If possible, try to steer clear of human food for pets anyway but if you are out of dog treats, here are some alternatives:

 

Vegetables:

 

Broccoli – in small amounts and can be fed either steamed or raw

 

Carrots – can be given steamed, or boiled

 

Celery – in small amounts

 

Green beans – steamed, boiled, or raw

 

Sweet and regular potatoes – must be plain with no seasoning and can be given boiled or steamed not raw

 

Fruit:

There is a wide variety of fruits that your dog can have, let’s take a look at the options:

Apples – must be de-seeded and cored, apple slices are best to give

Bananas – must be given in smaller amounts due to sugar

Mango – the stone/pit, and skin must be removed before giving it to your dog

Nectarine – remove the stone/pit before feeding to your dog

Strawberries – they are very sugary so make sure to feed in insignificant amounts

Watermelon – before feeding, remember to remove the rind and seeds

Dogs can also have oranges, peaches, pears, and pineapple but remember to remove any stones or pits, and the skin before handing it to your dog.
