There are many food items that dogs metabolize differently than humans do, so it is easier to just say, "No people food" than to try to remember what they really shouldn't have..
Dogs Shouldn't Have:
Onions (in any form)
Added salt (most prepared foods are salted)
Nitrates, which is in most processed meats
Mono-sodium glutamate, which is in SO many of our food items.
Chocolate, or candy of any kind.
Raisins or grapes
Fruit seeds/pits, and most tree nuts are harmful.
Turkey fat/skin can be devastating, causing pancreas disease.
No cooked bones..
No corn or soy (found in most dog foods)
No fresh milk products, at all..
Nothing containing caffeine, such as coffee, cola or tea.
Nothing with excess fat, and ONLY low fat cheese
Easy on the organ meats (liver, etc) and easy on the cabbages and tomatoes.
SO, if one can remember all the "dont's" then you can create a healthy dog diet from 'human' food items.
I give my dogs small amounts of safe 'human' food, daily, and feed a wholesome kibble

The best thing for this is NO PEOPLE FOODS.
Go to your local petstore, and buy some dog food, yes. The innocent "Can I have some?" stare is sometimes hard to ignore.
But to insure the safety of your pet, only feed him dog food. Ask your vet about the best kind of food for your dog.
(Another suggestion; when you are eating, place your dog outside, or in a seperate room. So you don't feel temped. It's not punishment for your dog, it's just eliminating the chances of you slipping him that night's Pizza left over.)

please just feed your dog dog food only! They can get sick from anything other than dog food (worms) and then its going to cost you alot of money in vet bills to get rid of those worms.
