Sure, don’t give dogs twinkies, but for that matter, don’t give humans twinkies either. The idea makes it seem like dogs are aliens or something. Dog food ingredients are usually meat, grain and veggies, just like our meals. Food that is healthy for you is healthy for your dog, and vice versa.

    Pretty much every prepackaged savory food in American has garlic and onions in it. Both are bad for dogs. Will it kill them? Probably not, but it’s definitely not good for them.

    Not to mention all the salt and other crap in “human foods”. If you’re talking about your bbq from the backyard cookout, the same really still applies, since most people put sauce or seasoning on their food.

    If you specifically cook your dog some rice, broccoli and unseasoned (bone free) chicken, yeah totally fine, but I’d wager there are people that wouldn’t consider that human food with no seasonings.

      I think that’s a good point. Sauces are so common. Good to know, but in my experience, that’s not what people are referring to when they make such a comment. But maybe I’m wrong.

        Well, I covered most Americans staple foods so I’m not sure what food you’re referring to now.
