Is it okay to give your dog food from your table: what loving owners do

There are few dog owners who can resist giving their pet a tasty morsel from their table during dinner.
But how else can you act if huge eyes that seem about to fill with tears look at you pleadingly, a barely audible squeal is heard, and the tail is wagging from side to side at a furious speed?
But you still need to train your endurance: both yours and your pet's. Below you will find out why.
High nutritional value
You may find it easier to do this when you know that human foods are too nutritious for dogs and that overfeeding them can lead to health problems.
For example, a 17 kg pet only needs about 1,151 calories per day, which is about half the amount a human needs.
For example: 100 grams of the popular “Doctor’s” sausage contains about 257 calories.
A piece, as they say, for the tooth, and at the same time it contains as much as 22% of the daily requirement for a medium-sized dog.
Harmful to health
Also, many products that people often consume are harmful to dogs.
A striking example of this is yeast dough, which provokes bloating. Dairy products, the use of which can cause diarrhea in an animal, are on the same level.
It is also not recommended to give dogs chips, crackers and croutons, as the high salt content can cause vomiting, diarrhea, fever or even seizures.
What to feed a dog
To prevent health problems, it is better to use specialized dog food that contains all the necessary nutrients, vitamins and microelements.
