The term "people food" can mean many different things to many different people. Depends on what the person eats. If you are mostly a fast food eater, then definitely no, don't give people food. But if you eat healthy whole foods, why not give people food?

I stick with a rule of thumb, no processed foods or high fat foods. And of course, none of the poisonous to dogs foods. Which brings me back to the garlic. I have also read that garlic is no good for dogs, yet I remember an episode of Victoria Stilwell's show about making dog treats and home and she put in a huge handful of garlic! What gives? So personally I don't give it bc I'm not sure. But then again I have also heard conflicting reports about avocado. I tend to think it's the skin and/or seed that has the toxins bc I have been giving small amounts of avocado flesh to mine for a long time now and no ill effects, not even soft poo.
