Why do dogs prefer human food to dog food?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Basically, if you're enjoying something, they'd like to enjoy it with you. Plus, their interest is almost always piqued when they see you sitting down with something that looks and smells more appetizing than the hard food in their bowl. Dogs also love human food for the same reasons we do - the taste! 28 мая 2021 г.


Is it better to give dog human food or dog food?

A dog's digestive system is different from a human's. Typical human food is much too rich and fatty for a dog to properly digest; eating it can lead to vomiting, diarrhea and even more severe conditions like pancreatitis. Many human foods also contain an unhealthy amount of sodium for dogs.

Do dogs like the taste of human food?

When it comes to the dog's ability to taste, they do share in the ability to sense sweet, sour, bitter and salty. Because their diets are so heavily meat-reliant, they are sensitive to salt. It's not a good idea to share salty food with your dog.
