Is it bad to feed dogs cooked meat?

Question

My dad feeds my dog cooked meat and human food such as eggs, bacon, chicken, steak, salads, left over potatoes, and it drives me crazy because he thinks that the dog is being abused if he eats dry dog food, I truly believe that he's killing my dog because my dog was having the runs yesterday and throwing up and I know it's because of my dad, he's so thick headed!

Answer 1

MY DAD DOES THE SAME THING it drives me crazy, i cant get him to stop doing this. the cooked meat is ok but the salad potatoes and other c**p gives my dog, a Rottweiler  the runs and it makes a big mess. i give my dog dry dog food with 2 cans of beef n gravy,or chicken and gravy, or steak and gravy mixed in.

Answer 2

table food will do to your dog what it does to you ..

Answer 3

Too much table food is not good for him in so many ways.  How about a compromise:  

Ask Dad to put leftovers the dog can have in a container in the Fridge.  Pick out the fatty fried foods and toss them when dad is not around.  Use the rest of the leftovers as treats when the dog is good, preferably when dad can feel he is spoiling the dog.    Toss everthing out in a bag after two days.  Dad thinks he is not wasting food anymore so he feels good, you keep the dog from eating tons of junk, the dog gets a little tasty food that is healthy.  

You know about chocolate but onions, organ meat fat, salt and tomatoes are also bad.  Most nuts are bad, salad dressing is a no-no.  

Answer 4

Some dogs can tollerate eating Human foods thats all my dog ate for 14 years then he passed away and i dont think the food had anything to with it.

Answer 5

kick his *ss.

your dog will continue to throw up and get very fat.

Answer 6

I'm fine with cooked meat, that's even healthy and nutritious! But dog shouldn't get huge amounts of bacon, avoid giving him potatoes...

Dog isn't a container, cooked food is good, but it must be regulated, you have to know, what is good, what not and in what amounts...

Answer 7

Tell him to stop feeding the dog. Treats are OK occasionally, but like anything, too much is a bad thing.
