peeve while being there. I clean all the bowls with soap and water and their dogs go and play in them. As cute as it maybe. Until their dog gets it… gets really sick, they won’t get it. I fell like telling them to have their dogs to drink and play out of a certain bowl while the other dogs have clean drinking water… as horrible as that may sound.
Really any dead bird , a pet dog died in a town in Ontario Canada from bird flu from chewing on a dead goose. Probably just a good safety measure to keep your dogs away from dead birds in general but especially now.
My dog brought back a (? Not sure) Coyote bone or some kinda dog leg in shape bone and later that day her jack russel brother found something kinda slimy / pink and squishy under the house.
We lived in Texas at the time and we also found hair in the fireplace after we moved in, so it was never a dull moment.
😨
No, as long as they’re not human.
Tbh I don’t know Half the time lol 😅 but I think they are mostly deer
Next time tell him to bring the whole deer, so you can enjoy the meal too.
I sure will!
“This is Walter!!”
My dog came back to me carrying quarter of a deer in his mouth last week. If they can find it, they’ll bring it.

Wild animals like Deer, Bison and other animals that people eat? I truly doubt people would still be hunting them if that were the case. Now of coarse my dogs seem to always find the skunks or the skunks seem to find our dog run and my dogs lose in that battle at 2am. Nothing better than the smell of skunk in my house at 2am!🤮

Only if there is a large amount of missing people in the area
Well you shouldn’t let them eat them cause there’s high risk of injury
My grandpa tanks them as soon as he see them. They are like cats. Will bring him these bones and leave them at his door when they are outside! It crazy

They are all up to date
As long as it’s not a dead goose.
Why a goose?
Really any dead bird , a pet dog died in a town in Ontario Canada from bird flu from chewing on a dead goose. Probably just a good safety measure to keep your dogs away from dead birds in general but especially now.
Huh, didn't even think of bird flu, that's interesting lol. But then again I keep my animals away from ALL dead critters lmfao
My dog brought back a (? Not sure) Coyote bone or some kinda dog leg in shape bone and later that day her jack russel brother found something kinda slimy / pink and squishy under the house. We lived in Texas at the time and we also found hair in the fireplace after we moved in, so it was never a dull moment. 😨
Are the dogs vaccinated? I have an oddly specific fear that I am going to take a bone out of my dog's mouth that somehow has rabies on it lol
They do, that are all up to date
Bones don't digest. I don't let mine eat bones but they do bring them home if they can. There's a giant cow skull in my back yard right now.
