Reply to comment by vanriggs in TIL: Dogs don't have digestive enzymes in their saliva, nor can they chew side to side. Their jaws only allow for up-and-down movement because their diet doesn’t need as much chewing as ours does. by theotherbogart

Maybe it’s a weird way of describing the way we chew with our mouths closed? They way a dog chomps at food, like they’re trying not to drop it, maybe that’s the lack of “side to side?” I don’t know, I thought that was a weird description too.
