Dog Food Joke
Posted in Pets on 09/02/2011 04:22 am by admin
Am I cruel for not feeding my dog human food?
My Pomeranian constantly whines at the dinner table every time food is out. We occasionally give her a piece of fruit and not even from the table, but nothing more. The rule is no human food. But one night my Dad invited his girlfriend over for dinner, and my dog was whining her head off, thinking a new guest would be an easier target to manipulate. So my Dad’s girlfriend asked if she could give my dog something from the table. I said no, and she called me cruel. It was hard to tell if she was joking, but, it got me thinking, is it really so cruel not to give my dog human food? My dog gets two meals: a wet food meal in the morning and a dry food meal at night. She gets plenty of attention, and she has her own tasty chicken flavored biscutes. So, is it wrong for me not to feed my dog human food? Opinions?
You would be cruel if you did give her human food. With some larger dogs a few scraps here and there is not going to make much of a difference. But with a tiny dog like a pom, a few “bites” can disrupt the nutritional balance of the diet. The GF is ignorant and a pushover. Your dog does need to learn to not beg. My poms are not even allowed to look at us when we are eating. Whining at the table is bad manners on the dogs part.
On a side note, your Dad should have backed you up or even better, told her no before you had to answer.
