Can Dogs Eat Human Food? Low to High Risk Foods

Can Dogs Eat Human Food?

I’m sure you’re guilty. Okay, I am too, of giving the family dog treats under the dinner table. And we give him our left-overs, maybe share a cookie or two. After all, he’s looking at you with those big brown eyes and you want to make him happy. But is it okay? Can dogs eat human food without consequences?

The junk food that’s not good for us, is not good for your pooch either. But you should know that.

Perhaps you think foods that are good for us must be okay for your pet. But did you know that even fruits and vegetables can wreak havoc on a dog’s body, causing severe health problems?

Sure, it’s fun to share, and it can save you money on dog food or whatever. However, some people-food can be downright dangerous to your dog or any other pet you have.
