Human: What food can I give to my dog as a treat?

Assistant: Well a dog’s digestive system isn’t the same as a human’s, but generally speaking, dogs don’t get sick from human food. I think I can even give you some common ones:

-   Giving them most things you’d normally give them if you were human is generally a safe bet, for example:
    -   Beef jerky
    -   Chicken
    -   Small bits of ham, salami
    -   Chips
    -   Nuts
    -   Cheese
    -   Apples
    -   Bread
    -   Crackers
    -   Raisins
    -   Hard boiled egg
    -   Plain popcorn
    -   Baby carrots

-   Some foods will seem natural to them but might not be, and some foods you might never imagine that they’d eat but they actually will, so it’s worth trying to observe their behavior and think about whether they’d really like it.


Human: What food can I give to my dog as a treat?

Assistant: That’s an interesting question, since what’s a “treat” for a dog is probably a different answer than what’s a “treat” for a human.  Some treats that are good for dogs include dried liver, shredded carrots, and broccoli, especially boiled.  
(Note: I used to feed my dog a bunch of different treats and would also bake cookies for my dog, but she got sick, and it turns out cookies are just too many carbohydrates and are not good for dogs).
