Don't ever start giving people food from the table during dinner or you will create a monster-every meal time will have the dog sitting there looking at you. If you never start, it won't be an issue. That said, I do give my dogs people food occasionally, but I have read that it makes them fat and shortens their life. Too rich of foods like Turkey skin can even cause Pancreatitis-a potentially fatal condition. I try to only feed them high quality dog food and dog treats, with only an occasional treat of people food-and not from the dinner table! |
