No, not talking about their own shit or vomit, har de har. I mean how dogs can’t have chocolate, can’t eat grapes. Are there things it’s no big deal for them but would be toxic for us.

    Dogs have a much shorter digestive tract. So things that have been sitting out and have parasites in them have a much smaller chance of making a dog sick than they do humans. This is why dogs can eat most raw meats without getting sick, while humans need special preparation for raw meats to make sure parasites aren’t in them.

    My dog often eats raw bones of various animals. Last month he came home with a wild boar skull which has now eaten almost entirely, aside from the teeth and tusks.

    Yesterday he caught and ate an entire rabbit. There wasn’t even a single hair left.

    These are not things any human I know can do, safely or otherwise.

    Some antibiotics, like sulfonamides, can be used in dogs but might cause adverse reactions in humans, such as allergies or severe skin reactions.

    dog food. most contains bone meal which can shred the somewhat delicate human digestive tract, but is safe for dogs to eat.

      This isn’t true, at least in the US. The vast majority of dog food is safe for human consumption, albeit not recommended.

    They seem to tolerate eating straight up poop just fine. Humans wouldn’t handle that so well.
