Old meat. Immune to botulotoxin. May get diarrhea, but if they gobble up some old thing they find, they’ll be more or less fine.

Well that’s how I got thinking about this - they’re not fine to eat some foods which seem innocuous to a human, it could kill them, like grapes. Some commenters here have talked about sort of the condition of food - if it’s old, spoiled, has bacteria or maybe parasites. But I’m curious specifically about food that’s inherently toxic to humans, even in pristine condition, which isn’t to dogs.

I have 51 dogs at home and can’t think of anything. BTW: garlic being toxic to dogs is an old myth, we feed them lots of garlic powder in summer to repel mosquitoes a little.
