Do You Give Your Pet(s) Table Scraps?

[sandragonfly]

do you give your dog/cat/bird/furretcetera table scraps? why so, why not?

I hate to. I can't anyway, messes up their trainings/rountines, etc..

[Alysser]

I can't say I don't. I do. Fries,turkey,chicken. But I very rarley do. I mean people say it's bad for the animal and I don't want her to be put in any danger. What I really HATE is when family/friends come over and give her table scraps because she is so "cute". Sassy is adorable. But that's no reason to giver her anything.

Yes!They love green beans and of course meat.They dont get the 'bad' stuff,like onions,raisons,etc.The eat the leftover rice and potatoes too . They DONT get fed at the table though.They dont beg so we dont want that to start.We've never had a problem with table scraps.

Mostly for Tia. She gets all sorts of stuff, she particularly loves pepperoni pizza!

[Roxyluvsme13]

Yes...

[luvofallhorses]

yes.. but they don't get them *every* night..

[Suki Wingy]

Yes, almost every night but I make him sit first and they go in his bowl.

[Buddy Blaze Lover]

Not usually...I don't like starting bad habits with Blaze, 'cause then he thinks he can get away with anything!

I do, but I NEVER give it to them while I'm eating. I always wait until I am done (and everyone else) and then I put the scraps in their bowls and make them sit and then give it to them.

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

I voted sometimes. I only give them certain things, and only tiny pieces.

[BC_MoM]

Yes, sometimes we do.. and just to point it out, we do feed scraps from the table and sometimes while we're eating.. lol You can all yell at me now.

[BitsyNaceyDog]

Not so much 'table scraps' as in our leftovers.
The birds get all kinds of things, mostly fruits, vegetables, and pasta.

I often give the dogs things when I'm feeding the birds. They most often get baby carrots.

The cats almost never get anything. On occasion they may get a little nibble of fish or chicken or something.

[dogzr#1]

yes, sometimes. they don't get fed in bulk though. just a few pieces here and there. i read online that sometimes 'human food' can be better than dog food, if fed in the correct amounts, with proper nutrients.

Same here Its mostly my dads fault, and you can tell, at dinner time they all are swarmed around him. They are all very polite beggers though, for the most part

We used to- all the time. Finally I realized that it was making Frisk a bit too chubby, so I stopped completely. My sister agrees with me, and she stopped too. But my parents are a whole different story. Both of them still try to sneak the dogs tablescraps when I'm not looking. I usually catch them, though .
