As a general rule, the more recent evolutionary history an animal has eating plants, the better it can tolerate the things in plants. Dogs have a bit of history eating plant food scraps, and a lot of history being carnivorous wolves. Humans have history as herbivorous monkeys rather than just as carnivores and scavengers. That's why we're better at metabolizing caffeine, theobromine, tartaric acid, and a bunch of other phytochemicals than dogs are. Cats have it even worse because they've always been primarily or exclusively carnivorous.

FYI Monkeys are generally omnivores, not herbivores. While early Homo were undoubtably mainly herbivores, they supplemented their caloric intake with bugs and other small protein sources. The diet of an animal generally depends on or changes based on the hunting tools the animal is equipped with, which -alongside the growing need for protein with enlarged brains - is one of the reasons later homo switched to mainly carnivorous diet.

@@jari948Chicken bones never seem to work out well with a dog - they tend to either puke them out in the middle of the night or come out whole in their poop. Beef bones they love, but they'll wear their teeth out on them. After your dog breaks or chips a tooth on a beef shank it isn't any fun if the tooth needs to be extracted. If you want your dog to get bone in their diet, ground bone meal is probably the best option. Most kibble has ground bone it. I tried a raw diet for my dog at one time, but he wasn't really into it. I eventually switched over to cooked chicken & beef, which he loved, and whenever I was trimming the fat off a roast or steak I'd throw that in. Another thing he loved was the rendered fat and skin from a rotisserie chicken; put that on his food and he licked his bowl clean. He leaned out (he'd always been fat after getting fixed), and was a lot more active once the weight came off. The protein-heavy diet combined with immunotherapy shots kept him infection free for many years. Previous to this he'd been primarily fed commercial dog food, but the constant ear and skin infections were a miserable (for him) and expensive (for me) problem. Testing showed a severe allergy to grasses and grains, and nearly all kibbles have either corn (which many dogs are allergic to, causing their feet to itch), or rice.

There is a joke by the way… Probably

Its not always the best to lean on what an animal naturally chooses to eat for feed formulation. This was seen in dairy cows as farmers often used to set out mineral licks and assumed that if a cow needs certain minerals, they would seek it out through the block. It was found that supplementation in the diets of minerals in TMRs and PMRs was more affective and reduced illnesses derived from mineral deficiencies. It can also be seen in humans, most people will seek out high fat and sugar content foods as that is the best tasting but not the best for us. I like the new semi-retired Adam Ragusa video ideas, this was well thought out and covered a lot of content thoughtfully.

As Adam says, quoting Paracelsus, the dose makes the poison. The quantities of food that Adam are holding in front of Poptart are almost certainly not enough to cause death, let alone real danger. Some also aren’t necessarily very attractive for dogs to eat. For instance, those 100 grams of *very* dark chocolate are extremely bitter. Unless the dog can “sense” the high fat content and finds that its desirability outweighs the deterrent of the bitterness, the dog won’t regard it as food. The milk chocolate is high in sugar, so obviously the dog would find that taste desirable and gobble it down, but 100 grams of milk chocolates contains very little theobromine, even compared to what’d be dangerous to a much smaller dog. Likewise that garlic… It’s unlikely the dog would instinctively eat garlic, if given the chance, or onion. The biggest risk, relative to what the dog might try to eat, are probably those sweet, sweet sugar-rich grapes, so if that was to happen, Adam would have to intervene, but he’d have plenty of intervention options and plenty of time, especially if holding the grapes at the time.

Hey adam! Was very excited to see this video on my feed. Your fun science stuff has been my favourite for years.

Loving this season vof your journey Adam.

Awesome cover of the science of the actual food. Would love to add that the "where and how" is just as important as the "what." Give them the treats in their normal food bowl or with a specific signal, like asking them to sit first. If they learn/are allowed to immediately hoover up things off the ground, it's only a matter of time until it's someone's medication or another toxic non-food item that drops on the ground. Basically just make sure that they won't eat random things unless you give the go-ahead. Harder with some breeds than others, but one of those things that's essential for being a responsible dog handler. Giving them scraps while you eat, or while you cook, without making it clear that /these/ scraps are ok to eat can lead to those dangerous behaviors, etc. Not a criticism of Adam's handling of poptart, they are obviously in good hands! Just as important to know as the main topic, though.

This video is great. I love it!

The framing of this video is delightful

Damn this semi-retired Adam is winning the algorithms back, I haven't gotten your videos on my main page for a while now. I used to watch your monday videos religiously but I rarely kept the consistancy with your recipe videos. I really think these interest driven videos are where you shine most Adam, it's like less dramatic Vsauce (Michael here)!

Adam, that cardigan is GORGEOUS where can I get one? Also I am obsessed with the format of this video.

Semi-retired Ragusea is still one of the best youtuber out there. Thank you so much for being yourself!

cool vid old man Ragusea, love your stuff❤

I love how you were talking to your dog and not to us most of the way through
