can dogs eat human food?

Answer 1

Yes, as long as it's healthy food. no sugar or salt. No chocolate or onions. Chicken, beef, a carrot or rice are all great stuff for dogs.

Answer 2

Dogs can't eat everything we can. I remember when I had a dog, she had no problem eating scraps of meat. My friend's dog on the other hand kept vomiting after some kid fed the dog a swedish fish. If it's something like a burger patty, I'm sure the dog would be fine as long as there aren't small bones or things of that sort which could damage the dog's gastrointestinal system. I'm not too sure about fruits and veggies though; dogs have different enzymes in their stomachs than us humans.

Answer 3

Dogs are from a scavanger and predator lineage. If they are strays they eat carcasses, garbage and those are the nice things they eat. Or they will kill chickens or livestock if they have to. Now that they are domesticated, they can eat dog food and people food with some exceptions. Grapes are bad for them as is Chocolate and onions are bad for them too.
Each of those foods have substances that are not harmful to people but are harmful to dogs. Rich fatty foods can make them sick if it makes up the bulk of their food.
Table scraps are okay as long as your dog is healthy and has a healthy diet besides this.
Some people feed their dogs a raw diet. I tried it with mine and they thrived, but it was too hard to keep it up as I have limited freezer space and three dogs to feed.

So now I sometimes give them some raw meaty bone for a treat and I give them a raw egg in their food weekly. Otherwise they eat a high quality dog food without toxic preservatives.
And no, they haven't gotten salmonella poisoning or come down with bird flu. Raw bones don't splinter and would only be bad if your dog gulps down food which would mean it was swallowing large portions of bones. This could be bad. Cooked bones splinter and can compromise a dog if ingested.

Answer 4

Yes, actually i would always recommend to feed my dog with home cooked food rather than dog canned food, but u have to handle the food very carefully. Like not too salty, no msg, more vegg examples add on carrots so it will taste much sweeter and it is soft to bite. Also always boiled the meat, try to keep all food light and simple. They never get tired of eating fresh cooked meat than canned food. :)

Answer 5

ok yes they can but some food hurt a dogs body and they cannot digest it propperly like chocolate it has an ingrediant in it to where dogs can only have so much and they get very sick and nearly or do die.don not give them bones because you can get e-rays and it will show up in the exray since they cannot digest bones porpperly either.you may give them dog bones like the kind you buy at stores specially made for dogs.they love those...well our dogs do.

i also researched about this and it sayed that if you keep putting food in front of a dog it will it untill its stomach will actually "burst".they do die.

so it is best to only give them food rarely.

Answer 6

They can but its not good for them. A dog will live a longer life if they never eat people food. Science Diet is the best dog food for dogs.

Answer 7

They can eat most human food. But no chocolate. It is like poison to dogs

Answer 8

I occasionally give my dogs human table scrapes from time to time. It is not recommend you do so for every meal. Human food is very rich and can cause a dog to have a sensitive stomach

Answer 9

Yes, it is possible for a dog to consume human food. However it isn't generally thought of as a good idea.

Answer 10

some human foods can be very harmful to a dog. It's best not to do it unless you are absolutely positive the dog can tolerate it.
