Human Foods Safe For Dogs
Fruits, Veggies, and Other Foods You Can Safely Share With Your Dog
You're eating a snack or a meal at the dinner table and what do you see? Your dog's eyes just pleading for a taste. While sharing a bite or two of most human foods won't do harm, it's important to make sure that everything you're feeding is completely safe. We've broken down a go-to guide to help you determine dog-friendly foods that both of you can enjoy together. But keep in mind that all fruits and veggies should be served without seeds or pits, and meats cooked and unseasoned.
