Default Pets and People Food

Do you share your food with your pets? I may be weird, but I love my dog and I think of her as my baby. I will literally let her eat off my fork, or share my milk with me. When I eat a popsicle, I will let her lick it haha

Two of my cats do not care for human food, they are happy with cat food and never beg. The only expection is tuna! When my husband opens a can, all three will be there asking for some.

The third one wants to sample everything we eat, he'd sit near us and sometimes reach up and touch you, to remind that he's there and wants some food. We do give him some.

Haha I can see why though. Tuna is so yummy. I could literally eat it plain!! I think there's nothing wrong with feeding our pets, but it can become a problem if they start begging too much and getting more aggressive when they want it. Also, I've seen so many dogs that are insanely fat, because they are fed all the dinner scraps. I find that to be really mean. Some have a hard time even walking around

Yes, we need to keep it in moderation. Being overweight is not cute, it is dangerous for the pet. They have all kinds of health problems, including heart failure, because of it. And they are like children - incapable of watching their diet; if something tastes good, they'll keep eating. It is up to the owner to be responsible and feed the pet right.

My dogs do not eat human food. They like their dog food. Low in Calorie and high in protein. I also give them bones to chew.

I make sure to always have some kind of treat for my dog. I've been doing better at not feeding her my food, but it's been tough. She's so cute! I'll occassionally let her lick my bowl after I eat sugar free yogurt She loves pineapple too! I love giving her a piece. Crazy thing is, if I give her a green bean, she will eat it lol At least that's good for her.. I think
