i agree.

im about to go get some snoballs for my neighbors dog

nope. i did some research in my hayday and found snoballs to be ok.

oh okay. Was your hayday a good 50 years ago too? If not, then you don't matter.

Dogs do indeed love cheese. But these dogs have never had any. The wife loves to coax them them to attack me when I'm sitting on the couch with food.

Her: "Go ahead, the two of you are bigger than him. Take it!" It's like living with Lucille Ball.

(Zach, I share everything I eat with my dog so I'm right there with you but I won't argue that it's healthy because sugar cookies and table scraps simply aren't healthy.. not unless you're eating raw veggies and plain rice and uncooked meat)

LL, I was taught the same thing growing up. But did research and found that a mix of cooked people food is what breeders of champion dogs eat. Dog food is too processed and has too many additives. We use it because it's cheap and Vets sell it.
I admit that sugar is not so good but dogs love baked bread, cookies, etc. and that is from smell, not sweet. If you could bake a sugarless biscuit they would go nuts.

Also, my dogs are not over weight. If you give a black lab a lot of crappy dry dog food he will become obese. I control amount.

I also exercise them. We live on a lake in the country. They get a LOT of exercise.

I am surprised that you don't realize this trend since you assert that you work for a lot of Vets.
