I also give my babies pureed pumpkin, apples, green beans and I freeze yogurt mixed with a mashed banana in ice cube trays and give them those.  I give them to them with their kibble.  I give a scoop of kibble with a few beans or apple bits or whatever.  I think they deserve a little treat.  I wouldn't want to eat the same boring thing every day.  Besides, it does feel so good to spoil them just a little!!

My Ein and Brian looove ice cubes too!  I also give them "empty" jars of peanut butter or yogurt so they can get the last of it before I toss it out.

Your "people" food handouts are hardly sinful!  I can think of much worse (bacon and beer maybe). It's fun to watch them enjoy some extra goodness now and then.  JF and Dewi get googly-eyed over orange sections, of all things.  Heaven help them when I bring out the yogurt and pumpkin. :)

It's all good in moderation!

I read a very easy to follow guideline… If you wouldn’t give it to your frail grandmother…don’t give it to your dog.

I let my girl  have small amounts of lean meats… and vegetables. (Vegetables…that I know to be safe for dogs.)

I do cut back on her dog food a bit to compensate.

Don’t worry…healthy food choices once in a while won’t heart them.

Hah!  Mine are soooo spoiled.  I buy them tinned sardines and salmon.    I buy they plain unflavored yogurt and reduced fat cottage cheese.  And canned pumpkin and green beans.  I think this summer I might start saving the "squished" blueberries--- the bad-looking but non-moldy ones--- and freeze them to add to their food.   They sometimes get banana too.

 

In summer, I will get a container of plain yogurt, a mashed banana, a tablespoon or two of peanut butter, and mash it all up in a bowl.  I portion it out in an icecube tray and freeze them, then they get one each when they come home from a walk.    Everything I give them is good for them.   Personally I'd rather by a mid-price kibble and add in "real" food than pay for the top-of-the-line kibble.

Mine now how a "second dinner" usually apples, bananas, carrots, pumpkin, frozen green beans. They get breakfast at 545, now lunch at 1 and then a snack at 7.

It is because the corgis use "the power of their minds" to overcome us. :o).

I don't feed people food often but I don't have a problem with it...even the bad stuff as mine love cheese. We all have our days and a little bit for special treats is fine. Another easy thing you can do is freeze the treats in ice cube trays and then put in a baggie:)
