## πΆ About Foods Dogs Can Eat:
All foods should be given in moderation. Avoid overfeeding, especially if it's the first time. Test with small amounts to check for allergies or any adverse reactions. Steam vegetables and meat for better nutrient retention than boiling.
## πΆ About Foods Dogs Should Not Eat:
Discussing toxicity without considering the dosage is unreliable. Some people might wonder why their dogs seem fine after occasionally eating prohibited foods. This is because the ingested amount did not reach toxic levels. Each dog is different, with varying tolerances. If your dog accidentally eats something it shouldn't, there's no need to panic. Just monitor its bowel movements. However, these foods shouldn't be given regularly as they pose risks when accumulated over time.
