Will people get mad if I give their dogs junk food at a church picnic?

My church is having a big picnic this weekend, and some people will be bringing their dogs to the park. Is it OK to give the dogs things like hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, cookies, and brownies?

Of course!

Cookies and brownies, no. Dogs don't do good with chocolate. Skip the chips too but hamburgers and hot dogs should be OK.Just ask the owner first.

You really need to ask the owners... it's always different...

Cookies and brownies....chocolate (mainly dark chocolate) can kill dogs so they may not be too happy...also some dogs have food allergies and can get horrible ear infections etc....since you do not know the medical conditions of these dogs the answer is no unless the owner says it is fine.

No, it's not okay. Never feed someone else's dog anything. What if the dog is diabetic and goes into a coma after YOU feed it a brownie?? Hmmmm?

Never feed someone elses pet without asking! You can make them sick and they can really make a mess.

I would be mad.

Unless they give you permission to give them some hot dog how do you know the dog isn't allergic to anything or is on a diet? Don't. Brownies or anything with chocolate is not something you should be giving them at all.

Never, you don't know if the dogs have any dietary issues. Brownies and cookies should never be given to dogs. Chocolate is bad for them.

NOOOO!!!! People food is not good for dogs! You will make most of them sick. You can buy a big bag of dog treats at Petsmart (or the like) for a few dollars. They will appreciate that a WHOLE lot more!

No it is never alright to give an animal any food without the owners permission, even if it is dog food. Some may have allergies and then you could hurt or kill them.

Each owner will have a different opinion on what and if you can feed their dog. Keep in mind though never to feed a dog chocolate or grapes. This is hard on them and too much can kill the animal. Do not feed a dog without asking though. You never know if the dog will be aggressive over food.

if it has chocolate in it, NO! Ei.chocolate chip cookies,browniesotherwise it really depends on the owner. Someone i know fed their dog table food and the poor thing's stomach exploded and 9duh0 he died. I WOULDN'T!

Always ask the owner first. I would be very mad if a random person came up to my dog and fed him BROWNIES. You shouldn't even feed your own dog brownies and cookies, let alone a dog that is not yours.

Howlarious · Jun 2nd 2012, 3:10pm

cookies and brownies aren't safe for dogs,so dont give 'em that. The rest is safe dont give them grapes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Always ask the owner. You never know what kind of allergy or illness the dog has. Could be on a special diet, diabetic etc.

I think it might be harmful for your dog.Maybe take some of your dog's favorite treats!!!! Have fun at the picnic!!!

2FFVC3 · Jun 3rd 2012, 2:37am

yeah once a week is ok. dogs love junk food and its nice to treat them with some

No. I would be pissed if anyone gave that to my dog without asking me. No owner should say yes.

Cavalier Gal · Jun 3rd 2012, 10:16am

If you ask, I will politely say "no". If you don't ask you might walk away with a broken arm.
