Why You Should Never Feed Your Dog Table Food: Here's What Happens If You Make the Mistake Even Once
Let's imagine a situation: you sat down at the table and started to have lunch or dinner. And then a dog comes up to you.
The pet starts looking at you with a pleading look. It immediately becomes clear that the animal is asking to share the treat with it.
In a situation like this, it’s hard to refuse a four-legged friend, right?
And yet, one must show integrity: one cannot make concessions to a “beggar.”
Why You Shouldn't Feed Your Dog Table Food
Many people believe: “Nothing bad will happen if I give my dog a little of my food once.”
In fact, just one such mistake is enough for unpleasant consequences to make themselves known.
The dog will most likely perceive the treat not just as a meal, but also as a “reward” (remember how we give our pet treats during training, “rewarding” the animal for correctly executed commands).
Perhaps the dog will come to the conclusion that his long stay at the table and pleading look is the behavior that suits the owner.
Don't want your dog to "beg"? Never, under any circumstances, give him your food during breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Also keep in mind that eating both dry food and human food can negatively affect the functioning of your four-legged friend’s digestive system.
