Can I feed my Shih tzu puppy real food?

Answer by  annie52foof (1459)

Yes, as long as you don't feed him processed human food. This means cooking wholesome food for your dog. Some of the best examples to prepare are, liver, heart, brain, chicken breast, lean hamburger, lamb, fish, and vegetables such as potatoes, brocoli and carrots. Also rice and pasta.

That particular breed is picky and will stop eating dog food if they get too many table scraps. Look online or ask your dog's Vet for a list of foods that are dangerous for dogs. Some foods actually are fatal to dogs. Since yours is small the amounts are smaller.

Dog food is formulated to meet your dog's nutritional needs. The same isn't true for what humans eat. Also note: onions, grapes, and chocolate are poisonous to dogs.

I'm researching all the bad food for my shih tzu (so I don't feed him those) & home cooking w/ a balanced diet. I think dog food is overrated and after reading all the horror on fillers, euthanized pets, and 4Ds (Diseased, Dying, etc) animals, no more dog food!

Human food is not good for dogs. A scrap of meat now and again is ok but stay away from processed foods like hot dogs.
