Yes No
No. No! No! No! Your dogs food has gone spoiled and now has bugs in it. Bugs are not a good thing. In the future if you store your dogs food in an airtight container it will keep the bugs out. Also store it where it's not too warm. Warm temperatures can cause food to spoil. Well it is. And mostly safe. But you should know which bugs your dog can and can’t eat. Flies and moths. It’s safe for your dog to catch a few of these. In fact, he’ll get the most exercise trying to catch just one because they fly around. Crickets. There’s nothing cuter than a dog mimicking the jumps of a cricket. It’s mostly safe for a dog to eat these—in fact many humans are turning to this jumpy bug for the high protein. That being said, chemicals in your yard can poison crickets, and get in your dog’s tummy. If your yard is sprayed with chemicals, keep your pup away from crickets. It can be very difficult to stop your dog from eating bugs. Usually a good sting is motivation enough. Fortunately, most dogs are not allergic and should learn their lesson once they experience the unpleasantness of a sting, or a bad taste as well :-). They do eat those annoying little critters both in and out of our homes. No matter how hard we protect them from gulping down these potentially dangerous bugs, they always have a way to hunt and devour them. If the safety of your dog is what concerns you, there is no clear cut answer for that. Sharon G. -------------------------------------------. Hello Sharon, This is a good question. Most bugs are not toxic in the sense that they will cause liver and/or kidney damage if ingested, but there are a few notable ones that I will discuss.
