Our lab lived to be 17 on a diet that was 75-80% scraps. Except onions. He loved the salad, but always left the onions. But then again, Buck would eat anything. Golf balls for example. One day we watched him lass 3 golf balls. Running, stopped, 3 quick plops and on his merry way. Loved that dog and miss so!

Our dachshund on the other hand doesn't eat scraps. But when we eat, he sits and stares as only dachshunds do and waits his turn. When we are finished he gets the healthy part of our dinner—chicken for example. But not steak. Love that dog, but not sharing my steak with him.

He eats Beyond brand, chicken flavor only. He thinks dog food is that “crap she gives me when she doesn't feel like cooking.” :). I am careful what kind of food I give him. Since he usually sleeps between my husband and me we don't want any doggie gas attacks (or worse) in the middle of the night.

When I was growing up scraps were what dogs ate. After dinner all the scraps (minus the dangerous stuff like chicken bones of course) and leftovers went to one plate and then from that plate to the dog's bowl. It was what everyone did back then.

The scraps of yesteryear were NOT like the scraps of today. Even the water quality is different. (GMOs, pesticides, fluoride, chlorine, antibiotics, etc.)
