Dog treats: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Since we got a dog, I have been on a mission to find THE most disgusting dog treats in the world. I don't know why but I am strangely drawn to the Freakish Shelf in the petshop where they sell barely recognisable animal parts. I think it's because I love seeing Ludo really getting into chowing down, and in order to keep her interest up, I have had to reach further and further into the realms of disgusting.
I started off buying fresh lamb's liver from the butchers and cooking it up and using it as dog's treats. But that was nowhere near vile enough, so in reverse order:
NUMBER FOUR: PIG'S EARS
You can buy these in any pet shop. They are actual pig's ears. They even look like ears. They are quite freaky, actually. When our vegan friend came to visit, she was quietly horrified, but to be honest as the pigs are being killed anyway, I figure they may as well use every last bit.
Ludo LOVES these and demolishes the entire thing in 30 minutes or less.
NUMBER THREE: DRIED LUNG
You need a special pet shop for this. I am not quite sure what animal this comes from, but any kind of dried lung is pretty vile.
Ludo is very keen on this and can swallow the smaller pieces completely within 5 minutes.
NUMBER TWO: TRIPE
This stuff is truly disgusting. Apparently it is the stomach lining of a cow, and it smells SO BAD that I had to open all the windows and close the door to Ludo's porch while she was eating it, because Isabel and I were starting to retch. In future this stuff is only going to be allowed in the garden. Truly disgusting.
Ludo loves it and ate this large piece in about 30 minutes.
NUMBER ONE: BULL'S PIZZLE
I have seen this for sale but wasn't quite sure what it was. Then I got some pizzle as a free sample when I bought her long line off Ebay. Ludo gobbled the pizzle in literally seconds. So I looked it up on Wikipedia, and as you may have guessed --- yes --- it is in fact, bull's penis. Lovely.
Here is a long and detailed article on pizzle, if you really want to know. Apparently it can also be used for whips and walking sticks! WHO KNEW?!
