Pet Forum / Miscellaneous / Animal Health / April 2004Table Food for Puppies
How old does a a puppy have to be before it is safe to feed a puppy table scraps? Does it give them worms or cause other medical problems. My puppy is a 7 week old Shih Zu named Daphne. Active and Growing in strength. Any info would help. Thankx > How old does a a puppy have to be before it is safe to feed a puppy table > scraps?

Thankx Why do you want to give your puppy table scraps? If she is eating a quality puppy food, that's all she needs. Some table scraps can cause gastrointestinal problems and bones are a choking risk as well as a possible cause of intestinal perforations. If you want to add a little cottage cheese to her kibble, that would be OK, but she does not need people food.

Table scraps are the biggest cause of pancreatitis ( a VERY painful condition) that we treat mostly after holidays due to everyone wanting to give the dog a holiday treat. If you want to supplement with people food, carrots,apples,brocclli, fruits and veggies. Not table scraps.
