Can Dogs Eat Bugs? Safe vs. Dangerous Insects Explained

Dogs are naturally curious creatures! They keep themselves occupied with sniffing, licking, and sometimes gobbling up anything that moves, including alive and dead animals, and bugs.

While this behavior is usually harmless, not all insects are safe for your furry friend. Some bugs are fine to munch on occasionally, while others can cause anything from mild stomach upset to serious illness.
