Dogs are creatures of opportunity. If they see the chance to score an Oreo cookie your child throws on the floor most dogs will jump at the chance to grab it. And it’s not just cookies our four-legged friends love.

My first fox terrier, Sweetheart, would eat just about anything that wouldn’t eat her first. Although she got the best (and priciest) dog food on the market, she was always looking for that little something extra. I admit to sneaking a bite of chicken under the table for her on many occasions. Sometimes it was a piece of cheese, toast, fries… Well, you get the picture.

Although feeding your dog table scraps is a big “No-No” according to most veterinarians, many pet lovers can’t help but let their dogs indulge just a bit. As long as it’s just a little.

Be aware that certain foods such as chocolate, grapes, mushrooms, onions, garlic and bones from fish or chicken are very bad for dogs.

While some human foods may cause an upset stomach in your dog, others can cause severe illness and death. For a complete list of foods not to give your dog, visit peteducation.com
