Tiffany found a NutterButter cookie that my daughter left laying around. She scarfed that baby down and looked positively blissful lol.

A lot of people feed a raw diet or a barf diet. I do not have a lot of knowledge of those, so I wont comment on them and will save that for others who do, but I do know that those diets are different from scraps. Those diets are specifically prepared with the nutritional needs of the dog in mind. Feeding scraps fails to take into consideration those needs.Personally, I don't allow my chis ANY table food. There are too many additives and salt ect in table food, but my family sneaks them treats all the time. Against my wishes, lol. I don't think there is really anything wrong with the occasional treat or taste of what is on your plate, as long as it is not something toxic to dogs (research toxic foods!!) BUT, I would definitely not feed them table scraps as their source of food.Cottage cheese and yogurt are great for dogs with upset stomachs and I keep it on hand for them at all times. Corn is not dangerous and is used as a filler in most dog foods, but it has little or no nutritional value. green beans are often recommended by vets as something to use for overweight dogs...it curbs hunger but has few calories, so if a dog is overweight from over eating (and not due to a medical condition) greenbeans are good to add to their dog food to help fill them up.Make sure that you give the same safety considerations to the dog's meat as you would for yourself. Keeping them safe from salmonella poisoning, ect. Do not give them any cooked bones in the meat and supervise if you choose to give uncooked bones.Broccoli, asparagus, and carrots.....I do not know if these are toxic for dogs or not...maybe someone else will know.....

First question, Bitsy our new pup will eat almost
anything she is just 8 weeks old. Any pros or cons on feeding table scraps
to our new chihuahua.
She eats asparagus, broccoli, carrots, green beans, meat, chicken
and cottage cheese, added to kibble.
Not all at once of course.
Barry and Sue
