Can I feed my dog human food leftovers? What's safe?
[]
Answer
While some human foods are safe in moderation, many are toxic or unhealthy for dogs. It's generally best to avoid feeding large quantities of human food leftovers as they can be too rich, fatty, or contain ingredients harmful to dogs (e.g., onions, garlic, grapes, xylitol, cooked bones). Small, plain portions of cooked, unseasoned lean meats, certain vegetables (like carrots, green beans), and fruits (like apples without seeds) can be acceptable treats. Always research before offering and introduce new foods slowly. The safest approach is to stick to a high-quality, balanced commercial dog food. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
