So now after dealing with a dog daily that is so sensitive, everything about food is concerning. And I see people here on YT who feed everything from dog food that is entirely too high in fat to meat from the stove that is full of grease to lunch meat. To each their own. However, I used to do the same and then one day my dog couldn't take it anymore. So yes, now while I wouldn't stress over a healthy dog getting a bit of something they shouldn't, I will always take an interest and be concerned if I know they have had something that they shouldn't.
IMO, hate is a very strong word.
Both boiled and scrambled eggs are fine. Too much yolk can be a bad thing. It should be mixed with a carbohydrate and the milk should be left out. |
I'd add seizures to that list, too. After my now 15 yr old IG started having seizures, I became obsessed with what she couldn't eat. I read labels of everything, even people food. No ethoxyquin, BHA or BHT. And there are people foods with BHA and BHT, like pepperoni, (which my dogs love) but ethoxyquin has been banned for use in people food (but its still allowed in pet foods).
I basically follow the principal that if a food is heart healthy for people, it is probably okay for my dogs. I treat them to all kinds of fruit and vegetables.
Lower quality foods may be fine for dogs, and you may not have any problems, but what about long-term?
