my pit just turn 4 months n for dinner i made some meat n at the bottom of the packages ders this lil pack of wat looks like blood... well some how he got a hold of it was chewing on it... my husband says that now we have to get rid of him because he says he will now want the blood n will attack someone to get blood... is this true? is goin to be agressive now? do i need to get rid of him? wat do i do?
Answers:
NO!!

I don't think Ive had a dog that has never gotten into meat packages.
SHOOT IT DOWN
put him down NOW
of course you dont! aggressiveness comes from the treatment he recieves not tasting a little blood. its not in their genes to kill. its what humans have made them do.
umm.. you should be feeding your dog raw meat, raw bones and dog food.

he has only just tasted raw meat?!?

you realise there is blood in all raw meat right?

.
just because he tasetd blood doesnt mean he will turn evil
the only thing that really matters is how you raise he, he will be mena if you teach him to fight and chain him out by himself. as long as you do not use him like this and be friendly to him you wont have anymore isssues than you normally would
absolutely, put him down
I sincerely doubt your pup will automaticly associate whatever taste of blood he may have had with humans any more than a dog who has eaten hamburger will automaticly latch onto the first cow he sees. Train you puppy well and discourage all biting, mouthing, and agressive behavior. Keep an eye on him, but I imagine he'll be fine.
ARE YOU SERIOUS??!? Please don't put him down! We feed out pittie meat and dried blood for a treat sometimes and he has never attacked anyone!
The main reasons pitties attack are things like being trained to fight and being chained up for hours and ignored. Just treat your dog like you would treat any other dog and if you are skeptical of my answer, please muzzle him, do not put him to sleep! Pitties are BABIES and they deserve to be LOVED!!!
No, he won't get nasty because he has tasted blood.
They are really only aggressive if they are trained to be aggressive. Work with a certified dog trainer if you are unsure.
No it isn't true! Pit bulls are aggressive but the majority of that crock of crap is how people raise them! If you will raise him to be obiedent he wont attack!

I hate that they are banning these beautiful dogs everywhere because some stupid people use them as fight dogs. They can be just as loving as any other breed and and other breed could be just as vicious as another.

I have a pit bull. My boyfriend trained him. If a kid falls on its bottom he'll nudge the kid until he gets back up again. He'll take kids for rides on his back. If they cry he's sitting beside them to comfort them. If he wants to play he goes to his toy box and opens it pull out which toy he wants and brings it to us or goes to the door. When he's finished playing you tell him to put his toys up he will.


Its all on how you train them. You don't have to get rid of your dog.
Please stop listening to idiotic comments made by people who get their facts out of their butts. The dog will be fine, as fine as his genetics and your training will allow. No need to get rid of a dog because he tasted blood. My police dog had tasted a lot of blood, never got rid of him. That is absurd. The dog will be fine.
I don't think you'll have to get rid of the dog. When they get their first taste of blood, they associate the taste with wherever they got it from.

For example, if he'd killed a chicken, then yes.there will be problems however, he got it from an inanimate object...I really don't think he's going to go on a killing spree.

I've tipped the blood from packaged meat onto my dogs biscuits and they have never associated my chickens or ducks to the liquid in their bowls.
relax. its a puppy.

take two packages - one with meat juice and the other with some blood. see which one he likes. just a guess.
Wow -- that's he silliest thing I've ever heard. Tasting blood doesn't send ANY dog into an aggressive frenzy!

Sharks? Yes. Dogs? No!
Are you serious? No that is not true at all! Oh my goodness. You guys REALLY need to look into what the breed is all about.


My Pit Bull eats red meat with a little blood some times and he is the biggest sweety.

If anything you should just punish your dog for getting into the trash and move on.


How your dog behaves all depends on genetics and treatment. If you treat him well and take proper care of him and give him exercise then he will be a happy healthy dog. Pit Bulls are not blood crazed maniacs. They are dogs not demon beasts from hell. Cmon. Seriously study up on the breed you will be surprised at how prized they were in this country not so long ago.
that is a misconception. Pitt Bulls have a bad rep but they are not wolves or vampires. Believe it or not cocker spaniels actually hold the statistic for biting the most people. It's just not as well known.
Any dog would enjoy a good steak blood and all.
Denfentley do not get rid of him! A dog gets the taste of blood he he attacks a living creature example a chicken it defentley does not get the taste of blood if it has chewed on a raw meat "package" it two different things completley. That is a fact. He did not go in for the "kill"or anything he was simply doing what a puppy does- CHEW!
Don't panic :)

