I do not leave the kitchen with anything dog-interesting on the table. But I did not forsee THAT!!!
Those are two pizza bases (pinsas) with homemade tomato sauce (consisting of tomatoes, salt, pepper, garlic, and oregano). She licked it off as fare as she could reach!

My dog ate 12 balls of dough I was proofing to make tortillas. Just raw dough. She would have eaten all of that.

Was she ok? I’m part of a sourdough group and people are constantly freaking out about dogs eating dough because it will expand in their stomachs and can make them very sick.

My dog started eating ripe tomatoes right off the vine in the garden. I couldn't believe it

Our old heeler was a big guy and would jump up to the low branches on our apple tree to pick apples. And he'd eat blueberries off the bushes. Quite an amusing sight

Mine was getting the raspberry. And my first was digging out the potatoes but not eating them.

My dog did that all summer. I’d let him hang around the garden while I was doing other stuff outside. Took me a couple months to figure out why he was getting so fat.

My dog ate a frozen chip last night cos it fell on the floor. They're just silly like that

My dogs eat radish, broccoli (fresh and frozen), loves carrots and cucumbers. Once, they jumped on the table and eat a massive bowl of Greek salad. Not many things can surprise me anymore... but tomato sauce??? I am bewildered!

I would LOVE if my dog ate orange peel! It seems much more attractive than the cat poo she favours 🤢

Frozen chip? Like French fry right? Sorry american😅. Pretty sure chips elsewhere are like fries.

u/Astropoppet 1d ago
Yes, a fry, it fell on the floor as I was putting them in the oven. My dog is a flipping gannet when there's food around

My puppy has started counter surfing but was doing so much better until my husband left out a tomato las night. Literally as he turned to grab the onion it was gone. Puppy thought it was a ball and when he bit into it you could see he locked in and discovered what he had and I don’t know if we’ll ever be safe again

My first dog began her counter-surfing career at a new house by eating half a tray of (cool) biscuits from the stovetop, because that's as far as her nose could reach. Forever afterward, one roommate (who grew up in the Texas Hill Country) would occasionally refer to her as "That biscuit-stealin' dog."

u/AdTrue2110 16h ago
Yes thank you that’s why I’m glad it was the tomato I would never let them near garlic and onion and with it being stinky I usually take it and use it immediately so it never is on a counter as long as the tomato was.

One time I made kotbullar (Swedish meatballs) and put them in rows. I pushed the board with meatballs deep in the counter, but when I came back two rows closest to the edge were gone.
One of my dogs jump in to the chair and ON the table. And then she learned to jump from the table to the counter. Like a bloody monkey-goat cross. The key is to push the chairs all the way to the table.

u/saggy_boner 2d ago
You don't think pizza is something the dog would be interested in?
2
u/Kesse84 1d ago
Not the unbaked, bare of toppings, any kind of protein, dairy, or fat of any kind - no, I did not think it would be article of interest...

If I leave a bowl of flour out while I'm baking, my cat will sneak over and start eating the plain flour out of the bowl, so...yeah.

Anything tomato sauce is like crack for our German Shepherds.

u/Ordinary_Panic_6785 1d ago
Yep, had a dog that would fight me for a bowl of sauce and walk around with a red beard of victory

u/TASTE-THE-WASTE 17h ago
My German shepherd was really good about not counter-surfing, except with tomatoes or anything made with tomatoes.

Raw dough is dangerous for dogs, fyi! "yeast ferments in their warm, moist stomach, causing bloating, alcohol poisoning, and potentially life-threatening conditions."

u/Sabi-Star7 1d ago
But she didn't eat the dough, just licked the sauce off the base.

u/Thequiet01 1d ago
Yeah but it was left where the dog could reach it. So next time the dog might get the whole thing.

u/Sabi-Star7 1d ago
Well, im sure due to this incident, they learned their lesson on leaving ANYTHING within the dogs reach or dogs tongue reach🤣

When I was in my 20s my dog (130lb Bernese Mountain) ate a little less than an ounce of my weed and didn’t bat an eyelash. And YES I took him to the vet and the licensed and trained veterinarian herself told me he would just sleep it off. She also told me I am not the first idiot to leave my stash accessible to their animal. I felt like a terrible person but after we realized he was gonna be ok we called him Stoner for awhile lol his name was Rocky. RIP (not from the pot)

My dog generally ignored food on the table until my mom left a cake out to cool off. I think it was pineapple upside down cake, or a lemon cake. (All I remember is that it was some kind of yellow cake.) He ate the whole thing and had a belly ache but no regrets. He also learned how to eat ripe raspberries off the plants in the back yard. He had a weakness for sweets.

u/Thequiet01 1d ago
My FIL was always in a race with their dog to see who’d get to the ripe raspberries first. 😂

My brother’s dog ate a plastic bag of dough he left on the counter to rise. Plastic and all. Had to have surgery to remove it because it did in fact rise faster inside the dog.

My old Boxer once ate just the chicken off a salad that was left on a plate on the counter. Left everything else.

My dog did this to a pumpkin pie at my moms house the night before Thanksgiving. He was so annoyed he didn't get breakfast with the other dogs.

Dogs eat shit, rocks, sticks, hair, and literal poisons. Of course they'll lick some pizza sauce.

Anything that he knows goes in your mouth is dog-interesting (I routinely have doggo conversations like, "Look! It's just dental floss!")

u/Koeienvanger 1d ago
Y'all need to learn what food is interesting to dogs. Which, to many dogs, is nearly everything edible, semi-edible, or sometimes not edible at all.
Tomato paste is absolutely dog-interesting.

It smells like food, how could you not foresee that
