Yes, I do feed my Bailey cooked and cut up carrots, a bit of juice from the tuna can occasionally, bit of cooked egg, occasionally peanut butter and some brown rice. He also loves his apples, so when I eat one we sit on the couch and I give him little bits to chew. In any case, please make sure that what ever you are feeding yours is in tiny pieces, as they may choke, as well some foods are not totally digested and have to pass through the stomache/intestines and hence, you want it to pass with ease and not get stuck = discomfort for your dog and unnecessary vet bills.
Personally, I don't like any animal watching me or whining/begging for food while I'm eating, so when I feed him people food, accept for the apple, I only do it after I am finished my meal and tell him to go to his bowl and put the food in his bowl.
If you don't mind yours sitting and begging for food at the table, then by all means do so. Again, it's just not my thing. As well, not always does he get something from my dinner, it's usually the exception rather than the rule.
It is best to be consistent with any rule that you make for your YTer, or else they get so confused, so choose carefully. Also, please keep in mind that not all visitors you may have like dogs around the dinner table.
It's your house and your rules in the end. Good luck! |
