Are dogs carnivores, like their closest wild cousin the wolf? Or are they omnivores, like the coyotes who scavenge berries and other plant material when prey is hard to find? We’ll get to the answer, but first, let’s go over what it means to be a carnivore or an omnivore.
What Is the Difference Between Carnivores and Omnivores?
As we’ll get into, there’s a difference in whether we’re talking about dietary requirements or taxonomy. Most of the time, people use these terms to refer to dietary requirements, which, simply put, define carnivores as animals who eat meat and omnivores as animals who eat plant matter and meat.
