no I dont ,but my kids sure do..... |
I love my fur babies just as much as the next guy, but I would definatly not allow them to eat off my plate either while I'm eating, (yuck ) or when I'm done eating. They have their own plates. |
I would never let the dogs eat off my plate while I'm eating or even when I'm finished. I don't like a begging dog one bit, and this will only cause them to beg at the table. I home cook for my dogs, but they eat differently than we do, AND they have their own bowls. ;) |
I wouldn't teach them that. It's bad doggie manners IMO and could be dangerous. Dogs can't have everything humans can and what if my head was turned then one of my dogs snuck a bite off of my plate and it was an onion or a grape? I probably would be a little disturbed too BUT I see your point that your dog lives there and your friend doesn't. |
I don't let Sapphire eat off of my plate. Not for sanitary reasons, though. That I could care less about. :rolleyes: I share some food with her, but not off my plate. |
I do not let my babies eat off my plate. i dont even let them eat while i am eating. They patiently nap on a rug or their beds until i am finished . Then they get excited to eat from their own bowls. I taught them this so they know their place in our "pack". They dont mind at all and I am happy they dont beg for food while I eat. It is totally annoying to me to have a pet begging for food while we eat. just my opinion...I love them dearly but must have boundaries.:aimeeyork |
I save some of my food that I cook...I bake everything ,So it's not greasy!! I feed it to them with my fingers or on my fork when I'm done eating. :D:aimeeyork:animal36 |
After we are done eating they may get some leftovers depending on what was made, but I wouldn't let them eat from my plate while I was eating dinner. They have their dinnerware and I have mine :) |
I don't let my babies eat off my plate but I do give them tidbits off of it if it is something they are allowed. I make them sit nicely or they don't get any. However, my husband will actually feed them off his fork or spoon and that is up to him. He calls me "finicky". I won't even drink after another human. I do let them lick my face all over though so I guess that shouldn't be any different than eating after them, LOL. |

:eek:NO, I totally agree with you, I have my plate and my baby has his bowl. I also can't stand a begging dog and I would think if they could eat off your plate they would be standing their begging. I also only give my boy veggies and chicken with rice every now and then. Then again I don't eat after anyone NOPE not me... :D |
I don't intentionally allow Finnigan to eat table food, now when it falls on the floor, there's no stopping him its gone before it hits the ground sometimes. I don't let Finnigan eat off my plate, never will. I'm not sure why b/c I let him lick my face and hands, so its not really a sanitary thing (well he doesn't lick in my mouth and I wash my hands before eating so maybe it is). I just don't want him begging while we're eating. He can lay on my lap as I eat, but I don't want his paws on the table. |
i find that absolutely disgusting not to mention totally inappropriate. my yorkie is totally spoiled but she is not allowed to beg at the table for food. its rude and bad doggie manners. this bad behavior can lead to other bad behaviors. sanitary reasons are also a factor here. do you know where your dogs tongue has been? i don't know about your dog but mine licks the floor, her butt, her cooch, and basically anything else she finds palatable. i have found her picking up stray pieces of kitty litter the cat left behind, i've seen her eatting rabbit poop, sticks, leaves, etc.. in the yard. why would i want that same mouth eatting off my plate and spreading germs? to each their own, but if i were your visitor i would have excused myself before you had a chance to ask me to leave. |

I completely agree. Dogs are dogs and should be treated as such. I think that most of the problems dogs have develop as a result of being treated too 'human'. I used to let my ex-boyfriend's mother look after Cash on some weekends (she used to breed with yorkies), but he learned such terrible manners! I stopped taking him there when I saw them feeding him off their plates (almost out of their mouths) during a meal. It has taken me a year to teach him not to beg (I ask him very nicely if he wants to go out - not the same as ordering him to go out of the room, but the warning works very well). Each to his own, definitely, but a dog should be treated as a dog.:) |
