There is a well-known fact about our loving pups: they are excellent beggars—especially when it comes to our food! It’s not like we want to harm our dogs in any way by feeding table scraps, but those begging eyes are too hard to say no to.
It might start off innocent: we slip them a few treats off our plate on the 4th of July family BBQ (because they are part of the family, so they should be enjoying some tasty BBQ too…right?)… then we slip a little more when they are well-behaved during an event, and soon we find ourselves sharing all of our meals with our pups on a daily!
Stopping this behavior can be difficult. Your pup found your kryptonite when it comes to getting human food—it’s all in the puppy eyes. So the real question is, how harmful is human food for your dog?
This week for Friday’s Q&A with Dr. Quest, we get to go over table scraps for your dog, and food dogs should avoid.
