Dogs are predators. We've domesticated a lot of that out of them, sure, but they've got the eyes facing forward and carnivore digestive tract. What would be higher to a wild dog or wolf in the wild?

Actually dogs & wolves have jaws and digestive tracts consistent with omnivores which are significantly longer than that of carnivores.

Correct. They can digest quite a bit of plant matter.

Cats, on the other hand, are carnivores.

I had a cat who liked tomato. It was weird.
