And if your animal seems off it's feed or the food doesn't look or smell right, don't feed any more of it.

Exactly. Usually dogs will eat most anything so if they stop eating a food that they normally liked its a sign that something is wrong with the food or something is wrong with them and they should be looked at by a vet.

I have a Lab and the biggest red flag is when she doesn't eat. When she's healthy she's like a garbage disposal with 4 legs and fur!

Yup, Labs are just a stomach with a search-and-retrieve function.

Mine will eat ANYthing remotely resembling food. She's pretty good about not eating non-food items, although she does chew the tags and any other protruding small appendages off her soft toys. Fortunately she doesn't swallow the bits, she leaves them lying around . . . she just chewed the eyeballs off her stuffed lizard, I found two little mournful eyes staring up at me from the living room floor. I sewed up the holes and made the little reptile black "X"s for his eyes.
