It is not recommended that you feed your pet scraps. They problem with table scraps is really the way we cook. We often use seasonings that are too strong or even potentially harmful to pets. Garlic and onion are 2 ingredients that pets should not consume. The way we prepare meat is also a problem for our pets because of the high fat content.

From a behaviour point of view, feeding from the table encourages begging during meal times and may also encourage 'finicky' behaviour. Your pet may begin holding out for the table scraps!

Your pet should have free access to water at all times. Most pets will drink the amount of water that they need. Pets that are outdoors or very active will drink more water than pets that live indoors or lead a sedentary lifestyle.

Yes, it is perfectly safe to feed both to your pets.
