Before you say anything, there are actually people who would purchase a piece of salmon just like this, for their dog. Not me, but I know people who do! And if you do have salmon leftover that you can't eat, what better place to put it than on doggo's plate?Giving food scraps to your dog is a great way to simultaneously reduce your waste output and make your dog’s day. For dogs, not all food scraps are created equal, so here is my personal go to list to help you decipher what is okay and what is not.As a general rule, scraps that are safe and delicious include:

If your dog has managed to scoff one of these things off the bench or your toddler has shared some of his favourite chocolate, it's probably fine just to just keep an eye on the dog. (With grapes and grape products like raisins, that would be a very close eye.)We would just point out, in case it isn't entirely obvious, that I am a dog lover, not veterinarian, so if you are concerned about anything, do some more research or talk to your real veterinarian.

Seaweed paper is a great idea! My dog is always up to lick the peanut butter off a spoon! Wednesday, 10 June 2015

If you need to give your dog any tablets and are struggling to do so, peanut butter or vegemite are good. First give your dog some peanut butter or vegemite by itself, either off your finger or in their food bowl. Then, cover the tablet in peanut butter or vegemite and feed it to your dog. Having had the peanut butter or vegemite first they are happy to have it the second time without being too wary about it.
