Be smart about what you are feeding your dog. I don't know about your dog, but Luna gets a lot of table scraps. And this list can be very helpful to know what is and isn't good to feed your dog.
Here's a list of more foods that are good and bad:
DO feed your dog:
- Peanut Butter (DUH)
- Cooked Chicken
- Cheese (except I know Luna can only have a little because it makes her really gassy)
- Baby Carrots
- Yogurt (with NO artificial sweetners, so like plain yogurt)
- Salmon
- Pumpkin
- Eggs (scrambled or hard boiled)
- Green Beans (Luna LOVES these)
- Apple slices (no pit or seeds for dogs)
- Oatmeal
- Flaxseed
- Sweet Potatoes
- Brewer's Yeast
- Rice (white rice is good for when they have diarrhea, brown rice on the other hand softens their poop)
- Squash
- Popcorn
- Lean Meat
- Liver
- Pineapple
- Cottage Cheese
- Parsley
- Peas
DO NOT feed your dog:
- Avocado
- Bread Dough
- Chocolate (DUH)
- Grapes
- Raisins
- Hops
- Macadamia Nuts
- Moldy Food (how about just don't feed your dog things you wouldn't eat yourself)
- Onions
- Garlic
- Xylitol
- Caffeine
- Any Fruits with Pits
- Gum
- Milk/Dairy (can cause diarrhea)
Of course you should always talk to your Vet, to make sure these are okay. And when you do give your dog these food items, make sure you pay attention to their behaviors and bodily functions. I know for a fact that Luna does not do well with cottage cheese or other dairy products, and also pumpkin has a bad reaction to her system. Just take notes and be aware of what your dog is eating.
