Dogs eating human food occasionally,Good/Bad?

Every now and then Greg gets a little human food mixed with or for his dinner.
Its only ever things like rice/scrambled egg/roast chicken/fresh cooked veg.
Nothing ever fried/processed. If I mix it with his dinner I adjust the amount of his normal food so hes not having too much.
Its never a set thing so he doesnt get used to it, in my opinion its just a nice treat maybe twice/ 3 times a month max.
A friend thinks this will lead to behavour problems because in her opinion he is spoilt!

What does everyone else think???

I think your friend needs to chill

My crew get some of what I eat regularly, [ so long as its dog safe obviously ], get to `clean` plates for me, or what I have used to cook in on the rare occasions that I do cook anything - great for shifting hard bits which makes the proper washing up a lot easier

Are they about to take over the world as a result ? Of course not :smt005
Not right now at least, they are too busy snoozing

I think your friend is overeacting slightly, i often leave a bit of meat or fish for Toby,sometimes i may even cook an extra sausage specially for him. A bit of a treat never harms anyone and thats including dogs

Shhhh dont tell anyone, but sometimes he has a sweetie of me erm not that i eat sweets often of course

I give mine special additions of human food ( -Dog safe stuff of course) -on the odd occasion as a treat and I do not consider they are spoiled. I too think you friend is over-reacting a liTTLE
