Should Dogs and Cats Consume Table Scraps? Understanding the Pros and Cons of Feeding Your Pets Leftovers

It is generally not recommended for cats and dogs to eat table scraps as a regular part of their diet. Table scraps often lack the proper balance of nutrients that cats and dogs need to maintain good health, and they can also lead to weight gain and other health problems if fed in excess. Additionally, certain human foods can be toxic to pets. It is best to stick to a well-balanced and complete diet specifically formulated for cats and dogs. However, small amounts of table scraps as a treat occasionally may be fine as long as the food is safe for them to consume and is not harmful to their health. It is important to consult with a veterinarian before making any changes to your pet's diet.
