But I do consistently recommend that human food is for humans and dog food is for dogs. I have a couple of reasons for doing this. One of them is that I expect my dogs to listen to me all the time, no matter what is going on, and not because they want my food. Food has one of the most primal meanings to a dog, they see me as the calm assertive pack leader who provides food, once they've earned it :) The other reason, and the above article is a great example, is that the "recommended/safe human food for dogs list" is constantly changing. I'd rather not take the risk of giving them something that is harmful, not to mention, boxers have weak digestive systems as it is. This is true, well I don’t “yell” at her.
