People love their dogs a lot. According to the American Pet Products Association, America spent almost 60 billion dollars on pet products in 2017. A huge portion of this money was on feeding their canine family. What if we told you that there are amazing foods that you and your dog can both enjoy? We have 5 healthy and safe “human” foods that canines love:

1. Peanut butter
The most common foods that dogs and humans share a love for is peanut butter. Peanut butter has good benefits for both including protein, healthy fats, and tons of vitamins. Also, what is more fun than seeing a cute doggie struggle to get peanut butter off of a Kong or their nose?

One way to spice up peanut butter is to make it into dog treats. You can put it into cute paw print molds and freeze them. When you want to reward your furry friend for a job well done or just because they have a treat waiting on them. And no, they won’t get it stuck on their nose.

2. Cooked chicken
Are you having chicken for dinner tonight? Your doggie would also be able to enjoy with the family. Cooked chicken for dogs is a great protein source for them as well, and many people give it to their dogs a few times a week as a break from their regular food. If you are going to give your furry friend some cooked chicken, just remember to put a piece to the side that isn’t going to be seasoned. While humans enjoy different types of seasoning on our taste buds, dogs do not. In fact, their noses are sensitive to smells and they might even bark at overly seasoned chicken in their eyes.

3. Baby carrots
Humans enjoy snacking on delicious baby carrots, and now your dog can too! While it is okay to give dogs raw because it can also help clean their teeth, it is best to give them mostly cooked baby carrots to make sure they can get all the benefits because they lack all the enzymes to break them down completely. Unseasoned, or course.

4. Green beans
Green beans are one of the most popular veggies. While many dog foods do not feature green beans, it is totally safe to give them. Green beans are not only packed with flavor but nutrition as well. Iron and vitamins, such as vitamin C are among the many different benefits that dogs can get from them. Another added benefit is that dogs can consume green beans in any form as long as they are plain with no seasonings. In fact, veterinarians also, recommend them as a healthy snack alternative.

5. Pumpkin
Although it may sound strange, pumpkin is good for a dog’s body and taste buds. Pumpkin gives dogs benefits like helping with diarrhea and their GI tract. In fact, it is good to give your dog a little pumpkin daily in their food if they summer with digestion problems. Don’t worry about your dog eating it, they will love it!
