Answer 2

As long as you are always sure to present it as a treat or his food in his bowl, he won't learn to beg. It's a learned behavior that only happens after the dog is fed from the table.

For a treat, my dog gets turkey hot dogs cut up into very small pieces sprinkled with garlic powder, then microwaved. Garlic in large amounts (a whole clove or two) can be dangerous for dogs, but a small amount like this is fine and dogs love it. I also buy turkey - a thick slab from the grocer - and cut it up for treats, as well as low-fat string cheese.

Many dogs love carrots, apples, pumpkin (my dog pulls them out of the pumpkin patch in our backyard and chews on them), and tomatoes - be careful with tomatoes, though, they must be ripe. Green ones can be dangerous.

Meats you feed them should be raw or boiled and as unprocessed as possible. While our stomachs aren't equipped to handle raw chicken, for example, a dog's stomach is, and that is in fact the natural way for them to eat meat (think about it - do they have stoves in the wild?). Chicken necks are a great treat as well.

Off topic, if you do give him marrow bones make sure they are raw, as frozen or cooked ones can splinter more easily and damage his mouth, throat, and stomach.

Treats I shouldn't give my dog but do because he loves them are pizza crusts, meatballs, leftover sauces, and the ice cream container to lick any remnants out of (just not chocolate). Treats he's helped himself to when I wasn't looking include a pan of cooked hamburger, Spaghetti-Os, steak, an entire BLT, an entire hamburger, beer, enough chocolate that he should be dead, and a whole cooked salmon.

Answer 3

These are the human food i feed my dog

1)Cheese
2)Ham
3)Baloney
4)Hot Dog Slices

Here's a recipe for dog treats:

First you cut a hot dog into slices then you put the slices on a plate put it in the microwave for 4 minutes
when the 4 minutes is up leave the slices in the microwave to let them cool down when you bring the slices out of the microwave you put the slices in a little bag and put them in the fridge.

IMPORTANT!!:
The slices will start to smell like their burning they are but, that's how it works. Just leave them in there.

Answer 4

if you are looking for some foods that are safe to feed your dog, the best is boiled chicken and bland rice. You can also boil carrots. Just make sure you dont put any seasoning on any people food you feed the dog, it could upset his/her stomach!

Answer 5

a few slices of apple or a few raw baby carrots occasionally (both great sources of fiber and vitamins). They think the greatest treat in the world is pizza crust, which they get about once every other week.

Oh my, don't ever give a doberman bananas................. you will need to open all windows and vacate the house. WOW

Answer 6

Answer 9

"Once a moocher, always a moocher." Once you reward begging behavior with table scraps or something off your plate, you can expect to see the same hopeful eyes looking up at you every meal from that day forward. That is fine if you do not mind your pet disrupting your dinner (i.e., whimpering, panting, staring up at you with pitiful eyes...). If you do mind, you will have a hard time training your pet to stay out of the room now that it knows she just might get a handout. I can vouch for this.

Here are some reasons to not feed table scraps/people food:

1. They are the quickest route to weight problems: Many times scraps are nothing more than empty calories. Overweight pets, besides not looking their best, have a higher risk of many health problems.

2. Table scraps do not offer the nutrition pets need: The more you fill your pet up with your food the less likely they are to eat their own. And since our nutritional needs are not the same as our pets', your pet will get less of the vitamins, amino acids, and minerals it needs and probably more of those it does not need.

3. Table scraps are a leading cause of digestive disorders: The rich foods we eat can wreak havoc on your pet's digestive tract. A simple, consistent diet keeps their system functioning as it should. Throw in your very different foods and spices and do not be surprised if your pet has bad gas, bad breath, loose stools, etc. In addition, the high-fat treats can lead to pancreatic disorders/failure!

4. You could end up with a finicky eater: If your pet develops a taste for your food, it may stop eating his own. After all, which would you prefer, dry cat food or juicy steak and hamburger every night? (my dog MAGGIE is very picky when it comes to eating. Last year, we would in bed during the middle of the night for me to WAKE up to maggie's belly growling. I would attempt to force feed her, which usually she cooperated after an hour or so and would eat on her own. Now, though, not only does she guard her food bowl, she eats enough every day! i'm so proud of her.)

5. Treats are a better choice: A cat or dog treat gives you and your pet the same satisfaction as giving or receiving a table scrap. It promotes that special bond between you and your oet, it gives your pet a new, delicious taste to savor, and it makes both of you feel good. Quality pet treats are usually more nutritious and tend to have far fewer calories than most table scraps. There are other benefits, too, depending on the type of treat you buy. Hard treats are good for your pet's teeth as they help scrape off plaque and tartar that can cause dental problems. Many cat treats have added vitamins and nutrients, like taurine, which they do not get from table scraps. Treats also do not encourage bad behavior. In fact, it is usually the opposite. Treats can be used during training to reward good behavior, but be careful not to overdo it.

RULES ABOUT TREATS: As with anything in life, treats should be used in moderation. Too many treats can add weight and affect your pet's meals. As a rule, treats should never account for more than 10% of your pet's food intake. Your pet's food is her sole source for the nutrition she needs, so do not 'fill' your pet up on treats before meal time. Remember, no chocolate, no bones that splinter easily, and no high-fat, greasy foods.
