  1. The temptation to “love” your pet more by giving them table scraps is a difficult one to avoid as a pet owner.

    BUT, dogs easily get pancreatitis and other intestinal disorders when this is a daily practice, just ask us how we know.

    We just put our dog down in October and I decided our next pet will not be allowed in the kitchen when we are eating.

    Healthy animal munchies are good to keep around as an occasional treat but adult dogs do not require that much food. Good quality dry food will prevent tooth loss and bad breath. Just my .02 Cents
