Dog food etiqutte: A must followed

Before, I was wondering if I could talk to my dog because the first question that I would ask would be, "Are you happy living with me?" Then I realized that the question could be answered easily by just observing your pet as to how it behaves with regard to your presence. Being a dog lover is way too different than just being an owner because you treat your pooch not just a pet but another member of the family. Being family means that it gets to share with the stuffs the family is in with including food. Do you have that feeling when you are eating something new and you want your pup to have a taste too? It is normal that you want your pup to share the same wonderful experience you have.
However this kind of thinking should have its own limits because everything that is offered too much is not good including dog food. And with regard to foods, you need not forget that your pooch is still a dog with different nutritional requirements and there are some ingredients that are not advisable to be eaten by your pet. If you only meant well without thinking about the possible consequences, be reminded of the following point. First, it is not advisable to feed your pooch with food scraps. Feed your pup before you eat your own meal so that it will no longer linger under your table wishing for more.
If you want your pet to be healthy don't feed it with commercial dog food. These contain harmful substances which can make your pooch sick in the long run. You do not save anything when you buy something commercial because the money not spent today will definitely be spent sometime in the future with a bigger chunk. Some human foods are not made to be eaten by animals including among others are chocolate, macadamia nuts, grapes, and corn. Second, train your pet not to accept dog food from strangers. There are people who give food to animals because they feel pity for it, especially when the animal is so lean and has been deprived by food for days.
However there are also those who might have a hidden agenda with regard to animals. Your pup might be a victim if it eats anything which contains poison. Start the training with your family. Tell them not to give your pup any dog food or treat at any time of the day and when you go for a walk make sure that it is not hungry so that it won't accept any foods from strangers. Third, secure your garbage bins. Dogs have that fondness for trash and they love to explore waste baskets for fun. Your pooch might eat something unwanted from the trash which can make it sick.
Be a responsible dog owner and learn that sometimes it is for your pet's advantage when you don't allow it to eat dog food scraps
