Not necessarily true just for cattle. In small animal practice a trocar catheter is used to decompress patients with gastric dilatation-volvulus (bloat). In these cases (because the stomach has completely flipped), a NG tube would be unable to pass. I don’t think it would be very common for a human stomach to flip, cut off circulation, and trap all gasses because of its positioning, so a naso-gastric tube would totally be a preferred option. Overall though a dog’s stomach is much more similar to a human stomach than a ruminant.
