| Do you letyour furbabies eat on the same plate? I will like 2 know if you let your furbabie's eat on the same plate that you do? The reason why i ask this question is beacause i had a visitor today at my home, and i was eating my dinner, so my little boy,CoCoa B. came up beside me and started 2 eat from my plate. Which is okay by me, I don't have a problem with that at all. But this visitor was so shocked by that, I thought she was going 2 have a heart attack in my home,she says 2 me oh my lord,Arzel why are you letting him eat from your plate at the same time that you are. And she says 2 me that she doesn't allow that kind of behavior from her dog's period! Ad I kindly got up, headed for the closet where her coat was at, and came back 2 her and handed her coat, and I said 2 her it's time 4 you 2 leave because CoCoa B., lives her, and not her! And she kefted my home upset of course by this, but I don't care. So how many of you let your furbabies eat from your plate at the same time as you do?

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Sometimes (depending upon what we're eating) I will give them a bite or two from my plate, but they don't share my plate. I don't mainly because they shouldn't be having the same food as I do. I'm not really considering the sanitary reasons though - that doesn't bother me too much.

| I voted no because I don't like anyone - human or animal - eating off my plate I will share food with the babies but they know it has to come from my hand.

| With five fluffs..........I feed them all out of separate raised dog feeders with stainless steel bowls. They each know where they are to go when it is feeding time and they respect each other's area. I am sure if I fed them out of one bowl/plate..........someone would not get their fair share!

| NOPE !! When I have finished my meal , I will save them a couple bites and I do feed them off my fork. But it is when I have finished my meal.. And they eat there dinner from there own little plates.. However I do feed them on my bed. I put down a clean cloth and set there plates on it, I have a bigger dog in the house that would quickly eat whatever I give them if it was on the floor. |

| No, Ellie doesn't eat off of my plate. I will give her a couple bites occasionally only if it won't hurt her. If I leave a plate or bowl sitting around though, she has licked it. I do sometimes share ice cream cones and such with her though.

| I normally do not let my furbaby eat from my plate. She has such a sensitive tummy when it comes to people food that there's only certain things she can have. |

| My doggies don't eat my food and I don't eat theirs. They don't eat from my plates/bowls and I don't eat from theirs.

| yes - but only after I finished eating and then I will put the plate down on the floor with leftovers which I separate in three sections and each pooch gets their fair share (with no fights I might add)

| I probably would have been just as shocked as your guest was. My furkids are spoiled rotten and anyone who knows me will tell you that and I do at times give them something from my plate when it is something healthy or good for them. But I would never let them eat right off my plate when I was eating. What if you had something on your plate that was bad for them? You can't tell them they can only eat certain foods on your plate, or that they are only allowed to eat off your plate certain times, it doesn't work that way. It is a bad behavior for them to learn in my opinion.

| I usually save a few bites and give it to him in his plate.
