Can you feed your dog human food?

Human Food For Dogs

Generally, it's not recommended to feed your dog human food as a regular part of their diet. Here’s why:

Balanced Diet Challenges

• Nutritional Deficiencies: It can be difficult to create a balanced diet for your dog using human food alone. Dogs have specific nutritional requirements that may not be met with typical human foods, leading to potential deficiencies.

• Consult a Canine Nutritionist: If you decide to prepare homemade meals for your dog, it's crucial to consult with a canine nutritionist to ensure the diet is balanced and meets all your dog’s nutritional needs.

Occasional Treats

• Moderation is Key: A little bit of human food every now and then as a treat is fine.

• Safe Options: Opt for lean cuts of meat (such as chicken and turkey), fish, and fresh fruits and veggies like chopped apple, carrot, or broccoli.

• Rule of Thumb: Treats and human food should make up no more than 10% of your dog’s daily diet to avoid unbalancing their nutrition.

By following these guidelines, you can safely incorporate small amounts of human food into your dog's diet without compromising their health.
