The problems dogs have with human food

As a general rule, the more recent evolutionary history an animal has eating plants, the better it can tolerate the things in plants. Dogs have a bit of history eating plant food scraps, and a lot of history being carnivorous wolves. Humans have history as herbivorous monkeys rather than just as carnivores and scavengers. That's why we're better at metabolizing caffeine, theobromine, tartaric acid, and a bunch of other phytochemicals than dogs are. Cats have it even worse because they've always been primarily or exclusively carnivorous.

Extremely well behaved dog

That dog has greater willpower than I do

Poptart's like "Dad, what the fuck are you going on about?"

"So anyway, here's a video with and for my dog" is just about the best followup you could have made to your semi-retirement announcement.

either that is one really well behaved dog, or it's not the first time Adam gave the good boy a college lecture

Damn I love this new semi-retired Ragusea just makin vids about whatever

Veterinarian here; this is a lovely breakdown. Super happy to see a clearly well-researched video full of factual information. Also, it's a great accomplishment to have a lab that sits still and doesn't go after food literally hung in front of his face. Not sure I would've fed the chocolate myself, even though yes, it would take QUITE a bit of milk chocolate to cause an issue in a dog that large.

I love how he's talking directly to his dog 70% of the time.

My 20 pound French bulldog once got into my chocolate pantry and ate over a pound of it. I found him rolling on the floor of the bathroom and had to induce vomiting with hydrogen peroxide. He puked all the chocolate put in a giant river of brown foam on the bathroom floor. He was fine a few minutes later but my house smelled like a fudge factory for weeks. Nice video Adam!

Adam's dog: "You're boring me to tears!😭😭 "

LMAO I love the slight fatherly disapproval Adam has for the dog. “Hey you’re not paying attention” to the dog that’s been listening patiently to a dad lecture for 10 minutes 😂 “Some human food can cheer up this otherwise miserable life you lead I’m sure”

Poptart is an amazing name for a dog. Poptart is the goodest doggo. I mean you can tell he's very well trained. Good job Ragusea family!

Let me guess, Pop Tart doesnt actually get to eat Poptarts 😂

The fact that he's a having a conversation with his dog makes my favorite video ever.

My mom feeds her dog ground lamb, beef, pork, and chicken mixed with vitamins and minerals formulated for her breed of dog. That dog eats like a king

He seems much happier in recent vids love it ❤❤

My last dog had some pretty severe allergies so we switched him over to a chicken & beef diet for several years. His blood work came back great on a continual basis, and he was healthy until he passed away.

I love how most of this video you are addressing Poptart. 😂 He is SO well-behaved/trained around food, that is amazing to see!!

lol. Give Poptard a hug afterwards. She probably was confused as she thought she was in trouble at the beginning. You could see it in her face that she was trying really hard listening to see if she could catch anything on why she could have been in trouble. It is unusual for people to talk so in depth with dogs unless when they did something naughty. It was really fun watching Poptard make all of those faces.
