but you do know that a lot of human food is not very healthy or straight up posion for dogs?
Meat, bread, cheese, potatoes, and just about every veggie is fine though. The exceptions are short enough that most dog owners should be aware of them. Onions, chocolate, grapes, garlic, and tomatoes.
But so fucking many snotty pet owners practically brag about their dogs not eating human food or claim they get pancreatitis if they eat a pretzel.
My dogs beg politely off to the side and always get the last bite of everything.
A lot of small breeds really can't handle the same wide variety of food that other breeds can. My husky is a garbage disposal with an iron stomach. My chipoo gets an upset tummy just being shown a picture of cheese.
Have you tried giving him queso? /s
