I feed my dog everything I eat, but the vet said that was extremely unhealthy…so I’d call your local vet and get some free advice.

pretty much anything you want to. Do not feed dog chocolate as choc. can be fatal to a dog. onions and tomatoes are not good as they do something to the digestional track. i feed mine raw meat along with veggies. They love lunch meat, and hotdogs.

Nothing will compare to dog treats, but my puppy likes brocolli from Applebees. They taste GROSS to me, so I don’t mind my dog eating it. Plus, it’s healthy right? Brocolli. haha. but after reading the person above, I’m a little worried. My dog seems fine. She loves her brocolli.

Before you give your pet ANY vegetables please check with your pet poison control. Log on to any pet protection sites like ASPCA, HSUS. Some Veggies like onions and broccoli can be very bad. I recently found out grapes can kill dogs. When I’m training I buy beef liver or roast and have it cut up for jerky. I buy meat that on sale, you know that is almost expired, but not quite! I cook my own jerky in a food dehydrator using NO spices or preservatives. When it is cooked I freeze it. It is great for treats when training. The liver is very good for them, and I haven’t met a dog yet that will turn it down. I also use it for treats in my grooming shop. I also use sardines! (If you can stand the smell while it’s cooking) That is the best thing in the world for your dogs coat and skin. A Sardine a day for dogs will clear up almost any skin condition there is, unless it’s Staff or bacterical or fungal infection. Then you need medication of course. If you can’t stand the smell you can purchase capsules at your Vet. They are Omega fatty acid capsuls. They come under various names but are all the same. Sixty which is a two month supply is only about twelve dollars and does almost as good as the Sardines. If your dog won’t chew it up, the first time or two, punch a hole in it with a pin and squeeze the oil into their mouths. After that most are happy to bite into them. I can shake my bottle and my dogs come out of the woodwork. They love them. Hot dogs can be dehydrated the same way, (be sure to slice them VERY thin),but they are loaded with too much salt and preservatives so use hot dogs sparingly. You can purchase a food dehydrator at Wal-Mart for very little money. Hey, you can even make Jerky for yourself they have great recipes for humans. Yum.

I use liverworst, first of all because its gross and I will never eat it myself and second of all dogs love it. Its better to use something in training situations that you don´t eat yourself because it will encourage your dog to beg if you use something you enjoy eating. The best way to give a special treat like groundbeef or veggies, is to always serve it in their own food dish, this way they learn that its only acceptable to eat the food in their own dish, and not from your dish. It helps set the pack order.
