As a parent of a dog, you must be wondering what food you should give to your dog. Of course, we always want to share our delicious food with our four-footers.
Sharing food with your loved ones is often seen as an act of love. Pets will tell us they like our delicious food from their adorable eyes.
But as we know, many human food or ingredients are toxic to pets, and those can put our furry friends in danger. So how do you know which food is safe for your pets? There is a lot of information regarding what is safe and what is not on Animal Poison Control Center
Foods That Can Be Shared With Your Dogs
Vegetables
Veggies such as carrots, celery, broccoli, green beans, cauliflower, or cooked (canned) pumpkin are good options for your pets. Vegetables are low in calories & Carbs. Let's cut it into small bite sizes to avoid choking. Those can be served either raw or cooked, but we should avoid any seasoning if serving cooked.
Fruit
Apples, bananas, cucumbers, pineapple, cantaloupe, blueberries, strawberries, and kiwi are safe for your furry friend. Like vegetables, it is advisable to cut fruits in small bites and remove all the seeds, cores, peels & stems. It will be great for a fabulous summer trip if we add Cucumber to the pet's water or make a fruit smoothie.
Peanut butter
Many pets love peanut Butter. It is safe as it does not contain added xylitol, salt, or sugar. Xylitol is an artificial sweetener that is highly toxic for dogs. It is highly recommended that you read the ingredients before giving peanut butter to your dogs. Just remember that peanut butter has high calories, so don't overdo it!
Popcorn
Popcorn is favorite for all most everybody, including humans & pets. Air-popped popcorn is a healthy choice for you and your pets and avoids excessive amounts of salt & fat.
Cheese
Cheese can be the perfect treat for your pet. It is excellent to share your string cheese with your pets. Like regular cheese, cottage cheese is another dog's favorite. It is full of calcium & Protein and can be mixed easily with any food for extra nutrition.
Yogurt
Another safe human food for a dog is Yogurt, but it should be plain (unsweetened). Additionally, the bacteria in Yogurt make it good for your dog's digestion. Greek Yogurt is typically the best choice for dogs as t has less lactose than regular Yogurt.
Eggs
An egg is something that you can share with your pets. Eggs are high in Protein and can digest quickly. However, it has high fat, so we should try to keep it minimum.
Rice
Either brown rice or white rice are both healthy choices for your pets. It can be mixed with any food or can relieve an upset stomach. Cooked rice and boiled chicken are excellent options for your dog's digestion issues.
Pasta
Plain pasta is definitely safe for your dog. Stuffed pasta may be suitable for your dog, but make sure you don't add any seasonings or pasta with onion and garlic, as both are toxic and unsafe for the dog.
Bread
Dogs can have an on-occasion treat of cooked bread, but it should be served only on a special occasions or not raw.
The Bottom Line
While all these human foods are safe for your dog, remember that nothing excess is good. The most crucial nutrition for your dog is to get it in the pet food which the dog's vet suggests. It is good to give your dog a little "Treat" of human food but remember that too much can lead your dog to be overweight.
This on-line company is such a good find. They provide quality products at a good price with delivering them efficiently. Definitely recommend purchasing from them.
Two sweet girlies decided to make our deck their home. Mosquitoes are a big problem where we live and we had to get them protected. This was the best bang for the buck. I’ve ordered from 79Pets several times and while delivery is not fast it is very consistent.
As a retired veterinary technician I was extremely happy to finally see a flea and heartworm medication that actually does tapeworms too!!!!!!! This is a 1st to my knowledge....I live in a tropical climate where fleas never die so this is heaven sent.
Great price, authentic quality and reliable shipping. Shipping takes a bit longer, since it is being shipped from abroad. But still a reliable service.
After Seresto collars failed to get rid of fleas, I didn't know where to turn. I saw a post on a page I follow (Kentucky Kitty Cats) saying that they use Nexgard Combo for the cats they shelter. I decided to try it and IT WORKS!
This is Lexi Marie! She was wondering why mom was so excited for buying flea medicine. I explained to her that we saved $100 and that she would understand some day when she grows up.
Last year, I made a visit to the vet. I told them that Kattie/cat had ear mites. They gave me an ointment costing $80canadian. I used it up and purchased another bottle. $160. total not including the cost of the vet visit. No results. The ear mites have been there for a long time. Canadian vets have control of what is sold in Pet stores and you cannot purchase off the shelf products not recognized by them.
I jumped at the chance to purchase your produce with a recommended 100% effectivity. I was willing to try, but was suspicions.
After a month there was still a little scratching but after 6 weeks, the mites are gone and the scratching is gone.
Thank you very much for this mite solution. I recommend it heartily. Harry
P.S. Do not tell the Canadian vets as they will outlaw your product.
En fait, c'est le seul produit dont mon chat "Winston" ne soufre pas de problèmes cutané et perte de poils, le "Révolution plus" fait très bien le travail, merci.
