Sharing food with Fido

Dogs are not shy about begging. It’s in their nature, particularly when you eat something in front of them. Hard to ignore. But a lot of the food humans consume are not good for dogs.

Here’s a list of foods that are safe to share with our canine buds:

Yogurt without sugar or artificial sweeteners; cooked salmon, which is good for the immune system, skin and coat; sweet potatoes, sliced and dehydrated; apples (be careful because the seeds contain cyanide); popcorn that’s air-popped without butter or salt (offers potassium, phosphorous, magnesium and calcium); and green beans, which provide plant fiber and manganese to help maintain proper weight for hefty dogs. And, of course, there’s good old peanut butter, a high-protein treat that offers entertainment for the owner who watches the determined licking that follows a dog’s consumption of the stuff.
