Question
QUESTION: i had a toy poodle for 13 years and she had to be put down because of cancer we got a new one and my husband beleives that me feeding her some table food like pork, cheese, etc. will kill her like my first poodle do u think it will?

ANSWER: Hi Angie,
Your poodle lived a nice long life of 13 years.  I don't think that eatting meat or cheese caused her cancer or shortened her life at all.  It's not going to hurt a thing and I like to share with my dogs ;0)
