Can you die from eating dog food?

yes it can, especially when they are young. they will eat till the bowl is empty, and if you kept refilling it, well, they would go boom. When dogs eat too much, too fast, it can also sometimes result in what vets call "stomach turning/twisting". Basically, their stomach flips and this is usally fatal. That's why you can only feed a dog so much per day, spreading out that amount over different periods of time. For example, I feed my small dog 1/2 a cup in the morning and 1/2 a cup at night. I feed my bigger dogs 1 cup in the morning, and 1 cup at night. This prevents them from eating their meal for the day all at once. Always check with your vet to make sure you are feeding them the appropriate amount and talk about a "feeding" schedule for your pooch. Hope this helped.

Yes if you are allergic to any of the contents/ingredients in the dog food. but usually no you can not die from eating dog food, although it is strongly ill advised. So over all no you can't die from eating dog food but you could get a serious stomach ache or throw up.

Yes they can. If for example a dog was to have access to a full bag of dog food and it happened to eat all of it that can cause the dog to bloat which could kill it.

Why is your dog only eating treats but not food?

Well try putting hot water on it or you can always mix it in with wet dog food. Or you could even try a different flavor or type of dog food. Good luck!! Try feeding your dog only Dog Food, do not give the dog any other type of food,especially food that is meant for people,dogs will often shun their own dog food in favor of getting people food..Switch between dry and canned or a mix of the two..It may take a day or even two days but eventually hunger and instinct will cause the dog to eat its own food...Once that happens continue to feed the animal only dog food and give them treats specifically for dogs.People food is not recommended for dogs because of the additives and preservatives it contains.. This is what I do to make my dog eat her dog food.. -I put ground beef into her bowl, and then I pour hot water over it (just a bit) and then I put the dry dog food in, after the water has absorbed the flavors of the meat.
