All of the Meals Penny Loves & the One She Hates – Dogster

Hello, I’m Savanna! Learn my introduction to study extra about me and my spunky Chihuahua combine, Penny.

We’re all conversant in our canine asking for a number of the meals we’re cooking or consuming, it doesn’t matter what it’s. Generally we simply can’t assist however give in, so we give them a chew. I’m no completely different. After all, it’s vital to guarantee that any meals you give your canine is secure for them and given to them plain and freed from seasonings, and there are a lot of human meals which are secure for canine to have moderately as slightly snack.

Unsurprisingly, Penny at all times needs a chew of our hen or pork, however we don’t give in as a result of it’s coated with seasonings and different issues that is likely to be dangerous for her. But when it’s one thing that’s good for canine, typically I do give her slightly bit once I’m completed with it. Surprisingly, Penny’s favourite human meals are fruits, however she does like some greens.

Listed below are a few of Penny’s favourite human meals, together with the one she appears to like essentially the most and the one she completely hates. Please observe that I’ve verified that every one these meals are secure for canine earlier than I feed them to her.¹

Raspberries/Blackberries

Due to their distinctive and typically bitter taste in the event that they’re not the correct quantity of ripeness, raspberries and blackberries appear to be a type of fruits that folks both love or they hate. However Penny completely loves them. We have now to purchase raspberries, however we’ve got some blackberries rising wild in our yard that I’ll choose, and she or he at all times asks for one. So although some people don’t like the flavour of raspberries and blackberries, Penny doesn’t appear to thoughts!

Strawberries

We at all times have strawberries in our home, as a result of my daughter loves them. Apparently, Penny loves them too. Generally she simply licks them, however typically she takes a couple of bites out of them. She by no means eats a complete strawberry although, as I came upon a number of occasions once I stepped on one thing moist and squishy. She likes to munch on the strawberry leaves too, however I normally take these away from her since they’re more durable to chew and digest.

Blueberries

Penny additionally appears to love blueberries. More often than not, anyway. She’s very choosy concerning the texture of the blueberry, and she or he solely likes the agency ones, not the squishy ones. The issue is that I normally simply maintain fruits in my hand and let her munch on them to ensure she doesn’t eat an excessive amount of. However blueberries are so small that I can’t do this, and she or he has to take them out of my hand and eat them.

You know the way canine will put meals on the ground after you give it to them and eat it that approach? After Penny will get the blueberry out of my hand, she locations it on the ground earlier than she eats it, and it kind of rolls away slightly bit when she drops it. So it’s humorous to look at her must chase the blueberry earlier than she will eat it. However when she does eat it, it’s so cute to look at her chew it up.

Bananas

I do know plenty of canine prefer to eat bananas, however that is one other one which Penny solely eats if the feel is good. She likes the bananas which are slightly bit firmer quite than the softer ones. But when it’s the correct texture, she would eat a complete banana if I might let her.

Zucchini/Pumpkin/Squash

Penny isn’t actually as large on greens as she is fruit, however the greens she appears to like are zucchini, pumpkin, and squash. We made zucchini and squash noodles one night time and she or he begged for the zucchini and squash greater than she did the meat that we have been cooking with them. I solely gave her a small piece of zucchini and squash, however she completely beloved it.

She additionally actually likes pumpkin. She’s very a lot in the midst of issues once we carve jack-o-lanterns at Halloween, serving to us “clear up” a number of the pumpkin innards. I ought to’ve recognized she would really like zucchini and squash too, since they’re a part of the identical vegetable household as pumpkins.

Her Absolute Favourite… Peaches and Nectarines!

Peaches and nectarines are two of my favourite fruits, and apparently they’re Penny’s too. I’ve by no means seen a canine beg for meals the best way I’ve seen her beg for a chew of a nectarine or peach. We’ve all seen how excited our canine get once we come house to them after being gone. That’s the best way Penny acts when she sees me consuming a peach or nectarine.

Her tail is wagging, eyes are large, she’s leaping up and down — it’s arduous to withstand giving her a chew when she’s that excited. I normally simply slice off a couple of small items for her and she or he gobbles them proper up.

And the One Factor She Hates… Lettuce

What’s humorous about Penny hating lettuce is that each time I made salad, she at all times needs a bit of lettuce. I at all times inform her, “You don’t like this, keep in mind?” However she begs anyway. And each time I give her one, she at all times spits it proper out and refuses to eat it. It’s like she both doesn’t notice what she’s asking for or forgets that she doesn’t prefer it. It doesn’t matter the kind of lettuce both. She gained’t eat any of it. That’s okay although, as a result of although it’s secure, it’s not very nutritious for her anyway.

Penny’s Favourite Meals: A Recap

Penny would no less than strive something I give her, and I believe it’s completely okay to present our canine a chew of human meals each on occasion, particularly if it’s wholesome for them just like the fruit and veggies she loves. However I by no means give her greater than only a chew or two, and I by no means give her something that’s seasoned.

Though her favourite meals is peaches and nectarines, I haven’t actually discovered a dog-safe fruit that she doesn’t like. There are some she likes greater than others, and it positively relies on the feel. She doesn’t appear to love as many greens although, particularly lettuce.

Simply do not forget that in terms of feeding your canine human meals, it’s vital to guarantee that no matter you feed them is secure for them to eat!
