I had such a bad experience with our poodle getting table food (from my grandparents when we lived next door to them and they "puppysat" every day) which caused him to be overweight until we moved away and to have really terrible teeth issues that I swore to never give another dog table food. In order to keep Tatum from ever learning to beg at the table, we've really stuck to that strategy. She has even sat on my lap while I was eating and never even tried to get at the tabletop. I know that certain things are healthy but I don't want the begging thing to start. That said, the one thing Tatum does get is a tiny bit of sliced cheese when she has to take a pill (like her heartworm/flea pill). The only downside there is that she can hear a piece of cheese being unwrapped from across the house! So far the "only dog food approach" has worked well for us.

Nolee loves cheese. All kinds! He will not eat anything sweet! Funny how all yorkies are soo different!

My boys love pizza crust, carrots, pickles, air popped popcorn (but only with a bit of butter), watermelon, frozen peas, apples.... pretty much anything actually. They don't get much from me at all. After a bout of diarrhea with each of them in the last month they have not had ANY human food.

cherrios and chips

yorkieusa · 06-23-2008, 12:45 PM

Carrots, watermelon, and cheese. The little bit of cheese is still a reward for pottying!

Scooter loves cheerios and bananas also. And cantaloupe. But there's not much that he won't eat.

I don't give Itsy any "people" food. My boyfriend and I always eat our dinner in front of the TV (we don't actually own a dinner table

) with her on the couch with us and I don't want her to get in the habit of expecting tidbits and jumping all over me while I'm trying to eat. Since I've never given her any bites of my food, she doesn't beg for it, and I want to keep it that way!

Ashley V · 06-23-2008, 02:42 PM

My two like potato chips, popcorn, chicken, peanut butter, and cottage cheese. They don't get this stuff very often though.

cataholic · 06-23-2008, 04:16 PM

Yogurt, green beans, popcorn, cereal, peanut butter, chicken, hamburger, peas, chips, cheese, pizza crust. Pretty much anything we eat that is not harmful to them.

MyPeanutAbbyGra · 06-23-2008, 04:26 PM

What I read, here on Y.T. concerning tomatoes is that it's the tomatoe plant that is bad for dogs, not the actual tomatoe. Don't take my word for it though! Really, I just remember reading that at one time.

Abby and Daisy love DQ vanilla ice cream, cheese, cottage cheese, plain yogurt, green beans, sweet potatoes and they love peanuts, but I just read on the dangerous foods list that their little bodies can't process them due to high phophorus content!

No more peanuts for them!

Joshua enjoys eating his dog food. I try to offer him health snacks. He loves to eat strawberries, apples, tomatoes, turkey, cantaloupe, carrots, green beans, and watermelon. Now and then, I give him hamburger meat (bite size). He will do anything for hamburger meat. I used hamburger meat to train him to leap on the couch.

Isabella Rose · 06-23-2008, 06:40 PM

At the tender age of 4mo. Isabella will eat anything I eat. So far cheese seems to be her favorite but she has sampled burgers, chicken shish kabobs, turkey bacon and microwaved/dried hotdogs...Thanks for the ideas though, gonna go get some mini carrots tomorrow!!

PrincessLacey · 06-23-2008, 06:54 PM

Lacey loves baby carrots and apples. We cut them into small pieces and keep them in a baggie in the fridge.
