Your dog loves to be right by your side, and this is particularly true when you are munching on something tasty. His behavior when this happens will depend on what you determine is acceptable in your household, so decide this up front and be consistent.

If you don’t mind sharing food with your pet, you may not mind him making it known that he would like a taste. You may offer him portions of your meal that are safe for him to consume from time to time. However, if you would rather he not beg at the table and let your family eat without interruption, you will need to make sure no one is feeding him food off their plates. Whatever you decide is right for your household should be a group decision in order to make sure everyone is on board with the plan. For more information, please consult your vet Lansing, MI.
