Yes. Dogs can eat rats. Its a normal thing. As long as the rat didn't have any poison in it, a dog shouldn't have any problems.

Yes rats especially like to eat meat and most owners and keepers of rats feed them some small amount of it to keep them happy and healthy

Your dog might of ate a rat how do you know if your dog has a deses from the rat?

Your dog will be fine. Dogs are decedents of wolfs they can eat raw meat and digest it properly. I would be concerned if your dog does not have it's rabies shot up to date and was bitten by the rat, or if your dog just found the dead rat the rat may have been poisoned. If they are acting normal I wouldn't worry about it. You can also go to the vet althought your dog is probably fine!


Would if your pet rat eats rat poison?

Of course; the poison is still in the rat and your dog will ingest this. Since your dog is larger than a rat it won't affect it as much, but lots of dogs will die or get very sick if they eat rat poison by themselves so immediately call your vet. Never let your dog eat dead animals that they haven't killed themselves (don't let them eat if they shouldn't have killed as well as it will encourage them to kill more) and don't let them eat animals that are being poisoned in your area, eg: rats, mice, rabbits, etc.

If a dog eat rat poison does it get a rash?

Your dog may develop a rash several days to a week after ingesting some types of rat poison because it is having a bleeding crisis. One type of rat poison works by eliminating Vitamin K from the body, which keeps the dog from being able to clot its blood. Over time, this will kill the dog (and is how it kills rats, too) unless it is treated by a veterinarian. If you know that your dog recently ate rat poison, get it to the veterinarian immediately - this is a medical emergency.

It depends on the size of the dog and the size of the rat. If the dog is a Chihuahua or a yorkie and the rat is as large there is a chance that it could kill the dog but it might just run off.
