do you feed your baby tablefood - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I will occasionally put a baby spoon of cottage cheese or vanilla yobaby yogurt in his dry food for extra calcium for bone health and to help his ears stronger, maybe once a week. I will also give him a small bite of a fruit such as apple, banana or watermelon, but very little. I don't give him any meat, since he had an allergic reaction to boiled chicken, so no meat here at all. Mostly the only extras he gets are natural organic dog treats, and I read the entire labels to make sure of what is in them, and that they are USA made :-)

Exactly the same thing with Jasper. He doesn't get table scraps and is crated while we eat our meals, too,

Not much, but occasionally I will share a bite of peeled apple or piece of plain popcorn. Cheese has been used to get a pill down a couple of times, and I did make a miniature veggie omelet (one egg) as a treat for my two to share once. Anything I offer is away from the kitchen (pups underfoot near the stove can be bad) and never as a replacement for a balanced good quality food.

How funny, because my grandma had a dog that lived 19 years and she got up every Sunday morning to make breakfast for us, and the dog. He got 2 fried eggs, bacon and toast. Every Sunday morning.

Samson occasionally gets a blueberry or small piece of meat....nothing other than that

I have to say the we give our dogs table food as well as dog food. I know it's wrong but I can't stand watching them beg with their sad faces. Our Basset Hounds acually drool when they see us eating

Jess LOVES food. She gets a lot of mini carrots, apples, mango, occasional egg, a little bit of meat when we have a roast. She loves little bits of pasta and when I make chicken soup I make sure I boil a breast for her and she gets it over a week. Usually she has kibble morning and night too. Last night as a treat I gave her chicken and pasta for dinner. I gave her a whole bowl full figuring "that will fill her up" nope. She looked at me like "that's all I get"?
I worry she is going to get fat but she is 7lbs and holding. Shes mostly an inside dog but our house is big so just going up the stairs all day long and playing with the girls seems to be enough exercise. When we got her she was 5.5lb but the vet thought she was too thin, so did we.
