    A friend of mine has a dog with pancreatitis. Her vet told her that feeding people food can increase the chance of this condition. Scraps also contribute towards dogs being over weight. I read the other day in my vets that a single slice of toast to a dog is equivalent to a hamburger to a human. The trouble is as well, that people forget to reduce their dogs regular dinner to compensate for the scraps they have been given.

    That is true sajjw.
    Weight is a big issue with table scraps...
    We also had a dog with pancreatitis, she had to be put on a special diet.
    Little bits here and there are not an issue but fatty foods every day is a problem.

    We feed our dog Science Diet. Even though the prices are raising, we've noticed so many positive changes with it, that we're sticking to it. When he came to us, he had droopy bloodshot eyes with discharge, and now he has perfect eyes, and his coat is beautiful. Our vet has consistently recommended this brand, and we love it.

    Different dogs may respond differently to brands of dog food I guess. When I fed my dogs Science Diet they had poor coats and just plain didn't do well on the stuff at all.

    Lol I don't think MacDonalds will ever really be a good food lol... I'm not a fan of processed hamburger. My friend switched from beniful to science diet and it has improved his pets coats, leavings and eyes by quite a bit.
