I didn't say my vet said she feeds her dog fried foods. She just told me she shares little bits of a lot of stuff with her dogs and doesn't worry about it. If I'm eating pizza, I share a little bit of crust with Jackson (and skip the cheese, sauce, etc). I'm talking like a thumbnail size of crust. If I'm eating a chicken nugget, I'll take a bite into it and he can share a tiny piece of the white meat with me. If I'm eating a steak cooked on the grill, he can have a little bite. It's meat. Beef, chicken, etc, is all in dog food in one form or another. It's not like we're eating like this every day or I'm feeding him plate fulls. I would be a paranoid freak if I knew one tiny piece of meat would set him off though
That really sucks.
He's a food freak (and has been since he was a puppy, before he even got anything off my plate) and will grab whatever is on the ground very quickly. Living with children made not feeding him any "people food" extremely difficult but I think there's plenty of good people food they can share. "Table scraps" has kind of become a dirty word in the dog world, but I think people forget dogs used to eat this stuff all the time, not to mention people that homecook for their dogs are using "people food".
My family has just always been the type to feed their dogs from the table, and it does make a begger which can be very annoying. My sister was an infant when I got him, and my brother was 4ish. Things drop. I'm very diligent about it though, my dad knows I'll whoop his butt if he feeds him anything he's not supposed to have. His dogs eat everything under the sun and it makes me so mad
I tell him that Jax won't know the difference if you're giving him a tiny piece of crust or a piece of meat, he just swallows it whole anyway.
I should mention Jackson is a good solid 17lbs or so. A tiny bite to him could be a big bite to a dog 7lbs and under.
