Yeah, they can eat vegetables and stuff, and even live off of them for a short time if it has the right nutrients, but I'd venture to guess that the ability or inclination to do so is a fairly recent selection in their genes.The White Hunter said:They generally will eat vegetables if they're in the meat but they wont seek it out.Zontar said:Domesticated dogs have evolved teeth which can chew fruit and vegetables due to cohabitation with humans, though meat is still the bulk of their diet.Eddie the head said:Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't dogs naturally eat meat? Maybe they can get the nutrients form other places, but I always thought dogs digestive tracks where more sensitive then say a human or a pig. We could probably do without meat, but I don't know if that's the same for a dog? I don't know I'll ask a vet or something.
Dogs are like humans in that they will eat anything. Even the stuff humans and other animals crap out for some reason.
I don't know of any dog who's willingly sought out vegetables and only one who liked fruit.
