Dog Food

Human Food / Dog Food

Have you ever eaten a delicious orange with your dog staring at you with his giant, soulful eyes (see Figure 1)? Or experienced a minor heart attack when one second you dropped a piece of cheese and the next it's in your furry baby's jaw? Well not to worry, many of our people-foods are totally safe, and even quite nutritious, for dogs.

Caveat: grapes, chocolate, raisins, garlic, macadamia nuts, and other foods are toxic to dogs. When in doubt, contact your veterinarian or poison control . Also note, many of these foods should only eaten in moderation. Avoid seasoning and excess fat, salt, and sugar. Excess may lead to one sick pooch. 🤮 A balanced diet is key!

Here's a list of a few dog-safe people-foods:

Fruits
Watermelon, Blueberries, Strawberries, Bananas, Apples, Pears, Peaches, and more!
Fruits are rich in vitamins and minerals and a great source of fiber. Great for a balanced diet.
Meat
Chicken, Turkey, Fish, Eggs, Pork, etc
(Obviously) a great source of protein. Just make sure the meat is not too fatty.
Vegetables
Brocolli, Carrots, Celery, Green Beans, Peas, etc.
Rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber. So healthy!
Dairy Products
Yogurt, Cheese, and Milk
But watch out! Your dog may be lactose intolerant! 😱
