Wolves eat the stomach contents... ANOTHER MYTH... Read the web site. The experts do agree. People tend to just repeat what they have heard with out looking any further.

Yes because they are just tame wolves so eat meat and sometimes dogs eat grass if they have upset stomachs.

While dogs are not true omnivores, they are not strict carnivores either.
There are, in fact, very few land animals who are true carnivores. Wolves and wild dogs can often be found eating fruits and vegetable matter. Even if you feed your dog a strict meat diet, the will still graze in the yard for greens and find other forms of vegetable matter to supplement their diets.

I think there actualy carnavores. You never see dogs eating fruits or vegtibles.

Maybe... both mine love baby carrots. I give that to them instead of their treats from time to time. They both also love bananas and other types of fruit. So there could be a possibility

They eat thier own poop for crying out loud!

yeah they eat grass and meat! How did you not know that. Do you have a dog if you did then you would know that they eat grass.

Dogs are carnivores, but also scavengers that have omnivore-like tendencies. Even in the wild, wolves hunt, but will also eat things like berries that they find. Also, in the wild, when wolves hunt animals, they eat not only the muscle, but also the contents inside the intestines and other organs, which usually contains plant matter. If you feed a dog only muscle meat, it will not be getting the nutrients it needs.

"Dogs are carnivores as well but are also opportunistic scavengers. Dogs in a natural setting will hunt smaller animals for food but will also eat plants, dirt, feces and "found" (often decaying) carcasses that other animals have killed or which died in a natural way."

(Cats, on the other hand, are strictly carnivores.)

Scientifically, no, but they aren't "true carnivores" either. True carnivores eat ONLY meat.

Dogs are classified in the order Carnivora because their teeth are suited to meat-eating. Dogs can eat many other types of food besides meat, like grains, vegetables, human food, etc. An omnivore is defined by its teeth, usually, and dogs lack the molars that would mark them as omnivores.
