People Food for Pups: What's Safe to Share With Your Dog

It's no secret that dogs love to eat. Many pet owners will attest to the fact that their dog will eat just about anything! While this may be entertaining for a while, it's important to remember that not all human food is safe for dogs. In this post, we will discuss some common people foods that dogs can eat safely. 

Peanut Butter: Peanut butter is a great treat for dogs, but make sure it is natural and unsalted. Sugary or salted peanut butters can cause stomach upset in some dogs. Dogs love this delicious snack and it can keep them entertained for long periods of time!

Blueberries: Blueberries are full of antioxidants and vitamins, so they make a great snack for your pup. Just remember to remove the stems before giving them to your dog!

Carrots: Carrots are an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K. They also help clean their teeth as they crunch away. When feeding carrots to your canine pal, make sure to cut them up into small pieces so they don't choke.

White rice: White rice is a great source of energy and provides essential nutrients to dogs. Just make sure it's cooked first - raw rice can cause digestive problems in some canines.

Chicken: Got a dog with an upset tummy? Boiled chicken and cooked white rice can settle a dogs stomach and get them back to normal in no time.

Pumpkin: Pumpkin contains high levels of dietary fiber, which helps keep your dog's digestive tract running smoothly. As an added bonus, dogs think that it's quite tasty!

Bananas: Bananas are full of potassium, B vitamins, and other essential minerals. They should be an occasional treat for dogs, as they have a high amount of sugar.

Fish: Fish is full of omega-3 fatty acids, which help keep your dog's coat shiny and their joints healthy. Make sure that it is cooked first - raw fish can contain harmful bacteria.

These are just some of the people foods that are safe for dogs to eat. Remember, you should never give your pup "people foods" without consulting with a veterinarian first. Before feeding anything to your pup, make sure that it is safe and healthy for them to consume. With the right amount of moderation and supervision, you can enjoy sharing special treats with your canine pal! Happy snacking!
