[mirela]

which kind of human food will you give to your dog?

Hi mirela!

Unfortunately as much as my pup loves chicken - he cant have it because it makes him poorly so that is a no no. But he loves the occasional sausage and bits of cheese!!! He will also enjoy a bit of raw carrot. Also likes tiny bit of toast with marmite on it!!! Apart from that ...... its back to the basic doggie food!!!! :o)

I dont have a dog but my cats always come and sit near me while I'm eating so if I'm in a good mood I'll give them a bit of what ever it is and see if they like it!

Our dog loves chicken but.........blimey it makes him fart, and what a stink he makes ! He proudly pops them out every few minutes and we have to put him outside for a while !

I'm same with Jillius, however in my case (or should I say my dogs!) It's cheese.

Her farts are truly evil after she's had some of this.

i am however prone to giving her leftover pasta, and potatoes and she usually ends up getting Mini Boo's tea- no matter what it is, unless it's cheese based lol.

Our dog adores spaghetti bolognese so we always save him some. He loves anything that's got a tomato based sauce.

Our dog (gone now) was quite happy with her own food but went absolutely mad when my Mum did barbecued spare ribs. In the end my Mum ended up doing extra for her and made them especially on the dogs birthday!!

I agree with you there In A Pickle! Pup is never allowed our food while we are eating - and he has a healthy doggie diet so does not want for much else. He's not allowed to scrounge. If he has the occasional treat, its on our terms and put in his bowl after we have finished our meal. Happy dog - happy owners! :o)

[alfieblue]

Ps - though pup may disagree with that statement!!!! He's ready to try anything - given the chance!!!!!! :o)

One of our dogs will eat everthing and anything if given the chance - even eating the onion skin I dropped on the floor recently. Curry, Chili, raw onions, anything he can thieve is good. However, he is rarely given the chance to thieve!!

The other dog is not so greedy and not a thief.

However, some of our gravy and veg on their dog food after a Sunday roast is a real treat and they do get the odd tit bit from our plate - naughty I know.

[woofgang]

anything except chocolate, onions grapes sultanas raisins, anything very sugary or alcohol.

I treat them when i feel like it, when they are lying quietly or behaving well or put a bit on their dinner but it never amonts to more than about a tenth or less of their daily ration

[LoftyLottie]

Oh Woofgang. We had a lovely dog who simply loved fruit and vegetables and literally begged for brussel sprouts. He would ignore his dog food if we gave him raw veg!

We fed him grapes quite regularly! That was years before I realised they were dangerous for dogs. Anyway, he was a big dog and lived until he was nearly 14, so fortunately they did him no harm. Phew!!

[Jillius]

Our labrador, now sadly departed, sneaked into a neighbours house through their patio doors and devoured everything that had been laid out for their child's birthday party ! He even ate the candles !!
Luckily they all thought it was hilarious and after hastily making more sandwiches etc, the dog was invited to stay for the party ! He loved it.

[alfieblue]

Lol LL! Pup is a thief - he has his eye on everything and anything when im cooking!!!

Anyone would think he was starved!!!!

His latest conquest was a yorkshire pudding!!!! He managed to grab it from the kitchen worktop and legged it away - little devil!!!! Was going to ask him if he wanted gravy and veg with it ...... but too late, it had been devoured!!!! :o)

[LoftyLottie]

Oh, that's so lovely Jillius!

We did have a little dog years ago that thieved half of the Christmas turkey. He also nibbled round the chicken when we had guests for dinner. The guests got their chicken, we didn't tell them that the dog had got there first!

[LoftyLottie]

LOL Alfieblue. Our little dog has to be restrained from grabbing food out of the oven when I open the oven door!! He ain't very bright our little Yorkie!!

[alfieblue]

Lol LL - spaniel the pup is the same!!! He will leg it away with anything if he gets the chance!!!!

He is such a tealeaf!!!! x

kebab meat and chips with chilli sauce

[alfieblue]

Once a thief, always a thief!!! Pup has just snatched a clean sock from the ironing pile - literally just sorting out when he snatched and did a runner!!!!

He's just done the rounds around the garden with it ....... and his look - sort of come on then chase me for it!!!! A bribe of cheese eventually worked ..... back into the washing machine with the sock!!!! :o)
