Carnivores use their sharp, pointed canine teeth to cut and tear meat. These teeth are typically larger and more pronounced than those of herbivores, allowing them to grip and slice through flesh effectively. Additionally, the carnivore's premolars and molars have serrated edges that assist in shearing and grinding meat. This dental adaptation is crucial for their predatory lifestyle.

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.
