Do You Give Your Pet(s) Table Scraps?

Definately...I don't think Bear would ever speak to me again if I didn't..

Out of my three cats, Amadeus is the only one who will eat table scraps. He gets turkey, chicken and fries! I don't feed my puppy, Bailey, table scraps and probably never will. He already has a well balanced dry kibble that provides him with everything he needs. He will be getting a raw bone 2X a week and reward treats. I put Bailey in his Ex-Pen every time we're eating. I let him watch and then give him his kibble when we're finished. Since I can't put my cats in a kennel, they all sit around us when we're eating. I am NOT the guilty one for feeding Amadeus scraps, DH is. He feels "sorry" for him when he sits there looking so cute. Atleast my other two kitties won't get fat, Amadeus is getting rounder and rounder... Too much table scraps! LOL!

What they usually get now is to lick our plates clean when we are done eating

Lol, We do that too

[lute]

sometimes i do. if it's not too bad for them. i NEVER give puppies table scraps!

[Vette]

Dang it.. i voted for the wrong one. i ment 'sometimes' as it does depend on what it is.

popcorn i have no issues sharing with him. but other stuff im very strick with.
and sometimes ill give him some of the crust off a sandwhich. and sometimes some types of candy. like Skittles. he loves those things. but i only give him 1 or 2 and thats it. and thats all the table scraps hes ever had.

Yup, if I put my leftovers in the fridge they usually just stay there until they go bad lol. Visa's on a raw diet so she is used to eating food other than kibble. I also get her to lick my plates and bowls clean because I always forget to rinse them. Then the plates and bowls just tend to accumulate on the floor. This post is making me realise that I'm a slob LOL.

all the time, right off my fork as I am eating. do they beg? sure do! dont bother me, I like being surrounded by dogs, I just require that if they are gonna beg they must do it politly, and that means NO drooling on me!

[chocolatecoffee]

Yep, we sure do!

They're not the "scraps" off of the table though, we supplement their food with healthy human food (the stuff we eat before it's prepared with sauce and such, just when it's cooked, if it's good for them). We don't feed them off of the table because we don't want them to beg, but it seems that regardless of how often you tell visitors not to feed the dogs off of the table, they don't listen, so they do get slipped food off of the table when I'm not watching. They're good and healthy though so I'm happy!

Sometimes I let my two Chihuahuas have table scraps, but not often. Buffy is way to fat as it is. The cats never get table scraps, but then they don't want them anyway.

I don't give them tablescraps very much. Sometimes if Georgia follows me downstairs and I can't finish my sandwich or something, I give it to her, but rarely.

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

Not often, and never from the table. Instead of rinsing everything off my plate though, sometimes I'll let Tango lick it clean and then rinse it...but there's usually barely anything on it anyway. I don't give Winston scraps often at all because he drools and I find that absolutely disgusting. My parents give him stuff occasionally though.
