For Felines and Fido
Every pet will be lingering at the tableside hoping for a dropped morsel or two but human food that has a lot of spice is typically not suitable for our pets. Instead, set aside some plain steamed vegetables like green beans or carrots, along with some poached chicken or turkey. Certain aromatics can be detrimental to animal digestion so leave the onion and garlic out and just let your kitty or puppy enjoy the unseasoned flavor of meat itself. They will be just as appreciative.