My dogs have gotten into the meat package stuff too, I would be more concerned that they may have swallowed some of the packaging material then I would be about the blood
I own 4 pits and they are all on a raw meat diet. They have a canine good citizen certificate. Never been aggressive. A lot of breeders and people who work their dogs use a raw or BARF diet. This is not going to make him a crazy killing machine! LOL. You should really start doing some research on the breed you own. It takes a knowledgeable person to own a bully breed.
No he is not going to be aggressive just because he tasted blood. Are you aggressive just because you cooked and ate the hamburger? Same difference.
i wouldnt worry about it. and the puppy will be agressive anyways, your the one that chose that breed
Pitt Bull, ummmm.. I wouldn't have one in the first place so I wouldn't know!
He's a puppy not a shark, Feed him the normal dog food like you been doing and more than likely over time he won't even remember tasting it
I have a pitbull and we give him raw meat all the time and he is just fine. People who fight there dogs let them catch rabbits and kill them and once they taste the blood they start to get aggresive. That is why many people believe if a pitbull gets ahold of blood they will become aggresive which isnt true. A pitbull that kills a rabbit already has the aggressive attitude and so once they taste the blood of a rabbit (which is really strong blood) they become more and more aggressive but it also has to do with the way these people are raising there dogs.

Your pitbull will be fine like I said we give ours raw meat all the time (which has plenty of blood in it) and we also know plenty of people who feed there pitbulls raw meat too and all of our pitbulls are NOT aggressive so by your dog eating a thing that has blood in it will not do anything to him but maybe make him want to eat some raw food. He will be fine feed him some raw chicken he will love it. Just treat him like you always do and he will be fine.


**** I also wanted to add what kind of dog lovers are yall to tell her to put her dog to sleep pitbulls are not any different then any other dogs. The only thing is when a pitbull attacks people talk about it and blame the whole breed but when another dog attacks they say well the owners must have bet him or some one must have caused it. It is a fact that pitbulls are the least likely dog to attack someone and the only reason people talk down on the pitbull breed is because they have only HEARD something about them. They probably didnt raise there own pitbull because all of my pitbulls have been just fine with no aggression so what kind of people are you to judge such a wonderful breed of dog!!!!
Not true.

Pits are lovable, high energy, wonderful pets. It's natural for them to eat raw meats , which have blood. It does not increase aggression or give them a "thirst" for more blood...


And to all the morons who seem to think pit bulls are aggressive;; MOST cases of "pit bull" attacks are done by mixed breeds, not true blooded pit bulls. Look stuff up before breeding ignorance. =)
don't worry about it, the dog's fine, treat him well and he'll be good to you!

his level of aggression depends on how you treat him.

the taste of blood thing has nothing to do with packages of meat - that's more about attacking someone or something and getting a taste by drawing the blood themselves. dogs can be smart, but all your dog has learned so far is that packages of meat have juice that can contain blood and tastes good (to him!) - not that people or other animals have blood that he can get at if he bites them. in a dog's head, the two things are so incredibly different, he's never going to make that connection.
Your husband is a moron! That's not how it works at all. Dogs don't "get a taste for blood" and attack in order to satisfy that craving...that's just plain stupid. Even if it did work that way, your dog got a taste of beef blood (or lamb or chicken or whatever you made for dinner, I'm assuming beef because chicken blood isn't as dark and not many people eat sheep these days)...so only cows would have to worry.

Please seek out a professional trainer and enroll your puppy in obedience classes NOW! You obviously don't know much about dogs and pit bulls NEED an owner who understands at least the most basic ideas of dog behavior and training. They can be prone to aggression if not properly trained and socialized (as can any breed). If you are not willing to take the time to learn about the training and behavior issues in this very misunderstood and often mistreated breed then you really should consider "getting rid" of him and finding him a new home that can be responsible for him.
That is crazy, i have a pit and he is over almost a year and 6 months. The fact that he has tasted blood is not going to affect his attitude you just have to raise the dog properly. mine would rather lick someone than bite them and he has had treats that are basically dried blood and he has gotten a hold of the little thing at the bottom of the meat pack as well. You just have to give him a lot of love and treat him like you would any other dog i have a Golden Retriever as well and they get along a play together all the time. It is weird but because our Golden Retriever is older he actually dominates over our Pit. It is all how you choose to raise the dog how it turns out. I feel that it is just like raising children.
The only thing he'll attack will be the garbage bags because now he associates the tasty treat with meat packing trays. Just make sure you put a good lid on your garbage. And no raw meat nor blood makes them aggressive, there are lots of folks that feed their dogs these types of diets and they're fine.

Your husband made the dog sound like it was some type of vampire.(lol)
you should not own a pit as you don't trust the dog if you did you would not be having this question .pits are not unlike other dogs ,they have a big rep for meanness but talk to a kind owner and they well tell you they feel very save with there pit .your dog well not hurt others if you feed him meat and bone and blood .make sure you bring him around a lot of people as he grows this well make him a better companion

  1. I have a two year old pit bull who has been raised with two small dogs and a cat. The other day one of the dogs a bishon nipped at the pit bull and the pit bull grabbed it by the neck and didn't let go until it killed it. These two were real good friends...They were raised together. Yes, a pit does turn...It's a house dog with lot's of love. I watched it turn right in front of my eyes. Now I'm looking for a home for her.
