What it means?

Carnivores have specialized adaptations, such as sharp teeth and claws, to help them hunt, capture, and consume other animals. Examples of carnivores include dogs, lions, wolves, and sharks.

How it applies?

Many will argue that dogs are omnivores because they can eat plant matter. While this is true, dogs have adapted to their environment over time to survive. However, a dog's anatomy, including its gastrointestinal system and dentition, shows that dogs are opportunistic or facultative carnivores, whereas cats are obligate carnivores.

Additional info?

Dogs can benefit from some fruit and veggies, although in moderation. Veggies must be steamed, pureed, or fermented to facilitate digestion and increase bioavailability.
