what else do you guys feed your babies on along with their regular food. bailey gets the odd apple, some cheese, and hes had some mince, and some veg a few times too. im always dubious about giving him 'human' foods. he also loves his peanut butter kongs too!!!!

I feed a range of meats, fish, fruits (Henri loves apples in particular), the occassional veges, cottage cheese, eggs and yoghurt :)

I don't feed kibble though... ;)

Sure, a little fruit daily is fine - as long as it's in moderation (meaning not the same fruit every day, and not more than one or two pieces). Just a few things to be aware: don't feed grapes, apple seeds can be toxic (so either take the core out, or give sparingly the sorts of apples that don't have many seeds), likewise the stones of things like plums, peaches and apricots should be removed.

There's a lot of information on feeding fruits and veges in the BARF forum, if you want to check that out :)

I don't add anything to my dogs' food. They get a very high quality kibble and it is nutritionally complete, human grade food. I feel there is no need. My dogs are healthy, happy and full of life and energy. No medical problems or weight problems (although Susie sometimes gains a little too much because she's such a "couch potato). Just came from the vet a few days ago and she again remarked how healthy my dogs are and how beautiful their coats and eyes are, all clear and shiney.

I give them all kinds of different stuff....salmon, tuna, eggs, cheese, fruits, cottage cheese, ground turkey (cooked), and cream of wheat for breakfast.
I do not feed them this stuff everyday, just once in a while for a treat.
Arley also likes stale bagels!! (hard as a rock ones) He carries them around for half the day and then he eats themsmashicon

I feed all kinds of stuff too. Substitute fruits and veggies for treats, and my pup really like them.

i.e.) Carrots, Broccoli, Cottage Cheese, Non fat plain yogurt, dill pickles, tomatos etc....

I don't feed any "table scraps" or left over food that I eat.
