Be careful how you utilize your living floor cleaner. You may get hounded by the veterinarian over letting your dog eat people food. The list of foods you aren’t supposed to feed your dog is so long, it may be easier to list the human food you ARE allowed to feed them. Let’s try it.

Human Foods to Feed Your Dog That Won't Get You a Glare From Your Vet

Apples are good for fiber, fun for crunchy chewing, and can help make dog breath better. That’s always a bonus. Just core ‘em and take out seeds.

Fresh berries are good. Don’t overdo it, or you’ll pay later. Frozen fresh with no added sugar could be a nice cooling summertime treat.

Broccoli is a superfood for both humans and dogs. Just don’t let the kids know the dog is allowed to have it. Mysterious disappearing food may happen soon thereafter.

Cooked corn on the cob is good for fiber and carbs. Just don’t let Fido munch on the cob too long, it could be a choking hazard.

Eggs are a great source of all sorts of good stuff. Just don’t serve them raw, cooked without added flavoring or grease is fine for your pup.

Kale, Spinach, and other leafy greens are healthy for dogs. Next time you go to the buffet, steal a few garnishes for when you can slip them into your dog’s bowl.

My husband’s overly pampered chi-weenie has been in heaven ever since he found out she can share his popcorn. He pops it and sets aside some for her without salt. Then they eat on the couch while they watch TV.

Plain potatoes are good if peeled and baked or boiled. Pity. My dog loves potato peels while I’m preparing dinner.

Pumpkin is perfect raw or cooked, just nix the seeds. They’re hard to digest.

Tomatoes are just fine for your pooch. Raw or cooked, it doesn’t matter. Snack away.

Cooked zucchini is great. Also, an awesome way to get rid of the surplus that always seems to happen after Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor’s Porch Day.

What do dogs eat for breakfast? Pooched eggs.
