This probably applies to other animals kept as pets, but right now I'll talk about dogs.
I think dogs deserve to eat real, varied food instead of the same industrial feed every single day. Have you noticed how they always seek "human" food, even when they might already have food in their bowl? I think they just don't want to eat the same processed crap everyday! They want real food! I think the fact that they would do anything for a miserable pizza border is proof enough.
That's it, I just felt like I needed to tell someone. Thanks for reading, and apologies if the post sounds angry or something, remaking the post now would be too much work 😩
Hi I'm Hexbear's resident veterinarian!
While it's fine to very your dog's diet and provide some dietary enrichment, commercially formulated foods exist to meet your dogs nutritional needs safely and consistently. Commercial dog food is "real food."
It is typically NOT SAFE to feed your dog (or cat) an exclusively home cooked diet, as this drastically increases the risk of heart disease, metabolic bone disease, kidney disease, etc. Additionally, raw diets are associated with increased risks of infection and zoonosis.
If you are interested in home cooked diet you should always consult a board certified veterinary nutritionist.
