Table feeding

[diva pup]

I agree with Snow Wa. i have always given my dogs table food. Not scraps, if I won't eat it neither will they. So no fat,gristle or any of that. But any meat,vegetable,fruit I am eating I will give them too.
My vet said that is fine if not in excess and it isn't junk.

My friend feeds a holistic diet to her dogs and it consists of bison/beef (ground), oatmeal, a vegetable and a vitamin mix. Her dogs live very long lives and they are all in fantastic shape. She credits this diet for extending the life of a dog with inoperable cancer for 3 yrs!! Sounds pretty much like table food to me.

Mine eat chicken, other meats, vegetables, rice, vegetables, eggs, cheese, and many other leftovers from my meals.

I don't give my dogs much junk food. They may get 1/2 a potato chip or a bite of a cookie, etc. Foods that aren't especially good or nutritious for us aren't good for our pets either.

My dogs get dog food every morning....in the evening, I tend to feed them other things....but make it healthy food.

I live alone and occasionally I buy a roasted chicken (too much chicken for me), so we all eat it for a few days.

Healthy leftovers are fine.
