Why do squirrels eat my dogs food?

Squirrels will eat just about anything they can easily find. Try feeding your dog indoors, to prevent any complications.Why do squirrels eat my dogs food?
well, this is really simple. u need to put squirrel food out and then they won't eat the dog food.Why do squirrels eat my dogs food?
hahaahahaha mann thats funny...





if you put ur dog's food dish outside, then thats why. either move ur dog's feeding area to inside in the kitchen (so that no food gets on the carpet in the rest of your house) or put out a squirrel feeder so that squirrels will have their own food to eat.
because they're hungry
They will eat about anything. Especially if it is an easy meal Ann
They're hungry I guess.
Squirrels will eat almost anything that is used to make dog food. Even bone meal, Put out some whole kernel corn in a feeder and the squirrels should start going to it instead of the dogs food.
they are hungry
Yesssssssss squirrels will eat almost anything
Squirrels are scavengers and eat pretty much anything, and work very little for it. Have you ever heard of someone complaining about how the squirrels ate their bird seeds? Honestly, if it is dry dog food, if you look at the components that make up the dry dog food, it is stuff like grains and etc. That isnt too much different from the nuts and such that you find on the ground, and why would they go hunting and digging for it, when you put it very easily in a bowl for them. :) Maybe you should switch where you put the dogs food (besides, squirrels can carry illnesses, so can the raccoons that find the food tasty, and anything else that might get in the food) to keep other animals from it and to keep your dog safe. OR - you could always put the food with the dog for a period of time, keep your eye on it and then bring it in to put out at the same time the next day. It doesnt matter day or night either, because there are nosey animals at both times.





Hope this helps.
Squirrels will eat anything, and if you let them have a food source, they can literally infest the place and chew your house to pieces. They are specially dangerous around electrical wiring.
Squirrels like food. Any kind. If you leave your dog food outside, your bound to have a squirrel problem later in the year when it's mating season. Now, I'm no squirrel expert, but I think you can either make a box around the food bowl, keep the food bowl in your dog's house, or let your dog eat inside. Hope this helps!

I live in Boise, Idaho and there are a lot os those little guyys running around. They like to get anything that requires little effort. I am from the Southern States and I would have normally had a few of them on my dinner plate. LOL!!! Here they are more like public pets. If they do not bother you too much enjoy them. Sguirrels are good at finding weak spots on bird feeders. There manufacturers that try to make squirrl proof feeders. Usually they will find a weak point if they like what is on the menu.
