Dogs do plenty for their humans, but the best part of owning a dog is the assistance you get for after-dinner cleanup and toddler feeding time. Life without a dog tends to be much more sticky. Sure, there is more to vacuum, but food messes are a thing of the past.

Be aware your living floor cleaner can’t partake in all that may fall off the table. You could be hounded by the veterinarian about letting your dog eat people food. Since the list of things you aren’t supposed to feed your canine companions is so extensive, let’s review a few you ARE allowed to feed them.
