Do You Share Your Food With Your Pet?

Many pet owners prefer to share some of their own table food with their beloved furry canine friends. But the thing is, pet owners must never use table food as well as leftover food as a replacement to high-quality pet food. Giving your leftover food to your dog is not a healthy practice at all; in fact, it could be harmful without you knowing it.

If your pet has been used to eating dry pet food, he could get an upset stomach whenever you give him an ample amount of a different (table) food. But if you’re really keen on giving him a taste of whatever food you’re eating, you can start by giving him food that has quite the same composition to his own diet (for example, chicken, plain noodles, or beef) and you should introduce such new foods very gradually. Always consider that your dog has its own daily caloric needs that you need to meet.

Do consult with your veterinarian Fox Lake IL if you have concerns about your pet’s diet or eating habits.
