I don’t care what you think. My dogs are the healthiest, most pampered and cared for dogs. The only opinions I care about are people I know and the vets. Vets say they are very very healthy and not concerned at all so I will continue to feed human food alongside dog food

That doesn't mean it was good for them.

My grandparents lived to their 80s despite smoking all their lives, but you wouldn't take that as evidence that it's OK to give kids cigarettes. Same applies to giving dogs things that can poison them.

They’re very healthy thank you. I currently have a 17 year old and 15 year old, they’ve not been poisoned yet!

Well, you've been slowly poisoning your dogs

No I haven’t. They’re fine

My DH always does this and eats it, he won’t throw food away unless it stinks. He’s never been sick. I wouldn’t do it personally but then I don’t eat meat.

Thanks everyone (apart from those arguing about whether dogs can eat onions 😅)
I threw it away...I have a very sensitive constitution and have two little ones so not worth the risk!!
