Would only be if it was cooked?? Or would it matter if it was cooked????
They love yogurt, cottage cheese and salmon (yep cooked). Love eggs. But the fruit and some of the verggies, no way. No green beans, no apple, pineapple, etc...
So funny about your poodle, he was a little Jack LaLanne! I do think some creatures just “know” what they should be eating. I don't think you really need to supplement your dog’s diet if your dog is getting a good dog food because dog foods have to be nutritionally balanced. I believe that giving our dogs human food is probably more of a human need than canine need. Humans love to share food with those they love. So if you are ever eating one of these foods, it’s okay to share it with you dog, it won’t hurt your dog at all, and all these foods are good for you too! You asked about cooking, actually cooking helps some of the vitamins become available. Steaming or microwaving lightly is good, just don’t overcook most of the vitamins are left in the water.
