Question
hi!
what type of human food are dogs allowed to eat? what are human food that dogs aren't allowed to eat?

Answer
One of the worst things is grapes and raisins.  Only a few are enough to kill some dogs.  Xylitol, an artificial sweetener in sugarless gums, is terrible.  In addition to the well known chocolate, is onions.  Almonds are bad.  Some say carrots are good, but others say bad.  I don't try to remember what is good and bad.  Dogs don't need any human food.  The modern chows are carefully formulated to give dogs exactly the complete and balanced diet they  need.  Adding human food at best can only mess up the careful balance.  Just feed your dog its kibble and don't worry about it.
