No Soft Russian, It is not wrong, There are people starving all over the world and always will be, And if you stopped giving treats to your Pet and gave everything you had to the starving people of the world you soon would become one of them, There has always been starving people of the world and there always will be I am sorry to say.

Pets are (or at least should be) part of the family so it's natural human behaviour to want to treat and spoil the people and pets you love. Pet treats and toys aren't very expensive in my experience. Rather than look to deny our poor pets any treats in life, perhaps we should donate to good causes the money that we would otherwise spend on clothes, alcohol, luxury food, nice cars etc etc? This is more likely to help alleviate suffering than denying your dog a bone!
lizzydrippin summed it all up wonderfully in my eyes.
Treat your dog and enjoy your dog's company. If you have a few pennies left over and wish to donate elsewhere then do so. Just remember always that charity begins at home. Don't deprive your companion of a treat or feel guilty that four legs living with you is better off than two legs elsewhere. A pet becomes part of your family and as a family you may give what you have left over to share with another but don't ever feel guilty that your family - two or four legged- come first.
My dog eats well - my loose change I put in a pot as my dog's "bone money". Every year we empty and change the coins into notes. I get Xmas cards and small presents with my dogs bone money and the residue I give to the RSPCA. Whatever my dog needs (a coat or new collar) there is always a residue in coins and that I give to charity. I don't feel guilty and the dog lives well and I am sure does not feel guilty.

I am really surprised by your answers! I have come into a bit of money and have started having a bit too much of an extravigant lifestyle but even though I can be mean and I do have a conscience and just feel really bad for spending do much on my dog.He is lovely though

Our old Jack Russell gets a pressie for Xmas. When we had our other dog they both used to have a doggie stocking but when our old Duchess died our little Toby would'nt accept his stocking so he has just has some doggie chocs now. He cant be bothered with his toys anymore,he's too old. I've never felt guilty,our pet's are part of our family.
