That poor dog.
Lol.. what have you done..
Thanks for catching that, forgot to include.
Besides the health concerns, it's generally considered bad form to give a dog leftovers. They are suppose to eat after we eat, and they are not suppose to beg for our food. The habit is difficult to get rid of once taught too.
That being said, I imagine most of us do give them leftovers once in awhile regardless.

Just give your dog dog food. If you wanna treat them, just get some little treats. They get just as hype for a little tiny treat as they do for a slice of pizza. When I take the lid off the treat jar my dogs go fuckin crazy.
I give them bites of stuff sometimes, but no need for a full on piece of pizza lol

Can she eat it? Depends upon the Pizza. something like Pepperoni isn't terrible, but other kinds would be worse
Should she be eating it? NO. Dogs should be eating dog food, as the nutrients that they need are different then humans. And not any of that Purina filler crap, something like Akana.

25 posts in. GAF you rusty.
If you want a fat dog.
That's for a 20lbs dog though. Big dogs can eat more.

I mean it's a dog. I once went to get the door and came back and my dinner was gone. Dogs will eat anything. Doesn't mean they should.

Basic rule if you want your dog to live a long happy life - don't feed it any human food.
Google "what food is toxic to dogs", if you wanna be specific [hint: it's lots].

That's a good pizza dog.
I'll hook mine up with some Pepperoni's, but he's 14 years old, mostly blind, and awesome as fuck. He deserves it. Love that damn dog, I'm not going to handle it very well when he finally passes.

When i was a teenager we had a dog that ate everything. We as a family fed her anything she wanted from pizza to chocolate.
Long story short. She got diabetes and went blind, i had to give her insulin shots every day. Poor little guy, I had no idea back then (early 90s)

It depends on what you mean by "give her pizza".
If you mean nibbling off a tiny bite of one of your slices and giving her that then yeah, it's not a huge deal. Even the smallest bit of anything you have means the world to a dog.
If you mean giving her a slice or two of pizza for a meal because she likes it – no. Obviously no. That could be pretty bad for her with the garlic and/or onions. Not to mention whatever spices are used in the sauce and if she's intolerant to cheese you could have quite a mess on your hands.

That's entirely irrelevant. My dogs liked ice cream and they were lactose intolerant. Give your dog dog food, it's called that for a reason.

Dogs eat what they want. Pizza is delicious. I see no problems here.

Well we fed our dog human food when I was a kid and she got real fat and real dead so I stick to dog food nowadays.
Yup. My parents had multiple dogs and they always got the leftovers. Two bouviers lived to be 12.
Except your ignorance.
If my dog stole pizza I would make sure he never so much as got to be within ten feet of a slice ever again.

She's epileptic since before she ever tasted pizza. Every birthday she had made it to has been an event and she is cherished everyday. She has blood tests and liver tests several times a year and besides the epilepsy medicine shockingly the bloodwork and liver is very functional at 9 years old even after that one pizza a year.
At 9 years old she is still very healthy and well behaved.
Pizza is fine for a medium large dog
Y'all above: onions are dangerous for dogs about a cup per 20 lbs, garlic about a fifth of that. You won't find that in one piece of pizza. Some people praise little bits of garlic's affects.

My granddad smoked a pack of tobacco a day and he lived to 84, there's no healthrisk to smoking!
Every once in a while isn't going to do your dog any harm.
Incase this isn't a joke, do not do this.

Stick to real dog food. Not PET food, but DOG food e.g. chickenbones, chicken, etc. like she would eaten when if she were born outside in the wildness. Get frozen leftovers from your local butcher every month and put them into your freezers. Easy, cheap, healthy, happy dog who won't touch the pet food from stores anymore.
Edit: This only works if you also have a freezers of course...so if you don't have one then that's bad, but welp.
Just don't feed chocolate and that shit.

Pizza is for turtles
No it isn't. It's called barfen and both my dogs are getting barfed since they were born and are more than healthy. The vet is always amazed how their hair looks and how fit they still are for their age. So no I am not joking and that is some serious good thing if you have the options. Normal pet food is the enemy, if you buy it from bad producers.
Edit: Also included are e.g. paunch or mixed stomach pigs and all. Normal food for dogs.
