I am assuming his bowel movements would let me know if it isn't good for him................I guess I just want to know if I should actually be doing ONE or the OTHER..........either ALL kibble or ALL human food........does anyone have a thought about that??
My neighbors have given their pekenese ALL Human food his whole life and he is now 15. When I grew up I had a terrier/poodle mix and we gave him 1/2 people food and 1/2 kibble and he lived to 13 years old.  |
I mix human food with their kibble all the time. They aren't "leftovers," but rather chicken, rice, and vegetables that I cook especially for them. As long as you make sure the human food you are mixing in doesn't have extra fat, seasonings, or salt and is healthy for dogs, I think it mixing in human food is a good idea.
