Zuko (malamute) likes to get them fresh, pinch them with his front teeth, throw them around and keep them for weeks. We joke he has his special “aging” process for them. The first pic was a lucky snap while he was throwing it around. He’ll set them down and lay his head next to them too. We only let him have one at a time because discovering peppers on the floor with one’s feet is…not fun. Just wondering if my dog is a one off weirdo?

Maybe he likes a little spiciness on his tongue this is a first for me
Tbh he does look like a weird guy lol, but the other day I was watching YouTube videos about peppers and one guy had this little Yorkshire that wouldn’t stop munching on the peppers so idk, maybe they all like them but owner won’t let them enjoy or yours is not the only weird one around
Mine liked a ghost once. Now she’s pretty good at judging capsaicin levels by scent! Won’t eat anything hotter than a grocery store Jala now! She LOVES the sweet snacking peppers!
Edit-Cute doggo OP!
My dog like spice too
My dog like spice too
Yes mine loves spicey Kimchi lol
Don’t want to be the party popper here – But you shouldn’t really encourage dogs to eat spicy foods, it can cause upset stomachs (vomiting) and ulcers.
We used to have a Jack Russell that used to Monster my Hot Chilli-Con-Carne, till I mentioned it in passing to a vet who proceeded to let me know how much it can damage them.
Any herbs can be bad for them, some outright toxic.
My dog never showed any adverse effects, but the whole conversation with the vet made me be more careful what I fed her, and my other dogs since.
My cat likes habeneros
I feed my dogs jalapenos and serranos, but nothing hotter. All 3 of them seem to like the spicy food.
I have an alaskan malamute aswell and he loves stealing pods off my superhots🤣
Mine has stolen and eaten many peppers from the counter. Once was a very hot banana pepper. I was horrified but she was thrilled.
All my dogs have never been bothered by spicy foods, at least on their tung. Not sure they like it though, I just think they never bother tasting the food they eat. This is funny though.

This little shit *loves* spicy things. Most recently, I had to stop him from licking the reasonably hot flame roasted salsa I made from scratch with all home grown ingredients…
He used to try to steal the occasional pepper off the plant, but after biting into an aji limon a few years ago he usually doesn’t do that any more. He’s been realllllll close with a few shishitos this year though. He absolutely loves any raw pepper we give him – I’m growing mini bells next summer just for him haha.
My corgi snagged a cut serrano that fell from the countertop, and begged for more. She loves peppers in general, and won’t turn down a hot one. I avoid giving her much because I doubt it’s good for her insides, and I don’t let her have anything hotter than a serrano if I can help it, which thankfully I have thus far
Nope, but I have a 14 year old calico cat that will not leave jalapenos alone. She puts several hundred teeth marks in everyone she can get a hold off. She will steal them all.
I grew habaneros and some other hots, one year, and my husky mix are all of them before I got any. He loved them.
Mine loves sour stuff. He once got up on the table to get to a few warheads and ate all 3 of them.
My old dog fatboy would eat just about what ever I did.
That fucker would even eat my Habanero omlets if I left them unattended, he was also smart enough to pick out the lettuce and onion from burgers.
My cat goes wild for jalapeños!
Mine (GSD) tore into a plant of either reapers or dragon’s breath (can’t recall which). He only did that once. He seemed to not enjoy the experience but as a positive it was how he learned to leave the garden alone.
I’m on my second malamute. Both of those little weirdos would/will scarf down any hot pepper that hits the floor before I have a chance to pick it up.
ETA: current pupper

My lab loses his shit when I’m cutting my peppers cause he got a hold of a jalapeno and loved it. Now he sits and waits for me to give him some lol.
My Doberman loves spicy stuff! Peppers – fuck yea, hot sauce – give me that shit, sriracha specifically – I’ll take the plate out of your hand human. She’s wild
He should try drugs.
No, my dog is normal. He just eats bees for his spicy snacks.
My girl does not lol. She ran up a got a little jalapeño that fell on the floor and licked and backed up and barked at it.
Need to blend it with some kind meat 🍖 is your dogos’ thoughts 🤔
Not a dog but one time I made eggs with ghost peppers in them. I left a little in the skillet on the stove while I ate. Come back to find my cat finished it all off and was visibly happy and wanting more
The first one goes straight to r/cryptiddogs haha
I had a staffy who would dig radishes out of the ground, chomp ’em a few times, look at me like “why is this delicacy ANGRY at me??” spit it out, roll around on it, chomp it a few more times, finally eat it, and then repeat the process.
and then have explosive diarrhea in the car the next day.
if we went to visit someone with a garden, she would investigate for radishes. and only radishes.
Ayfkm? This is an amazing image HAHAHAHA.
That’s a special kinda doggo right there. Goodest spice boiy!!
My dog would eat the cayennes that my friends couldn’t eat.
Lol no dude thats wild
Yes, our dog won’t eat regular Cheetos, but loves hot Cheetos. Weirdo

This was an Anaheim but she gets the jalapeños too. Picks them off my plants when she wants one.
Yeah our malamute has picked numerous cayennes and super hots for me
Meanwhile my birds don’t care about peppers. Maybe they would if they could feel the spiciness? lol
I had a dog some years ago that loved to chew on the corner of the baseboards in the house. To get him to stop, we put Tabasco sauce on it, figuring “That’ll teach him!”.
It did not.
The only thing it taught him, and us, was that he apparently loved hot sauce, because he’d just lick it all up, and proceed to chew on the baseboard, with a mouth clearly on fire!
We only did it a couple times, so I really don’t think we cause him any harm. He lived a great life. That is, until he turned racist and attacked two black people… 😬
We had to put him down after that.
Other than the sudden late-life racism, he was a great dog. I’m sure he’s licking and chewing Tabasco-laced baseboards up in doggy heaven as we speak.
