“My family switched to cloth diapers so I at least won’t die from being nasty.” After eating several disposable diapers out of the trash, we got worried that our dog, Lola, was ingesting some gnarly chemicals. We invested in cloth diapers, hoping that they’d stay out her reach and wouldn’t be as harsh on her system. That was naive… apparently she can smell poopy diapers through the wet bags. Diapers are her favorite, but she’s also a fan of underwear, pants, shirts, bibs, and gym shoes.

I know this is supposed to be a fun site, but the situation can’t be fun for you! Have you tried to give her more protein, either in the form of raw meat, or even plain, unsweetened yogurt? I find, when my little dog starts on the cat litter, other dogs poop, or her own, if I up her protein, she loses all interest in poop!

Good to know, thanks for this info. My little guy seems to enjoy the poop of others. I will definitely try this.

I don’t mean to seem critical, but can’t you put the diapers in a can with a lid and secure it? It may save you from some expensive (for you) and painful (for your dog) surgery down the road.

I have a dog with a serious garbage attraction and the solution I found was to invest (and its a serious investment) in a Simple Human butterfly lid trash can and put it in a cupboard so it can’t be knocked over. It’s been six months and so far it’s worked perfectly!

I hate to tell you this, but we had to open up a dog and remove two cloth diapers just the other day.
