what can dogs eat?

why not chocolate?

i see tv/movies where the owners just let the dog eat off their plate. isnt that bad?

If you have a dog, I'd feed it mainly dry dog food, because the canned food is generally unhealthy, and can be deadly.

Chocolate is harmful for dogs, and not for people, because chocolate contains lots of caffeine, and humans can endure the effects of caffeine, but since dogs have smaller bodies and such, the caffeine in chocolate and coffee makes their hearts beat to fast, leading to heart attacks.

I wouldn't recommend letting dogs eat table scraps, because they aren't used to "people food", so it's unhealthy for them, because it leads too obesity and other diseases.
