Do You Give Your Pet(s) Table Scraps?

Yep. Anytime I'm over at my parents' house for dinner the dogs stay at my feet.

My sister feeds the cat...I never realized it until one time at dinner Cupcake walked over onto the windowsill and from there put her front paws on my sister's shoulder and pulled a bite of mashed potatoes off of her fork! :eek:

I voted yes... I needa spoil my baby, of course :D

rarely, but sometimes. Always when we are done eating.

Yes. But if Autumn gets a lot I give her less for her next meal. She lays on the floor by the table. I don't consider that begging, just watching and wishing. She'd sit outside of the room if I actually told her to. I don't consider it bad to give a healthy dog table scraps. I've had a talk with the whole family recently to cut back. I'd like to get 5 pounds off her because she's showing signs of bad hips. They actually listened and you can see it helped her, she's wasn't much overweight to begin with but now you can see her ribs a little.

no, but others do so she still begs for it :rolleyes:

Sometimes. Jenny sometimes gets raw sweet potato, turnip, celery, etc.
Saturday night she gets a bit of meat or gravy on her food, just enough for flavor, though. We never feed her from the table though. :cool:

umm..no...okay, yeh, I give my sweetie table scraps. She rarely gets them, and if she happens to beg for them, she does not get any. She usually has to sit, or sit pretty. I only give her little pieces of chicken, turkey, or raw, tiny pieces of fat off of steaks. I don't want her getting sick, or overwieght (that would be really bad for her leg).

Steph and Jes

Yes, Camen always get a piece of meat and rice and potato, he doesn't like raw vegtables. Got to be cooked..hehehehe
But, We don't feed at the table. Only after we eat i put it in his bowl and I get him to sit and stay until say "eat"

And if they get an excess of table scraps, I calculate that into their daily food amount so I may give them 1/2 less of food or something to compensate

Same here.

I do but not when i am eating but they love it my grandma gives them sugar free cookies. :)

I do, yes, but not EVERYTHING goes!! I only give them certain things, and only very tiny pieces; like: a little piece of chicken, turkey, cheese, ham. Snoopy eats everything so she also gets some of my veggies sdometimes :D

The only time I ever give Molli or Sammy table scraps is when we are eating pork chops, we will give them the bones. But they are givin them only when they are in their kennels because Molli is VERY food aggresive. Also so they know they don't get food right from the table. Plus Sam is a Cocker and they get fat easily.

Oreo gets chicken and turkey.

Guilty :o

I don't give him table scraps because he's already too fat and he's such a beggar I hate to encourage that.He get lots of treats though (too many in fact)

We used to ALL the time when we had Angus & Keisha but now we rarely do.

What they usually get now is to lick our plates clean when we are done eating, yes...I said lick off our plate and no it doesn't gross us out:p
But here lately they were begging too much so we've stopped it (well for the most part any way:D)
