Scrap Food Recycling -- Give the dog a bone
Since I was a child, it was commonplace to feed the family dog scraps from the table. I remeber the parents used to put anything edible in the dog's bowl, mashed potatos and gravy, leftover fat from steaks and pork, bones from steaks and pork, chicken skin, even vegetables and biscuits, and much more too numerous to mention here. Now we are more learned, I wouldn't say smarter cause I think we were pretty smart back then we just didn't do the research to discover that all human food is not so good for the dog.
As a matter of fact, there are some foods that are perfectly alright for humans but lethal to dogs. The rule of thumb with anything we feed the dog that is not labeled or known of as dog food, should be fed to the dog in moderation. You know moderation is the key to everything in life. Some will say you should never feed the dog from the table, and although that may the case for some things people eat, it is not the case for everything, so table scraps are ok if you follow specific guidelines.
Now, let's start with overfeeding. You don't want a fat dog. Or a dog with digestive problems that lead to serious health problems. Or do you want a dog with diarhea? I didn't think so. So no overfeeding that's number one. Number two would be don't feed Rover fats like fat cut from a steak, or butter, or oil like on a salad. Your dogs body will absorb the fat and it will clog arteries and basically react the same as in a human on a high fat diet. Table scraps should be a treat for your dog, not a part of his daily eating ritual. The reason table scraps, no matter how large a portion, should never replace the regular meal is that the scraps do not contain the necessary vitamins and minerals to keep your dog healthy. And no fatty sauces like spaghetti sauce.
Now we are getting somewhere. No overfeeding, no fats, good. Now, no milk ar milk byproducts. Dogs lack the necessary enzyme required to break down and digest milk. Yes, dogs are lactose intolerant which means don't feed them things like macaroni and cheese. The mac is fine the cheese is not. No sushi for Fido either. The fish causes a thiamine deficiency which will lead to seizures and death. No Onions. If anything had onions in it take the onions out before serving to your dog. Onion flavor wont hurt your dog, it's the onion itself. Also, NO BONES. That's right! No cooked bones of any kind. Bones could break apart into shards that could pierce intestines or stomach, they could damage the throat and pierce the roof of the mouth. Chew bones are not made of bone.
Easily digestible meats such as turkey, chicken, are great. Cooked rice is good, even some fruits and vegetables. AVOID Grapes at all times. Grapes cause severe kidney damage in dogs. So it is OK to feed your dog table scraps as long as you know what not to feed him, to not overfeed him, and that it does not replace a regular meal, it is considered a snack.
