You may have probably heard that it is not a good idea to feed your dog people food. Even though many prefer to stick with dog food and only dog food, there are certain types of human food that Golden Retrievers love and is actually good for them.  As any Melbourne / Space Coast real estate owner already knows, Golden Retrievers crave attention. When they watch you eat it never hurts to give them a bite, as long as you know what they should and shouldn’t consume with their diets.

For your Golden Retriever’s health, feeding him or her foods like chicken, raw vegetables, turkey, brown rice, fruits, and oatmeal are always sufficient. Even though we think of these type foods as “human food,” they are good for many animals as well. All dogs have taste buds and noses, meaning that they get very excited when they see you with food. But you already knew that.

If your Golden Retriever runs to the refrigerator when you open it up, he or she is trying to tell you that he smells something good. Even though he or she may run to the refrigerator, he or she isn’t begging for food as many think, he or she is simply wanting to have some real food. Once your Golden Retriever starts to do this in your home for sale in Melbourne / Space Coast, you should give him or her some of what he wants. Although most real food is fine for Golden Retrievers, there are some that you should avoid.

For instance, keep your dog away from egg whites. If you feed your Golden Retriever a large amount of egg white in his or her diet, he or she will get a deficiency in biotin, which is a B vitamin, due to the amount of avidin. If you are feeding your Golden Retriever egg yolks, you shouldn’t worry as the effects of avidin will be offset by the high biotin levels that are found in egg yolks. You can also feed your Golden Retriever egg shells as well, as they contain a large amount of protein. If you want the best for your Golden Retriever, try feeding him or her raw eggs with the shell intact in your Melbourne / Space Coast luxury home.

Stay away from chocolate. We all know never to feed chocolate to any type of animal. After all, chocolate contains bromine, which is very toxic to both dogs and cats. Unsweet chocolate is by far the worst to feed to your Golden Retriever, as it contains a large amount of bromine. Bromine is a very harmful chemical, one that normally leads to the death of man’s best friend.

Next thing you know, your puppy Taco will begin to appreciate meal times at the house. Boy, will he be on his best behavior when mom and dad get home from work.

There are other foods out there that can be good or harmful to your Golden Retriever. If you have any questions, you should always ask your veterinarian.
