My dogs - (14 week Yorkie - and 4-year-old Bichon) eat dry Iams (small pieces) and human safe food.
Not to worry - I have gone over this in detail with my Vet. My dogs eat chicken, meat, cheese, cottage cheese, brocolli, salad, rice, eggs, vegetables, love carrots, and many other foods that I eat.
They are not allowed junk food. They do not get fried foods, potato chips, cookies, candy or anything like that. They no salt or pepper added to their food.
The get a varied diet - not a lot of any one food and very little of some - but a wide variety of different foods.
Their dry Iams is out all day (they do eat a bowl ever couple days). They are fed their other food in the evening - sometimes twice a day, but it is not left out.
Works for us. I hate dealing with canned food. My dogs just don't like it and most of it is usually thrown away.
One bonus is that I eat a better diet myself because my dogs eat a lot of the same foods that I eat.
Neither is overweight, and they are both very active, happy, and healthy.
