My shitzu keeps wanting to lick my new baby kittens bottom and barking at it im scared that the dog might eat it Do dogs eat kitten?

Yes dogs can eat cats and if not eat them hurt them like chewing on them but you can train a dog not to eat cats. I have a shtzu X, and she loves cats, but doesn't know how to play gently with them . I have to keep telling her, it's a baby, be gentle. If your dog doesn't go after cats, just don't let them play unsupervised, and keep petting the kitten and saying " IT's a BABY! , be gentle."


What type of cat eats its babies?

A mean one ;( A cat will usually not eat her babies. If one is dead, she will eat that one, to avoid attracting predators and other toms who will come if they smell them. In the wild, the toms will kill and possibly eat the kittens if they are not his, so that the next kittens the queen has will be his, but otherwise, cats do not eat kittens.
