Scrap the Scraps

Those soulful, pleading eyes may melt your heart, but it's best not to feed your dog human food. It can lead to canine obesity, intestinal upsets and nutritional imbalances. Unlike people, dogs are content eating a similar diet every day, especially if it offers the wide range of flavors and textures in Eukanuba® Dog Foods.

Another reason to avoid inappropriate feeding of human food is that some foods can be harmful or fatal to dogs, such as:

* Chocolate
* Onions
* Cooked bones

Good Foods:
Raw meat bones particularly beef bones and raw meat are part of a natural and necessary diet.
Raw poultry ie neck bones and carcasses are also good for the dogs.

Controlling Begging

If you allow begging at the table to start, soon every meal may be accompanied by whining and pawing. To help stop begging, eliminate all feeding from the table and follow these tips:

* Exercise your dog before mealtime, and feed him at the same time the family eats.
* Give him toys to play with while you're eating.
* Totally ignore the dog if the begging persists - don't even make eye contact.
* Confine him to his crate during family meals as a last resort.
