Do dogs eat different things in different European countries? Mine (Italian) sometimes get spaghetti.. Are you feeding your dogs smoked elk, borsc and tortillas? (Ps the spaghetti have been tossed with olive oil and pecorino. They are dogs, not savages)

  1. Just to clarify, forgot to buy their canned food so today they get pasta. Normally they eat canned dog food. They eat pasta maybe once a week at most

  2. Wait, smoked borshch is a thing? 😮

    But on a serious answer, my grandpa used to feed his dog kasha with veggies and some meat.

  3. m dog likes to steal the baguette, ritually disembowel it in the yard then chase the birds who come eat the crumbs.

  4. yesterday we dogsitted the Goldie of my father in law. We had pasta and my younger daugther made quite a mess with lots of noodles ending up on the floor and as a consequence getting eaten by the dog. So seems we did as well feed pasta by accident 🙂

  5. My dogs do get table scraps on occasion. Not a lot and nothing unsafe, they also don’t get any spices because dogs generally handle that badly. Carrots, peas, potatoes, bread or rice is generally the limit. If they are lucky a chunk of egg, a a bit of cheese.

  6. Sure!

    They love a leberkaas semmel (Bavaria). One of mine will actually jump on the kitchen counter when he smells it. He never ever does that. Except… when he smells leberkaas… he goes wild. He also loves when a drop of beer falls when pouring it… true Bavarian dog.

    Before you call animal protection… no I don’t feed the dog beer. But sometimes a drop falls and he’ll lick the hell out of that spot for hours. My guess is, it’s the barely.

  7. My dog likes potatoes, but only as McDonald’s French fries, I guess because of the suet used to fry them. And I knew a minipin which loved cabbage and once hauled a whole head on her couch. [Poland]

  8. Never heard about anyone feeding dogs pasta here…

    Most people just feed their dogs dog food and nothing else since it’s considered unhealthy for the puppers to eat some post lunch garbage, but some older people feed their dogs cooked or fried meat (mostly pork), sausages, or even some mashed potatoes with sauce from a Sunday dinner.

  9. A lot of people in Russia make porridge for the dogs, one person I knew said their dog loves ryazhenka (drink from fermented milk, super tasty)

  10. There’s special low-grade rice for dogs (trinca), that’s often boiled in water and meat scraps for flavour. My dogs love it, and it’s less abrasive for their teeth.

  11. German here, ofc. Mine loved Spaghetti too, but only raw as a crunchy treat. He wouldn’t touch pasta if it was cooked.
