[QUOTE="donna723, post: 32280, member: 1883"] Nancy, it probably wouldn't be good for them if you gave them leftovers or table scraps that had been cooked to human tastes. But this is fresh meat cooked with no salt or other seasonings that people would want, and I drained all the fat off, then added the plain unseasoned drained mixed veggies right out of the can. And tomorrow morning I will scramble three eggs (approx. one each) and mix them in, and put this with their dry food. Probably very bland for human tastes, but I gave them a sample and they loved it! My middle "child", Ragan, was in the kitchen when I was cooking this up and begging for a taste. I gave her a tiny bite of raw ground turkey ... she didn't like it. She walked around with it in her mouth for a few minutes and then patooied it out on the dining room carpet. She loves it cooked though. I think the problem with giving dogs "human food" is probably that it is so high in fat, salt and other seasonings. And I wouldn't give them "prepared" food intended for humans. I know a lady who fed her Chihuahua exactly what she ate, no dog food at all, and on his steady diet of pizza and canned spaghetti his weight was twice what it should have been (hers too! and he almost died of pancreatitus! But I don't think that giving them the foods, just fresh meats and vegetables in "pure" form would hurt them. I'm not sure how many eggs are "too many" for a dog but they're good for their skin and coat. If the truth be known, we've probably been feeding our dogs and cats healthier food all along than what we've been eating ourselves! I have yet to see a dog or cat chowing down on a triple-decker bacon cheeseburger and large fries! Not that they wouldn't want to ..... [/QUOTE]
