Dogs do plenty for their humans, but the best part of owning a dog is the assistance you get for after-dinner cleanup and toddler feeding time. Life without a dog tends to be much more sticky. Sure, there is more to vacuum, but food messes are a thing of the past.
Be aware your living floor cleaner can’t partake in all that may fall off the table. You could be hounded by the veterinarian about letting your dog eat people food. Since the list of things you aren’t supposed to feed your canine companions is so extensive, let’s review a few you ARE allowed to feed them.
Human Foods That Your Vet Won’t Object to Feeding Your Dog
Apples have fiber, good crunch, and even help with bad breath. Remember to core and remove the seeds.
Fresh berries are fine, but don’t overdo it. Try fresh frozen berries as a nice summertime treat.
Careful the kids don’t know the dog can eat broccoli. You may find your kids mysteriously begin clearing their plates.
Cooked corn on the cob has fiber and carbs that pups will love. Just make sure Fido doesn’t try to inhale the cob after the kernels are gone.
Eggs are awesome for your dog when cooked without added flavoring. There’s no guarantee about gaseous emissions later, though.
Leafy greens are great for dogs. Maybe take some garnishes from the buffet on your next trip out for lunch.
Movie nights are better when enjoyed with friends. Your dog is welcome to share some unsalted popcorn delight with you.
Peel a spud, cook it, and let your pooch enjoy potatoes along with the family.
Pumpkin is fine raw or cooked, just without seeds.
A special treat is either raw or cooked tomatoes. Snack away!
Cook a zucchini and let your friend in on the treat. It’s a great way to get rid of excess produce after Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor’s Porch Day.
