Can you die from eating dog food?

yes it can, especially when they are young. they will eat till the bowl is empty, and if you kept refilling it, well, they would go boom. When dogs eat too much, too fast, it can also sometimes result in what vets call "stomach turning/twisting". Basically, their stomach flips and this is usally fatal. That's why you can only feed a dog so much per day, spreading out that amount over different periods of time. For example, I feed my small dog 1/2 a cup in the morning and 1/2 a cup at night. I feed my bigger dogs 1 cup in the morning, and 1 cup at night. This prevents them from eating their meal for the day all at once. Always check with your vet to make sure you are feeding them the appropriate amount and talk about a "feeding" schedule for your pooch. Hope this helped.
