Those are toxic to dogs though. I feed all three of my dogs table food and they haven't had any problems at all their entire lives.

Some human food is not safe for dogs to eat. However if you are giving your dog carrots green beans squash pasta apple strawberry's blueberry's then fine as long as the food your are giving is not covered in sauces salt pepper seasonings. As a treat if you want to give your dog a bite then give him some unseasoned food. Plain unseasoned cooked pasta chicken beef carrots squash rice. Just no seasonings on the food you are giving..

It is usually avoided though bc human food does not have all of the nutrition that a dog needs and human food is much more fattening that dog food. Plus, human food contains many things that can be highly toxic or even kill your dog. Do NOT give your dog table scraps if it contains any of the following: Chocolate, Tomatoes, Onions, Caffeine, Beer, Avocados, Yeast, Fried Foods, Bones, Grapes, Raisins.... I know there are a few others, just can't think of them right now. Also salt and sugar can cause major health problems for your dog. Many dogs are also unable to process milk and corn. If they can't process either, you will notice that they become very gassy and/or have excessive amounts of fecal matter. Raw carrots and plain baked sweet potato strips are good human foods to feed your dog... and most like them. Peanut butter, liver, boiled liver and plain scrambled eggs are all things your dogs will love that are healthy in moderation. Either way, make sure that the table scraps do not exceed 10% of your dog's diet. Anything more will cause obesity, heart problems, etc. Some table scraps are ok for dogs.

Chicken/turkey/sharp bones & chocolate are the exceptions I can remember- just google search "foods dogs can't eat". Your mom is overreacting, unless there is a specific medicial reason that particular pet doesn't need to be eating table food, in which case you should listen to her. Table food is fine.

Pasta, rice and meat and vegetables are perfectly ok and good for the dog. No onions, corn on the cob, grapes, choclolate, sultanas or raisins. They are bad for dogs. There seems to be paranoia on this forum about 'People Food' whatever that means. Good, nourishing food is as good for the dog as it is for people. At least it's not full of corn, wheat, grains and other useless fillers that are found in all but the super premium, expensive dry food and from what I read on here, not too many people are feeding super premium food to their dogs. Added: Definitely never give cooked bones. As for the person who said no chicken. Dogs do very well on a chicken diet. Chicken is an excellent source of protein. Ham and bologna, on the other hand, are processed meats and are not good for the dog. It depends on what food you are giving him.

Fruit vegetables and meat are fine.. no salt, no butter and no seasoning.. If you are feeding hot dogs and ham, other junk food, then you are killing your dog. Don't give them things like bologna and ham... Chicken is fine.. no cooked bones at all. Depends on what you are giving him… Fruit vegetables and meat are fine.. no salt, no butter and no seasoning..
