We all feed our dogs food we shouldn’t. Sometimes, we can’t help it, especially when they’re staring at us eat and crying for a piece. Still, there are some human foods dogs can enjoy without causing them harm.
1. Chicken
Chicken meat provides plenty of protein and nutrients for your dog. If you have a bit of raw chicken, you can serve it to your dog without any problem, either. However, just don’t feed your dog any cooked bones as cooked chicken bones splinter.
2. Sweet Potatoes
Whether steamed or bake, sweet potatoes come packed with digestible fiber and vitamin A. If you’re dog has a sensitive stomach, sweet potatoes make for one of the best human goods dogs can enjoy without irritating their stomach. Just please skip the seasoning, as any added pepper, oils or cinnamon can cause your dog harm.
3. Salmon
Rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, salmon provides a great meat alternative to chicken and beef. Even better, these same fatty acids can help your dog fight off arthritis as they age, ensuring joints don’t stiffen up. Just make sure to always properly cook the salmon, as raw fish can harm your dog.
4. Unsalted Peanut Butter
Not just a delicious snack for humans, but peanut butter is one of the best human foods a dog can enjoy. Each scoop contains loads of fiber and protein, and peanut butter is great for feeding your dog his vitamins without him knowing it.
5. Carrots and Apples
Carrots come loaded with vitamin A, while apples provide plenty of dietary fiber that’s great for your pet. Both provide a great daytime snack for both you and your pets.
