People Food as Pet Treats

We enjoy spoiling our pets with belly rubs and kisses but above everything with delicious treats. So what's more common than partaking a bit or two from one's own plate? Although a bit of your chicken or steak usually is fine, it is important to go easy with sharing "people food" with your pooch. Proper Pet food contains the nutritional requirements for a balanced diet your pet needs to maintain good health. Treats should only make up 10% of your pet's daily calories.

Watch out for Toxic Foods

Although some fruit and veggies you love are healthy and good for your pet, it is important to know what food might be toxic for him. For example, although you may love avocados, grapes, macadamia nuts, coffee, onions, and chocolate, these and other "people foods" can be toxic to dogs. Some "people food" might be too difficult for your pet to diggest or might be tough on their liver or could contain natural components that simply hurt our pets. If you are not sure if a treat is good for your dog, take the time to talk to your vet to avoid any unfortunate accidents. If at some point, your pet has consumed something he shouldn't have or are Worried, your pet may have eaten something toxic, call the Animal Poison Control Center, and take your pet to the vet immediately.
