Why is it that human food makes my dogs sick?

All dogs are supposed to eat just plain nutritious dog food. Human food is basically like candy for children once they eat they wont stop begging for more. Human food has a lot of harsh factors that dogs are not used to and it can cause them to become severely sick. Just like human food a lot of dog food you buy at the regular stores are even worse for dogs. If you look on the ingredients of almost every store brand dog food you will see "Corn" or "Puree" in the first 6 ingredients. Which are both reasons your dog may poop a lott or be hungry all the time. Try telling your mother than only rice or whole wheat is the only thing you can give your dog, and go to your local pet store and ask them what kind of dog food they have doesn't have corn in the first six ingredients. It may be expensive to do this but it is the same way for children You wouldn't give your newborn a hamburger to eat would you?

One of my dogs (german shepherd) can eat almost any human food (chicken breast, roast beef/steak, carrots, bananas, etc.). My other dog (labrador retriever) has a sensitive stomach and can't eat any human food. So I guess it depends on the dog. Ask your vet for some advice - if your 9/10 week old pup has worms it could be from something else.

The pizza, bologna and hamburger have more fat than some dogs can digest. Dogs cannot digest vegetables unless the fiber is broken down by cooking until it is mushy, or running it through a food processor. That is the reason you may see pieces of undigested vegetable in the feces. Excess fat in the food can lead to problems with the liver and pancreas.

well dog food is mostly pretty healthy for a dog and human food for example hamburgers have a lot of grease and its the same with humans if you eat healthy for a month and then eat 2 pieces of pizza youll feel sick because your body isnt used to it... but rice is actually really good for dogs so thats ok

Sorry but dogs ore not carnivores they are omnivores. Human foods are for humans, thats why they get sick. If your mom insists on feeding the dogs human food then give her a list of things she can and cannot feed. I don't understand your 'green hair' reference

She can give them the rice and veggies but not other stuff, there's too much fat content in it for her sensitive stomach. She must be a small dog because big dogs can eat anything most of the time.

Small dogs have very sensitive stomachs. Good luck with your mom.

Well when your dog gets pancreatis and dies then you can tell your Mom, I told you so!! I hate it when people disrespect you and still do what you ask them not to do.

I would tell my Mom that the dog can no longer be around her because she is killing the dog. The dog will get fat and that kills them faster, he will also develop fatty tumors on his body, and yes the pancreatis is a horrible and painful way to die.

Okay, with that said, if you cannot keep her away from your dog, then give her treats that the dog can eat and that she can feed him. If she still insists on giving it pizza and God knows what else, then tell her she cannot be around the dog anymore for it's own good.

And be firm about it, after all the dog depends on you to protect it from harm.

Rice, Vegetables and lean Meats are fine for dogs. Tell your Mom, to please not feed them Pizza, and junk food, but only good healthy foods as a treat now & again, but not all the time, as it makes them sick! Show her the yucky poops in the yard, and maybe she will listen to you! Good Luck!!

Human food has too much fat and sugars in it for a dog's system.
