Do dogs get the heat from capsaicin? Yes, they do. And ring of fire. A
woman on chile-heads once told about her new puppy who picked and ate a
hab, I think. He dropped it and barked, picked it up, dropped and barked.
Using this routine, he ate the whole chile. For the next few days every
time he defecated he barked. Your Papillon (aptly named) is just a very
brave tyke. Margaret L

I know this has been discussed on the list before, but since I didn't have
a dog at the time, I didn't pay attention.
Do dogs taste "hot" food?
We were lucky enough to get Sugar, our little papillon, last May, and she
never flinches about what I am eating, from Cabot's hab cheese to
curry. Maybe she doesn't taste it? Do they get ring of fire, then?
TIA!
