As a kid I thought white dog eggs were dropped by poodles! Is it because dogs don't eat bones anymore?
Never see kids with peashooters or spud-guns anymore. We used to make proper bow and arrows, chinese arrows and I even made some chinese throwing stars. Thay upset my dad, because I nicked all the sheet steel he had in the shed. |

white dog poo, is caused by calcium, from eating bones, when the calcium dries in the air it becomes white, most dogs no longer have bones.
Mine have a Barf diet, bones and raw food, so lots of white poo |

Stolen from some random site...
White poop is the calcium left behind as the water evaporates, and the 'organic' components of the crap are consumed (in various ways) leaving the inorganic stuff behind.
Historically, before BSE came along, butchers used to dish out bones for dogs to munch on.
But nowadays dogs don't eat as much bone as they used to, including bone meal. This all got the lid shoved on it due to the BSE crisis. Also, tighter regulation on dogs crapping on pavements means that turds don't hang around for years in public places like they used to, giving them less opportunity to dry out and turn white.

White dog shit comes from them eating bones. It comes out white (sorry if you're eating breakfast) and is the bone that the dogcan't digest. Often have white dog poo in my garden do to them having a bone and raw food diet. |

It's to do with the fact we don't give dogs bones anymore, cos they get that marrow in their food. I know this because we have been giving our Rottie pup bones and his poo changed colour! Probably tmi for a Friday morning! lol |

This is true! Up to the early 80's Dog Food manufacture was not regulated. Producers used to bulk up their crappy food with chalk and clay. So when a dog poop dried out what was left was heavily chalk infused chod! Hence white poo and also hence why you never saw a dog actually make a white poo, they were always old and dried.
True story yo! |

Did you also know that as a result of the regulation of dog food and the lack of white poop that almost all the chalk used in schools these days is now synthetic!

"White dog shit
Very true... Why is that?its not as cold now
i thought it was something to do with something in the food thats not in it anymore?
This is true! Up to the early 80's Dog Food manufacture was not regulated. Producers used to bulk up their crappy food with chalk and clay. So when a dog poop dried out what was left was heavily chalk infused chod! Hence white poo and also hence why you never saw a dog actually make a white poo, they were always old and dried.
True story yo!
Did you also know that as a result of the regulation of dog food and the lack of white poop that almost all the chalk used in schools these days is now synthetic!
"
Synthetic? its gypsum, always was. |

Hull |
Up in Hull where I have my home, there are two Rag and Bone men still in business there.
Milk Men: In Hull, they are still there with a main depot covering all the city.
Plus where I work Ascot on night shift, a Milkman drives his float pass my place of work 6 mornings a week delivering milk to homes.
Black Jacks/Fruit Salad. These still exist; the hotel I work in supplies them on conference tables, along with mints, Love Hearts and other confectionery for delegates to chew on during meetings. |

Re. white dog dirt
Many years ago, dog excretement was used for tanning leather (still is in some countries, nice handbag that missus haha)
In major cities there were gangs of men paid to collect dog muck. White was considered better quality so was kept separate. |
