Sharing food with your dog

broken image

Your dog is very interested in your food whenever mealtimes come around and you are happy to offer her a bite off your plate every now and then. Is it safe to do so?

While sharing table food with your pet may encourage her to beg for more when you sit down to dinner, some people don’t mind this much. However, it is important to determine if what you are eating is a healthy option for your pet. There are a lot of foods that humans typically consume that are unsafe for dogs to eat. This means that you will have to be careful about your choices so your pet can stay out of harm’s way if you do decide to share. Talk with your pet’s veterinarian to figure out what is safe for her to consume. For additional information, please contact your local animal hospital Cincinnati, OH.
