The next time you offer your pet "people" food think about these facts:
- Only 1 ounce of cheddar cheese for a 20 pound dog has the same number of calories as 2 1/2 hamburgers or 1 1/2 chocolate bars do for a person
- Do you know that for a 10 pound cat, 1 cup of milk has the same number of calories as 4 1/2 hamburgers or 5 chocolate bars do for a person?
- For a 20 pound dog, eating just 1 hot dog is the same as a person consuming 3 entire hamburgers or 2 whole chocolate bars.
- If a 10 pound cat ate just 1 ounce of cheddar cheese it would be the same as if a person ate 3 1/2 hamburgers or 4 whole chocolate bars.
There are "people" food treats you can give your pet without having to worry about making your pet overweight:
- Apples
- Carrots
- Bananas
- Green Beans
- Rice Cakes
- Deli Meat (small pieces, turkey or chicken)
