How To Share Your Human Food With Your Pet In Healthy Ways

Transferring all that leftover human food to your dog’s food dish from your own plate is perhaps not a very healthy method of offering table scraps or people food to your dog.  If your pet is already being fed with ample rations of high-quality dog food, then offering him all the leftover people food will just cause a nutritional imbalance, increasing his risk of developing health issues.

There are dogs that develop upset stomachs after consuming people food, most especially if the animal is already accustomed to an all-kibble ration for quite some time.  If you are to offer people food, the best way to start this is to offer food components already part of the kibble ingredients like lamb or chicken and then slowly expand from there.

And since a lot of people food has high carbohydrate and fat content, the best way is to offer only small portions, at the same time being conscious of what is it your pet is consuming.  This will definitely aid you in determining the cause of any digestive issues your pet may experience.
