I don't give my dog's people food and do not allow it, but I know for a fact that my mother and sister both sneak giving it to them. I tell them not to, but they do it anyway haha. It's not a huge deal, my dog's stomachs can handle it and don't get the runs or anything from it. Every dog is different and some have more sensitive stomach's than others.

My mom and aunt are horrible about giving their dogs people food. I have to tell them no every single time. Bode does has a sensitive stomach, but I'm more concerned about him begging a lot if he thinks he gets people food.

We used to give Fargo left over green beans and broccoli from the table and sometimes beef juice but I wished we hadn't. Lola only gets carrots as treats plus pumpkin and yogurt in her kongs. She doesn't beg which is so nice! Fargo would pester us when we were eating and he could be way too convincing! Of course Fargo had an iron stomach and Lola has a sensitive one.

The only people food Freya gets is the stuff she steals when she's counter surfing.

I dont consider Natural yoghurt people food as I only buy it for Ferya's kongs, and the people living in the house ie. myself and my kids, kinow it as Fre's Yoghurt.

Human food upsets Freya's tummy and I think it's bad manners for her to beg while we're eating.

We started out not giving Ezio any sort of people food trying to keep him from becoming a beggar, but he's just so cute we couldn't help trying a few things. He has a sensitive stomach so he can't get just anything, but a little piece of pizza crust has been okay. And for some reason he can eat a whole, plain hamburger and he's just fine. Other than that we don't give him much of anything. Treats are just that, treats. You don't need to feed your dog much (or any) people food. They're just as happy with the occasional doggie treat.

My MIL and her family feed people food to their dogs as MAIN food sources. It doesn't matter what they're having for dinner, their dogs have the same thing. Spaghetti, steak, pizza. And her dogs are fat. And mean. Ugh. Moral of the story is moderation!

Stephanie, your dog is not deprived just because you limit the people food that your dog gets. To be honest, most dogs eat far too much unhealthy people food and their health suffers as a result.

I give my dogs people food on occasion, but I really limit what they can have. I try to limit the people food to meats mainly (boneless & without seasoning of course) and I feed them after I eat and away from the table so that they do not learn to beg while we are eating.

I never give Lycus people food either but my dad will sneak in breads to him too lol. I always tell them absolutely no bones though. Although, if I'm around, I just won't let them feed him people food anyways.

Bodhi never gets bread.
Sometimes we give him carrots or apple slices, and if we are grilling salmon, he gets the skin.
That's it.

Once I gave our bunny a baby carrot and tried to give Ezio one too. He gnawed on it for like an hour and was unable to actually eat any of it. Razz

I almost never feed my dogs people food, and when I do, they never see it come off my plate.
That being said, I only feed them raw salmon, or cooked bacon, and never while I'm actually eating my food.

However, I do love my dogs, and will give all 6 a slice of bacon, when I was only planning on cooking 4 slices for myself

And, when I fish for Salmon, the first 2 have always been for the dogs, granted they get their salmon live.

This reminds me, I gave all 3 of mine cooked prime rib last night from my dinner. Faith refused to eat it...I swear that creature is seriously not a dog, my other 2 went bonkers for it. What dog turns down a juicy cooked prime rib?! Suspect

I give my dogs people food, but I use it as training - Cato's free baiting is impeccable because of it. I don't give them cookies or anything, but apples, the occasional potato chip, broccoli, lots of cucumbers.

Mine eat raw anyway, so I don't worry about an upset tummy. I just don't give chocolate, onions or grapes.

I remember as a young kid, before knowing that dogs couldn't have chocolate, I fed half of a costco chocolate and chocolate chip muffin to my chihuahua.

Nothing happened. At all.

The Gus Bus was full of surprises like that, though.

11lbs when he should have been 9lb, ate human food always, had virtually no knees and never stopped running like he was a puppy ttill the day he ate himself to death on a stolen pizza...

I know. To this day I don't talk to my mother because she destroys living things.
He died when I was 11, I believe.

Baby carrots are Bode's favorite snack. He goes nuts for them. I don't consider them people food though, since we've treated them as treats from the beginning.

My hubby feeds Karli from the table and it drives me nuts. I keep telling him not to, but he does it behind my back. She does get the occasional people food, like any leftover meat we have, but I never wanted it to be from the table. He just doesn't listen to me when I tell him not to. Then he wanders why she follows him around the house when he has food.

Too lazy to read replies.

I share probably a little of my food with my dogs every meal or snack(as does my husband and when we are back home at my mom's, grandma spoils them too but knows what is okay and what isn't- my mom made Rogue her own PB and banana sandwich with dog biscuits when she made her sandwich!). But I eat clean, so it's always a fruit, veggie, or a lean meat if I didn't season it with anything that could hurt them. My dogs don't beg for or expect it, and know they do not touch food unless it is handed to the,. Whenever I eat my Greek yogurt or cottage cheese, the dogs always get the clean the container out.. Haha. Rogue gets people food more often as she doesn't leave my side.

I never feed them from a table so they dont beg, but they do lay under it waiting for things to fall.
I only give S&J raw things, fruits, veggies, chicken never anything processed or cooked. In the summer when I made salad almost everynight they had one to. I alos let them lick my greek yogure and cottage cheese containes clean and only feed natural peanut butter to get sierra to take her pills.
Its up to you want you want to give but I want to keep my 2 around for as long as I can so no fatty bad for ou human food, and that's easy cause I don't keep any of that crap in the house!

The 3 humans, 6 dogs, and 2 cats in this house eat healthy, except Bacon. We tried turkey bacon, but not even Mixie, the Lab, really wanted it. It is our only weakness.
