Can humans eat dog food or dog treats?
Hi every one, I was wondering if humans could eat dog food/ dog treats because my friend told me that you could. But I though it was possible, but wouldn't you get sick or something like that? Also can humans eat cat food/ cat treats? Thx! :)
What do I do if my dog ate lots of Oreos? Is it safe?
This actually happened to my mother's dogs once. They both destroyed an entire package of oreos. There was much screaming from my mother who couldn't get them outside fast enough, and much laughter from my father as he kept a safe distance in order to remain uncovered in projectile dog poop. As both dogs spun around in circles trying to get outside spraying down everything in sight.Let's just say it was easier to just get new wallpaper for the front hall. Both dogs went to the vet as soon as possible and were kept under close watch for a while, but both ended up being fine with no serious complications other than a little dehydration.Just make sure you get your dog to the vet as soon as possible to be checked out.
Okay my dog just ate some oreos about 7 what should i do?
ok your dog should be ok because Oreo aren't entirely chocolate but if you start noticing a different in your dogs behavior take him to vet
My dog accidentally ate a chocolate cookie, but it was a little less than half. What might happen and what should I do?
Probably nothing, but you should still keep an eye on your dog and call your vet if the dog seems ill. That’s always best. Canine tolerance to chocolate can really vary.Now, let me tell you a tale of a dog named Freebie, AKA You Rat Bastard, You Just Ate Half a Bag of Butterfingers. I inherited Freebie from my dad, who loved dogs, but was mighty careless about their health. The two notable incidents I recall from my dad’s half-amused/half-annoyed recollections were the time Freebie ate an entire chocolate cake and the time he ate an enormous order of General Tso’s Chicken. Reportedly, he felt pretty bleah afterward, but he survived.He’s now 11 and has he learned his lesson? Hell, no. The Butterfinger incident was this winter. Outcome? No effect whatsoever. I have to put any chocolate I have into the cupboard because if I, say, put something out for lunch the next day, the cats will knock it off the counter and that damned dog will eat it all. He’s really good at finding stuff I didn’t even know I had in my book bag.Look at this guy. Just look at him. You’d never know he was a hardened chocolate thief.
Is there any danger to accidentally eating a dog treat?
After school, I once entered one my parents kitchen looking for a snack. I saw in the clear jar some new generic looking oreo cookies. The creamy center tasted exactly like an oreo, but the outside tasted very strange (kind of like nasty meat). I figured it was a health food cookie and told my sibling I didn't like the new "healthy" cookies. Then to my surprise she told me I had eaten a dog treat cookie. Now I wonder what do they put into those things? Are they dangerous for human consumption? Anyone else done this before?
Is it okay for people to eat dog treats?
I’ve been a dog trainer for over 25 years, and I would say “it all depends”.Dogs are scavengers, biologically, and their systems are designed to be much more tolerant of non-optimal edibles, so the dog food/treat manufacturers are not held to the same standards as those who make the same for human consumption.However, good dog treats and good dog foods have the ingredients (including percentages, fat, protein, numerous minerals and vitamins, etc.) printed on the package just like human food. You’ll see they are largely the same ingredients we find in human cookies, jerkys, and health bars, minus the sugar, chocolate, and other items that are not good for dogs. So yes, it is okay for people to eat dog treats, but I would look at the package first.Still, there’s nothing to be afraid of. Anyone who has spent much time training dogs has had a cookie or training treat in their mouths at times and none of us has keeled over from “dog cookie poisoning.”A friend asked me to help with some behavior issues she was having with a new dog, but she herself was not at all a new “dog person”, having had at least a couple over the course of 20 years. After greeting her dog, I asked my friend if she had any treats and she pointed to the counter top where a package of cookies was lying open. There was no label on them and they looked very much like stamped sugar or peanut butter cookies so I asked her if they were for dogs. She said she really couldn’t remember, so I picked one up and bit off a chunk, got a good taste and easily identified them as dog cookies (no sugar was the first giveaway). She looked at me dumbstruck and then started making retching noises(!!!!!!!!!!). She said, “you ATE THAT!?!?!??, IT’s for a DOG!!!”.I ran her through the information written here and then muttered to myself “it wasn’t like the cookie came out of the back end of the dog” and proceeded to have a great session with her pooch….. who LOVED the cookies, by the way (the dog and I have good taste!).
Can your dog get sick if she ate 3 Oreos?
3 Oreos is obviously a whole lot more sugar for a chihuahua than a great dane, so effects will vary from vomiting and the runs to no affect at all, but regardless no permanent damage will be done. Regular eating of high sugar foods will certainly lead to worse health problems down the road though, so you don’t want to feed these things on purpose and do want to take care about leaving them out of reach.
What will happen if my dog eats Oreos?
Nothing. Cookies like that are mostly flavoring and coloring and if any, the amount of actual cocoa would be negligible. That does not mean they are good for him; keep such stuff out of reach.
Why do dog food/treats taste bad to us but good to dogs?
It boils down to three things, from what I know.A dogs tastes buds are less receptive to some flavors, and more to others, compared to humans. Dogs do not taste the spoiled flavor of meat, they just taste the meat. Also, dogs cannot actually taste sweet.A dogs brain is wired for survival on a different level to us humans. Scientist in Korea determined that the more nutritionally sound a dogs diet, the less pleasure they feel from good food. However, if the dog is on an unbalanced or poor diet, then good food lights up their brains like Xmas. A hungry dog, literally thinks and experiences food as tasting better when hungry, and since dogs burn through calories at almost 50x that of a healthy human…they are pretty much always hungry.humans have adapted to a diet that is heavy on spices, like salt, pepper garlic, ect. try cooking your next burger without any seasonings, on a very clean frying pan, with ‘old fashion’ bread that is made without sugar, no mustard, no ketchup, no cheese. Just some unseasoned meat on some unflavored bread. It tends to taste pretty close to dog food.
