Human Foods You Can Share With Your Pet

Pets are widely considered an important member of the family. Most homeowners are conscious about their pets and are always seeking different dog foods that are beneficial to their health. When it comes to human foods, most people don’t know what exactly is safe and healthy for their dog and what is not.

We are not recommending that you switch your dog’s diet to strictly human food, but if you ever need to coax them into taking their medication or just want to give them a treat every once in a while, these food items will do the trick without causing any harm or negative health effects. It is important, of course, to remember that the key to treating your furry friend with human food is balance, moderation and careful attention to any side effects you see after offering any food outside of their normal diet.

So if you want to share your food with your pup, here are a few snacks that are safe and healthy!

Carrots

Baby carrots are a super easy snack that is very healthy as well. A fresh raw carrot is a great antioxidant packed substitution for a calorie dense dog treat bought at grocery stores.

 Green beans

Green beans are the ideal food as they’re both low in calories and high in nutrient value. They are loaded with vitamins and fiber, making your pup feel fuller longer. Make sure to serve them without salt.

Berries

Most dogs love sweet treats and berries are very healthy for your four-legged friend. Berries contain a good amount of antioxidants, which will benefit their health.

 Bananas

This yellow fruit is another great treat for your pup, as they’re loaded with potassium and fiber and will provide your furry friend with extra nutrients and energy.
