9. Feeding Them Human Food

Humans seem to love sharing their food with their dogs. While this is fine in principle, we should think about exactly what we’re doing. If we are feeding a dog a balanced diet with sufficient nutrition and calories for his daily needs, he should not be given anything extra. This includes treats and titbits or leftovers from our own plates. Feeding our dog more than he needs will lead to weight gain and health problems. This is especially true in older dogs.

We should also learn which foods are dangerous for them. Several foods, while perfectly safe for humans are harmful for dogs.
