I am interested in how many Forum readers feed leftovers.
Personally, I occasionally clean out my refrigerator and feed whatever is in there to my dog who has a pretty great tolerance for novel foods. Doesn't seem to cause any harm.

Occasionally as a special treat. Ours especially love fruit, cheese (especially feta), yogurt and lebni. Well, actually Ming likes everything, all the time (the little glutton) but since we don't want the first 100 lb Peke (LOL)...

I do, depending on what it is, of course. Leftover meat, plain rice or pasta, any cooked veggies--or trimmings from food prep--all these things either end up in the dogs' bowls or a large Zip loc bag in the freezer to be fed later.
They don't get anything with onions, or anything with a spicy sauce on it.

I do too, depending on what it is. It's a pretty wide range, though.
And I tend to spread it out over a few "regular" meals (added to them) rather than one big fridge meal.
Although with my dogs, it probably wouldn't bother them any more than fridge soup bothers me. LOL
Produce leaves and tops get thrown into the blender with their yogurt.
Like Tracy reminds us, no onions -- no alliums at all. No big cooked fatty things. ("Thanksgiving pancreatitis" comes to mind.)
But that leaves a lot!

Yep, I feed leftovers when I have them, with a few caveats. Meat, yes, but pure fat trimmings, no. Carbs like rice, pasta, potatoes and of course vegetables, but nothing spicy or sugary. I also don't give them in one big meal but maybe a half cup or so as a topping to their regular food, depending on what it is.

My poor dogs don't get any left over table food at all. They get veggies, a couple of bites of fruit, depending on what I'm eating that day, but nothing else. I may add some of the meat I'm having to their meal, but it is not trimmings it is a piece of the meat. I am very careful about too much fat for them. My male needs more then my female does, but I don' t have a heavy hand with it.
They get a very healty diversified raw diet with many meats, veggies, fish,yougert, some fruits,(they love banana & blueberries) eggs etc, etc. I rarely have anything that is mine, that is cooked,that I would feed them. But that is just me. I have a female that doesn't do well on 'anything' out of the frig & base their meals on that.
I know, my dogs are SO VERY deprived. (SIGH)

I do. Nothing in the "danger" list, but mostly anything else.
Eggs, cottage cheese, yogurt (plain), veggies, small amounts of fruit etc... (my 9 year old husky would figure out how to grow opposable thumbs and clean the house for gala apples...LOL)
When we had guinea pigs they were AMAZING composters, and ate all of our "going out" produce...
Now we have a hamster....not the same!

Thank God for dogs, otherwise my husband would insist on feeding us the leftovers!

I feed anything and everything so long as it doesn't contain onions or any other stuff dog's aren't suppose to have.
Saturday Turbo had 2 hot dog's, 1/2 a bun, and God knows how many Dorito's, because that is what the kids at the birthday party up the road from us dropped in the dirt.

Mine also seem to think they are entitled to lick every plate or bowl before it goes into the dishwasher. And bites of anything being served to gullible guests who fall for their pathetic looks. Luca, especially, knows that my elderly father is an easy mark.
