Do carnivores have rounded teeth?
Most herbivores don't have canine teeth. Horses do.
Do omnivores have teeth like a carnivores or a herbivores?
Omnivores' teeth are more similar to herbivores, but share some traits with both. Pure carnivores, or "hyper-carnivores" do not have masticating teeth (flat topped molars) but rather, all their teeth are designed to tear and cut. Your house-cat is a true carnivore. Look at its teeth in the back, they do not have flat tops. Dogs are primarily carnivorous as well, but their teeth are a not quite as good an example as a cats bc they have evolved to be somewhat omnivorous (tho very limited).

Which animal have canine teeth?
All animals' teeth depend on what they eat, because different teeth have different functions. I speak for mammals here.All mammals have canine teeth. 'Canine' means dog, so these are essentially dog teeth. They are so named because dogs are members of the family Canidae, one of the dominant carnivorous families. All carnivores (meat eaters) and most omnivores (eat meat and plants) have large, prominent, well-developed canine teeth, to rip, tear and cut meat. Big cats, bears, and stoats/weasels etc. also have large canine teeth.All mammals have canines, but in herbivores, they are small and often flattened. Humans have canine teeth. Even horses have canine teeth - the small bony projection in the middle of the diastema is called a wolf tooth, and it was often believed that knocking out the wolf tooth improved a 'bad doer' or young horse that did not gain weight, was weak or scraggly.
What characteristics make a dog successful carnivore?
Dogs have teeth that are specialised for tearing meat. Long canines are for catching and holding down struggling prey, and the premolars and molars are jagged and sharp and act like scissors, they cut mouth-sized chunks of meat for the dog to swallow. Because of this, dogs can only move their jaw up and down, they cannot grind food like humans and other omnivore animals. Dogs also get most, if not all their needed nutrients from meat, organs and bone. Through the many centuries of living with humans, dogs became very adaptable and learned to scavenge for food, so their stomachs can deal a wide range of vegetable matter and other foods. Plants and vegetables can be used as part of a dog's diet, but they aren't a necessity.
How teeth are different in plant eating and flesh eating animals?

A cat can also use these teeth to crack and crunch bone, which provides them with calcium and other nutrients.
