🐾 HUMAN FOODS: WHAT CAN YOUR DOG EAT? 🍎🥕
Those puppy-dog eyes make it very hard to say no when your dog is begging at the dinner table! 🥹 But while some human foods can be safe as an occasional treat, they are not necessary for your dog’s diet.
A good-quality, reputable, complete and balanced pet food should provide your dog with all the nutrients they need for a healthy diet. ❤️
✅ Foods such as apples (without seeds), blueberries, carrots, cooked chicken, eggs, green beans, pumpkin, rice and cooked sweet potato can be suitable as occasional treats, provided your individual dog can tolerate them.
🚫 Some foods should NEVER be given to dogs, including chocolate, grapes and raisins, onions and garlic, xylitol, alcohol, caffeine, macadamia nuts and yeast dough.
⚠️ Treats aren’t suitable for every dog. If your pet needs to lose weight, has food allergies, dietary sensitivities, pancreatitis, diabetes or another health condition, additional treats or human foods may not be recommended. Even seemingly “healthy” treats can add unnecessary calories or interfere with a prescribed diet.
🐶 The best treat is one that is appropriate for your individual pet. When in doubt, ask your veterinarian what is safe and suitable for your dog.
