"Human" Foods For Pets

Hi everyone, and thanks for joining me on this episode of Val Talk’s Pets! Have you ever wondered why we separate pet food and human food? Why isn’t it all just… food? Of course, not every meal we eat is safe for dogs, cats, or small pets — but what human foods are perfectly fine to share? Let’s explore which foods beyond traditional pet food are completely safe (and which are not). We’ll look at proteins, fruits, and vegetables — from chicken to kangaroo, apples to zucchini — and uncover what’s healthy, what’s risky, and what’s just plain off-limits for our furry friends. 📩 Email me: val@valtalkspets.com [val@valtalkspets.com] with questions, topic suggestions, or feedback. 🌐 Visit my website: https://valtalkspets.com [https://valtalkspets.com] for links mentioned on the show and additional resources. ☕ Support the podcast: Purchase a coffee at https://ko-fi.com/valtalkspets [https://ko-fi.com/valtalkspets] 🎵 Music: Purple Planet Music 🔔 Follow or Subscribe to ensure you never miss an episode.
