Answer 1

Another poster had a similar situation a few days ago! Not to worry at all ! I think from time to time, all our dogs get really fed-up eating the same food dished out to them!( U would too!) and so when they see an opportunity to grab the human foods they jump at the chance! ( they see u each time chomp -chomping your food and smack your lips , so why not take a given opportunity ?! when they can !
Relax- your pooch will be very safe as long as there are no chicken and Fish bones in what she polished off.

Answer 2

Stop giving her table food, treats of any type. If she does something to deserve a treat, use her food, as a treat. As everyone else said, when she gets hungry, she will eat. Once she gets back to eating regularly, keep the table scraps to a min. Also, try waling your dog, longer than you normally do. Tire-her out, and that will make her hungrier, faster. Don't forget plenty of love and attention. She does not know this is bad, and she will need re-assurance!

Answer 3

My dog's eaten a lot worse then that :) She'll be fine, may get an upset tummy or a little diarrhea if she's not used to that kind of food though. Walk her or let her outside in the yard a lot before going to bed and first thing when you get up. And to be safe, leave a night light on or something so you can see if you get up in the middle of the night....nothing worse then stepping in a pile of diarrhea at 3 am.....experience :)

Answer 4

Your dog will be fine. Every dog I've ever had has eaten table scraps and they've all been healthy dogs. I think a lot of the hoopla surrounding dog food is a direct result of propaganda from the dog food manufacturers. And, of course, they have the aid of veterinarians in their quest to rid dogs of anything that doesn't come labeled "for dogs".

Answer 5

Your dog will be fine! My dogs eat ONLY table food. No dog food. She may get an upset tummy...or maybe not. But it sure wasn't anything that will hurt her. In fact, it was probably a real taste treat for her! Don't worry......she will be fine.

Answer 6

Yeah. Probably be fine. My dog managed to eat Cadbury Creme eggs, Fish food, cockroach baits. You name it. She did puke her guts out when she ate the drip tray from under the barbequeue, but was fine after that.

Answer 7

Yeah she'll be fine, she might throw up later but it's just cleansing her system of food she is not used to. If she looks unwell or is throwing up continusouly, she might have allergies to something (pretty unusal) so take her to the vet. But most likely she'll be fine, make sure she drinks lots of water.

Answer 8

She'll be OK. My dog eats table food all the time. Your dog might vomit or have diarrhea because she is not use to table food.

Answer 9

she should be fine, my dog has eaten human food a couple times, just try not to make a habbit of it, once my dog ate french fries them threw them back up half an hour ago. my dog is fine so ur dog should be fine also.

Answer 10

haha yeah your dog will be fine!! Might get diarreah for a day, but now that your dogs had a taste of all that yummy food you can garuntee she will be trying to get back on to that table any chance she gets.
