Used to have a working Lakeland that go brambling every year!
The two borders got into a bag of compressed chicken **** pellets the other day and tucked right in the spew down the back of the radiator was just lovely and easy to clean according to the misses

My Teckel scoffed a carrot this afternoon
Loves them. Attacks it for 10 minutes before killing it and eating it
My Labrador absolutely loves rumen contents, she would scoff the lot if I let her, she'll eat that before she eats a kidney as her treat after a stalk. Of course, being a Lab, she prefers to eat both
Just like Slider's dog with brussel sprouts, sometimes her farts after eating gut contents have to be experienced to be believed - she can clear a room
However, she's never sick afterwards and suffers no runny guts either, eating rumen contents seems to do her good so I'll put up with the occasional gas attack

My old Beagle would do the same with carrots, she would dig them up from my dads garden.
My new dog loves broccoli stems.
Had a Spaniel that eat a sock over a weekend, passed it on Tuesday, washed it on Wednesday, fit like a glove on Thursday. Same dog came up the garden with a ten pound note. I kid you not.

Our hound thought all her Christmases had come at once when the farmer bought a load of wonkey carrots to feed the sheep. They were put in a long row across the field and she started at one end.
At Blackberry time you can loose her in the brambles - she picks them herself. Ditto apples, pears, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries and blaeberries. Not keen on sloes though. And she grazes on grass.
All carnivores do need vitamins and nutrients from plants. Its why the eat the stomach contents of grazing and browsing animals first.

Although they are predominantly carnivores, wolves and the likes of foxes will eat berries, roots and, frankly anything that'll get them by in times of want. As for my dogs over the years, mostly Labradors, like humans, they can have some likes and dislikes. One loves to munch into an apple or pear or similar fruits. Another wouldn't eat any crisps whatsoever, but liked prawn crackers.
A Dalmatian that lived in a neighbours house used to be destructive if left on it's own in the house. It was a little crazy (aren't they all). Probably separation anxiety I guess. So they would put it in the garage when they went out. Come Christmas time, however, they'd put the frozen turkey on a worktop in the garage. When they went out for a spot of Christmas retail therapy, the dog scoffed the whole, still frozen turkey. It died, of course. Anyway, a bit off topic..

I am convinced that serving Brussell sprouts is a serious offence.
