My dog is on a strict diet. He is spoiled though. I put mine in daycare while i'm at work. He is usually too tired to eat when I get him home.
We feed our little guys it all too, but not too much usually just a small taste. Their favorite is crab, they can smell it and go ape shit when we have it. They love cheese too. My wife regularly feeds them raw carrots because the vet says it's good for them to keep their weight stable.

Mr. Twiz gets a McDonalds double cheeseburger once a year after his annual visit to the vet. The rest of the time he is outside during dinner. Occasionally I'll throw a little roast beef his way.
Never...
When I was a kid the vet said that we helped our dog to a shorter life with all the scraps we feed her.
Just can't do it.
no begging and if I put a bone in the trash and go to work that bone will still be there when I get home.

My vet says I shouldn't but my whole family feeds dogs scraps and they all lived long lives.. My dogs will eat whatever I eat.. Drives my GF nuts sometimes but I had the dogs before her and probably after her too.:0corn

We don't feed our dogs table scraps, but we do supplement their diet often. For example, if we eat tuna or salmon or any other type of fish, we will often put small chunks in their food or even just the juice. The rescue organization "Pugs n Pals" where we recently found our second dog even suggested cooking ground meat and veggies at the beginning of the week and mixing it in with their dry food throughout the course of the week. As far as shortening their life and using table scrapps, I understand that a dogs pancreas can't handle what a humans can and it can lead to a lot of problems. I'm no expert, just food for thought....

Yes, but my dogs live outside and only get the scraps after I'm done. They don't beg because they don't watch me eat....
my dogs get it all. they even get mcdonalds sometimes. we can't even say the word mcdonalds because they go nuts. i know it's wrong but let them enjoy.
nice marine
totally agree. Part of the fun of having a dog is they are part of your family and eat what you eat and live inside.
It does encourage begging. That source you cited is absolutely correct. Is a dog begging bad?

I disagree with the big moose, which doesn't happen all that often. Dogs are meant to live outside. (Of course, I don't own a lap dog either.... My labs live outside and I doubt they'd like it inside unless it's cold and I do bring them in if its going to be extreme.)
That's the great thing about dogs as opposed to cats...they love me regardless.
edit: Keep in mind that I've always said that if I am reincarinated when I die, I want to come back as a rich man's dog.... Spoiled bastids. LOL My dogs have it pretty damn good.
