I never eat at fast food places anymore. I gave that up probably 4 years ago. However, I still stop by every once in a while and get a burger for my dog. Now she is getting fat. Unfortunately, everytime we drive by a McD's or a BK or a Wendy's she whines and I always give in. Any suggestions?

Don't give in. It is extremely unhealthy to be feeding your dog fast food. Not only is it fatty and not nutritionally balanced, but you have spoiled him and he thinks that human food is not off limits.
If you feel badly, ask the vet about giving your dog a treat of well cooked ground beef every once in a while. If you make it yourself, you can insure that it's not fatty, and you can incorporate it into his diet.
Also, when you give it to him place it in his food bowl so that he doesn't identify it with human food. You can also give dogs chicken, cooked of course, not fried. In small amounts this can be a healthy addition to your dog's diet that he will enjoy. Please ask your vet to find out how much can be given per week or monthly, etc.

To help ypuurself from giving in put on some music and have it up a little bit loud so you can't hear the dog and continue to drive . Don't look back at the dog other wise you'll probably give in to the look I do my dog eats table scraps and now he's 23lbs and he should be 13-18lbs and he's a minature sheltie and runt. He's way over weight thanks to my siblings. An write a note to remind yourself No More Fast Food For the Dog no matter how much it whines or bags. Look online and look up healthy dog snacks and try that on your dog just no rasins or chocolate or grapes those are very bad like deadly bad for them in case you didn't know. You can cook some healthy stuff that dogs can eat just check online and try it out on the dog.

Hmmmmmm let's see.....................just don't stop there anymore! Since YOU don't eat these types of foods anymore, I am assuming that there was a reason for you to stop. Maybe because fast food is not good for you? Well if you won't eat at these places, why would you make a special trip for your dog? Buy your dog a nice healthy snack from the pet store and quit giving her food that will harm her.

you need to stop giving in! You are the "pack leader" and you need to set an example. Right now she is the "pack leader" when it comes to fast food.
My grandmothers dog died of her doing what you are doing. She had horrible kidney stones due to the "diet" she was on. Stop now and save your dog's life or continue to sentence her to a quick death......

You just have to be strong and not give in, even though that can be hard sometimes. Think of it this way--obesity can lead to health problems like heart disease and diabetes. If you stop feeding her burgers, you may be helping to save her life.

I'm thinking this can't be a serious question :p
But if it is...she'll get over it. Just stop going there. Dogs don't have the greatest memories...if you keep driving by, she'll forget about it in no time.

...burgers for your dog? R/U crazy? Animals shouldn't eat people food, it's hardly good for humans, let alone animals! Take her doggie treats w/you when you go out and give her one of them when she starts whining. Poor thing............
