Carvey did do a great Bush 41 impression

Can’t feed the dog. It wouldn’t be prudent.

Feeding News!

You should not feed a dog human food. It will become accustomed to it and refuse to eat their dog food............

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Not at this juncture! ;)

In Ohio/Haiti, the dog feeds you.

“Human food” meaning what humans eat or food made from humans?

[Jamestown1630]

I’ve never known a dog to go off of dog food because he has a treat of human food now and then.

But you shouldn’t feed another person’s dog without asking first.

“...and refuse to eat their dog food...”

My training method works for both children and dogs. Stop feeding them for a few days. They’ll get right back on track. ;)

Signed, Meanest Mom Ever EVER!

(Just ask my kids and/or the Beagle.)

Just as you wouldn’t feed a stranger‘s child without permission.

Foods like table scraps. I had a dog that would actually starve herself rather than eat any kind of dog food. After that dog passed, I never again fed another dog we had any human foods at all. Never had another problem along those lines..............

noting in his defense that the dog was "so cute."

Red my lips...

[Red Badger]

I had a female dog that absolutely would starve herself rather than eat dog food...........Our next dog didn’t have that problem..................

[Fido969]

READ my lips...

If it’s that big a deal, maybe the dogs don’t have to be in the dining room during meals with guests in the first place.

[Red Badger]

True, he should have asked............

Dogs, like people, can have sensitivities to all kinds of things in manufactured food. (A lot of people make their own dog or cat food for that reason.)
