Miss Tawny lays at my feet, and if she hears the knife and fork go down she gets up. All I have to say is "not for puppies" and she lays down again. If you feed alot of people food , I'm sure there would be problems seeing half our food has chemical additives in it anyway. My vet said 1 tlbs isn't going to hurt anyone, but don't get carried away, as much veggies as they want but not the gassy ones like cabbage, because you will find out really quick. Phew!
