Does your pet eat veggies ?
This morning, a friend of mine posted on her Facebook page that her dog was unhappy because she was out of tomatoes, and that started me thinking about how some dogs (and cats) enjoy different foods, like veggies and maybe even fruit, and some only eat pet food.
I realized that while we think of some food as "people food" and other food as "pet food", our dog does not make that distinction. To my Chipper, all food is food, and it just depends on whether it is a food he likes or not.
I think that, to some extent at least, dogs are a lot like kids in that they learn to eat and enjoy the foods we expose them to. I had never thought of giving Chipper any tomato, since I presumed he would not like it; but now I see that it might just have been me thinking that, since Suzy's dog (Lilly) loves tomatoes.
I will try offering Chipper more of a variety, and see what other foods he enjoys. What foods do you feed your pet that are not usually fed to pets, and they like eating it ?
