Feeding Your Dog Table Food

Feeding your dog Table Food: A Bad Idea?
If you are debating whether to feed your dog table food as opposed to dog food, you should first consider the pros and cons before making this decision. There are many benefits to feeding your dog table food instead of dog food. The easiness of this type of feeding is one of the most popular reasons why people like to feed their dog table food instead of dog food. Not only is it easier to remember exactly when to feed your dog, but it is also easier to clean up, and you feel like you aren't wasting any leftover food. Another benefit of doing this instead of using dog food is that it is likely much cheaper. You probably only feed your dog the same amount of food you would have otherwise thrown out, so it doesn't cost you any more to feed them table food, and you are saving on the cost of dog food. There are negatives to this type of feeding, though.
One of the first and foremost things that should be considered when comparing table food to dog food is that your pet may get used to table food, and you may no longer be able to convince them to eat their dog food is that it will become increasingly more difficult to sit down and eat without your dog harassing you for food. If they have never tasted table food, their dog food in their bowl will usually be enough. However, if you sit down to eat in the living room or at the table, your dog may be at your feet begging you for something other than dog food. So consider carefully should you decide to use table food for your dog again. Not only are they offered a variety of flavors that they simply can't receive through dog food , but the texture is different, and this may be appealing to them.
One of the other downsides to using table food as dog food is that it will become increasingly more difficult to sit down and eat without your dog harassing you for food. If they have never tasted table food, their dog food in their bowl will usually be enough. However, if you sit down to eat in the living room or at the table, your dog may be at your feet begging you for something other than dog food.
