Yep. Be careful how much and of what you are feeding, though. Are you planning on giving your dog people food treats or are you considering a raw diet?

Re: Question: Can dog eat people food?

Depends on if you are making your own dog food from natural ingredients, if you mean table scaps I dont feed that to my dog, my American Bulldog would get very sick if he ate anything other then dog food, I will on special occassions give Gypsy some meat but its not very often...

Re: Question: Can dog eat people food?

Of course dogs can eat people food. What do you think they lived on 50 years ago, before kibble was invented?

I feed a raw diet, but the dogs usually get a taste of my healthy table scraps.

Re: Question: Can dog eat people food?

Maybe we need to define "people food."

Are we talking beer and cheese curds or the stuff we're supposed to be actually eating?

Mmmm. Beer. My dogs love beer - it's light beer, so it's healthy, right?

Re: Question: Can dog eat people food?

Can dogs eat people food?
Short Answer: yes
A better question:
Is feeding my dog people food healthy for the dog?
Answer: Not always, your dog needs a proper nutrition. If you want to feed your dog a home made diet that caters to its dietary needs thats one thing, if you want to feed your dog what you have for dinner each night thats another. A few table scraps here and there wont hurt (feed them from the dogs food bowl not your hand or your plate) but as a dietary daily meal their needs are different then humans.
