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.

    Old meat. Immune to botulotoxin. May get diarrhea, but if they gobble up some old thing they find, they’ll be more or less fine.

      Well that’s how I got thinking about this - they’re not fine to eat some foods which seem innocuous to a human, it could kill them, like grapes. Some commenters here have talked about sort of the condition of food - if it’s old, spoiled, has bacteria or maybe parasites. But I’m curious specifically about food that’s inherently toxic to humans, even in pristine condition, which isn’t to dogs.

        I have 51 dogs at home and can’t think of anything. BTW: garlic being toxic to dogs is an old myth, we feed them lots of garlic powder in summer to repel mosquitoes a little.
