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 😩

    Dogs will seek and beg for anything, even if it isn't food, or even if it will straight kill them. They just see you have some, and they would like some too.

    I don't think my dog is begging for chocolate, grapes, and onion. They just see me eating it, and they would very much like me to share some of my prized catch with the rest of the pack.

    Other then that, dogs should not be eating 95% of human food, even "natural and organic" stuff. Do heavy research into whatever you are giving your dog, and for the love of god don't just give them kibble. Do what Last Year recommended by mixing up their food. But do not assume that just because we can eat it, they can to.

    A lot of food that you think might be good for dogs, or are extremely healthy for humans, can seriously harm, kill, or do nothing for a dog in terms of health.
