The diet that is planned for the dogs should comprise of food products that are as healthy as possible to make sure of a long and happy life for our beloved pets. It can happen occasionally that dogs tend to eat from our plates or we happen to pass a morsel of what we eat to them. It can become a matter of life and death if something harmful is given to dogs. Therefore, a clear idea of what part of our diet is safe for the dogs to eat should be understood.

Following are some human foods that are safe for dogs:

• Cheese
  Given that the dog is not lactose intolerant, this can be a really good snack for the dog. To make sure that there is no problem, it would be better if the dog’s reaction to the consumption of cheese is tracked. In addition to that, it would be better if low-fat varieties of cheese are the ones given to dogs. As cheese is generally high in fat, it is not advisable to overfeed the dogs with this particular treat either. The best choice to go for here would be cottage cheese.
• Salmon
  Salmon is known to be a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids play an important role in keeping the dog’s coat shiny and healthy. In addition to that, omega-3 fatty acids also help in supporting the dog’s immune system. The salmon can be given in various forms. The salmon can be cooked and given to the dog. Some salmon oil can be added to the food bowl. Feeding the unwanted fish skins to the dog is also a great option.
• Oatmeal
  Oatmeal is rich in soluble fiber and can be particularly helpful to the dogs that are older and suffer from bowel irregularity problems. A lot of dogs can be allergic to gluten. Oatmeal can be a great replacement for grains in the case of these dogs. It should be cooked well before serving it to the dogs. No other additives to add flavor or sugar should be added to the oatmeal.
• Apple slices
  Apple slices can be helpful in multiple ways. Apple is considered to have a good amount of fiber content. They are rich in vitamins A and C as well. In addition to all this, apple slices can help in freshening the dog’s breath while also cleaning up any residue stuck between their teeth. However, it should be made sure that all the seeds and the core of the apple are properly removed before feeding the dog as these parts can become choking hazards.
• Peanut butter
  Peanut butter contains good protein content, healthy fats, vitamin E, vitamin B, and niacin. Therefore, it can be a great snack that keeps the dog occupied for hours. However, it would be best to choose raw and unsalted peanut butter. They shouldn’t be the “lite” or “sugar-free” versions with artificial sweeteners like xylitol as they can be extremely toxic for the dogs.
