I gave my dog the last hotdog of a pack earlier in small pieces n he refused it, spat it all out, wouldnt bite a piece off in my hand, nothing.
I opened a new pack n he went for the hotdog.
Can a dog identify something wrong with a food? I saw a pack of "turned green" hotdogs at publix once too, I'm wondering whats going on if my dog won't even eat it lol.

Having worked 40 hours a week pulling spoiled hot dogs and lunchmeats off of a grocery stores shelves, I can tell you that:
1. even if the hot dogs are fine, there is spoiled hot dog juice all over the outside of the package. Wash the package before you open it!
2. spoiled hot dogs:
have an air bubble in the package
have turned a little yellow - they eventually turn
very green as they spoil
are slimy
or package is dripping

I thought using hotdogs as a training treat was pretty common? I read references to them on the board all the time, my breeder told me to use them, when I went to visit the Central Florida Police & Shutzhund Club they told me to bring a pack of hotdogs and a crate, and the trainer that runs the club has a ready supply of hotdogs for her own dog.

Am I really going to be the first one to say,
"YOU SHOULD NOT BE FEEDING YOUR DOG HOT DOGS!!!!!!"?
I thought that was just common sense. Neither one of my dogs has ever even tasted human food, let alone a hot dog!
Your dog has never eaten "human food"? No meat? No vegetable matter? What does your dog eat?
I don't mean to be snotty, but this sounds weird to me......as if there were some secret food that only dog food companies knew about, and that other humans could not possibly understand canine nutrition.
You know, right, that this is not the diet of these dogs? That they are talking about little pieces of hot dogs used as training treats and making up a very small part of the overall nutrition? Also, that the members of this forum, by and large (IMO) know a lot about canine nutrition and do NOT think that only commercial food manufacturers have the brains to learn how to feed dogs?
I do sound snotty. I'm sorry about that, but the "human food" statement kind of blew me away.
WOW! You really stepped in that one <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> What is it that these hotdogs are gonna do? I am curious about this considering dogs are scavangers.
