 SAFE FOODS 
Some “human” foods are good for dogs. Most of these are healthier than the boxed treats you buy in the grocery store.
____________________________________
This is just a small list of examples of foods dogs can eat, not a list of every food they should eat.
Dogs won’t necessarily get all the nutrients they need if they eat these foods exclusively, so check with your veterinarian if you are interested in feeding your dog a home cooked diet.
Any food that causes stomach upsets or digestive problems in your dogs should be avoided. Like people, some dogs cannot tolerate certain foods even if they are considered "safe".
____________________________________
Meats:
Meats should be boneless and it’s best if the skin is removed.
Skinless, boneless chicken breast
Skinless, boneless turkey breast
Boneless fish
Beef Liver
Chicken Livers
~
Raw meat holds a small risk of food poisoning and parasites.

Vegetables:
Carrots
Green Beans
Lettuce
Potatoes
Yams
Red and green bell peppers
~
Dogs have shorter digestive tracts than humans and cannot digest most vegetables whole or in large chunks. It’s best to put them through a food processor before giving them to your dog

Grains:
Rice
Bread
Oats
~
Grains should not be given in large amounts or make up a large part of a dog’s diet, but these foods are generally safe in small amounts
____________________________________
Dairy products:
Use caution with dairy products as they are high in fat and can cause pancreatitis, gas and diarrhea. Usually, nonfat plain yogurt is safe in small amounts

When in doubt, call your veterinarian
