If you’re like most pet owners, sometimes you want to liven up your dog’s meals a bit. After all, variety is the spice of life, right?
Fortunately, there are lots of human foods that you can safely feed your dog — in addition to his normal dog food.
Unfortunately, many of those human foods aren’t technically considered healthy food for dogs.

- Pumpkin – freshly mashed or from a can, but not pumpkin pie filling.
- Leafy Greens – yep, dogs need their greens too!
