When growing up, I remember almost everyone I knew who had dogs fed human foods and also dog foods. It was in Japan. Since I came to the US, I kinda realized the benefits on giving ONLY dog foods.

I mean.. if I think of it, I think giving human food could also influence your displine toward your dog. The fact is that you might give up if the dog looks at you.. or they might become agreesive to get the food from your table.. it will be hard to train the dog if you feed house food.. That is just my opinion.

I know for sure that I will give only dog food... and.. cheerio (thanks to Stacy).. instead of treats from pet stores.. I think once awhile is good to give treats... but I have to think if it is really gonna be good for the dog. Treats are everywhere at pet stores.. and it sounds like good stuff for the dogs.. but... is it really! That is the question that owners have to think.. before feeding them...

I mean.. I didn't know that you cannot give chocolates to dogs until I came to YT... I don't think I have ever fed chocolates to my dogs before back home.. I am sure a lot of people do that. Feeding dog food seem to be safe to me.
