The CAN have:
Boneless skinless chicken with no fat
Raw vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, lettuce)
Cooked vegetables/Starches/Carbs (peeled potato and sweet potato, squash, rice, pasta, broccoli, oats)
Fruits (melon, peeled and cored apple, berries)
Dairy if not lactose intolerant (plain yogurt, low fat and preferrably low sodium cottage cheese...ask vet before feeding to a pancreatitis patient)



I want to add a couple more things to the DO NOT FEED list:
Seeds from fruits like apples
Pits like peach pits, avocado pits, plum pits, etc.
These two things are toxic to dogs.
Also, avoid any fatty foods or seasoned foods...

They can have a ton of different veggies. If you are feeding people food for *nutritional value, veggies should be cooked or pulverized as dogs can't break veggies down like humans can if they are not cooked/pulverized.
