 The people food thing bothers me.....
not trying to start a fussy argumentative thread. But it kind of bothers me to read of people giving thier dogs the people food. Espeacially these little guys. I did it too when I first got mine and its what I regret probably the most. He is spoiled and barks to get what I have now. But dont you guys think its probably really not good for them to get the ice creams, and the mac and cheese and pizza and other things? Im guilty too. I used to give mine bites of lunch meat, cheese and other things. I didnt give them just anything but still regret giving them that. After my vet told me how these guys are prone to the pancreatiis and how it can really take them down. Now I only give him bites of bread , like the crust from a sandwich, and occasionally a piece of a cracker. if eating pizza I might would pinch off some crust. But I think I will stop doing that even. After thinking about what my vet said. I think Its doing them a better jutice to deny them these things . Limit it to dog treats and maybe a few rare people safe food like the boiled plain chicken. But these proccessed foods with stuff in it. I think I'm going to cut back even more on what I give my guy. Its like w real kids out of real love you have to deny them sometimes and not give them everything they want.
It just bothers me cauze you hear about the big big yorkies or the ones w sickness on here, and I wonder how much of that might be from the people treats. Now don't get deffensive, I'm not saying if you have one of the big guys that youre over doing it. I dont know. Could be that they are naturally big. But I'm just saying is all.
I just think personally, Id rather listen to the screeching bark and beg for what I have and limit him to his dog food and dog treats and keep him in better health longer.
Not trying to start a ruckus, just concerned about the people food thing after what my vet said..... |
