That cracks me up!

Thanks for sharing Nancy. It was nice to see this list. I have been using some but this gives me a few more ideas. We are running into motivational problems with my little couch potato. I don't personally each fish very often so don't think about it much. But I think a nice salmon may be just the ticket. I need something with a strong smell so his nose will get his butt in gear

This is great! Thanks! Also takes some of the people food guilt out of Cali's diet. She loves most of those foods listed.
Really good post.

Thanks for posting this! Great information. I used to have a podle that ate ALL of these things. He was such a health nut..LOL Peanut is quite finicky. Wonder if I could put some of these in the food processor and use it as a mushy treat??? That wouldn't take away from the vitamins and minerals/nutirents in the foods, would it? Would only be if it was cooked?? Or would it matter if it was cooked????
They love yogurt, cottage cheese and salmon (yep cooked). Love eggs. But the fruit and some of the verggies, no way. No green beans, no apple, pineapple, etc...

So funny about your poodle, he was a little Jack LaLanne! I do think some creatures just “know” what they should be eating. I don't think you really need to supplement your dog’s diet if your dog is getting a good dog food because dog foods have to be nutritionally balanced. I believe that giving our dogs human food is probably more of a human need than canine need. Humans love to share food with those they love. So if you are ever eating one of these foods, it’s okay to share it with you dog, it won’t hurt your dog at all, and all these foods are good for you too! You asked about cooking, actually cooking helps some of the vitamins become available. Steaming or microwaving lightly is good, just don’t overcook most of the vitamins are left in the water.
