S/O Pets licking plates

I checked no to licking, but yes to people food. But only a small amount...occasional piece of chicken here and there.

Our dog does not lick plates and he eats people food in that it’s all human-grade organic meats and vegetables but it’s raw. We don’t feed him table scraps or anything like that.

I have 3 cats. Excuse me. I am OWNED by 3 cats. I chose the last answer! 😂

My pets get fed twice a day their dog food. They also get people food treats when we are eating. My little blind diabetic dog sits on a chair at the dinner table with us. She only gets protein and veggies anymore but she only is happy when she's touching me so up at the table she sits.

No on licking the dishes before they get washed - for dh it’s gross, for me it’s a manners issue.
No to table scraps - I cook with too many seasonings or things they shouldn’t eat, especially onions!
Yes they do eat human food - one of them is raw fed so he eats raw meat, yogurt and pumpkin. Dh gives the others the bread ends. They also get carrots, chicken paws and green beans.
Darn, I can’t remember the rest 

Our dogs have their own dishes because we have three dogs and they each get a different amount of food. 

We have a really great local butcher who does custom grinds of pet food - nothing but the ingredients, no additives at all. It’s awesome.

Our dogs don't lick plates and don't eat people food either.

I chose no to licking dishes and yes to people food. He does occasionally lick as they go into the dishwasher but we never put our dinner dishes on the floor for him or anything. Well give him a piece of apple or cheese as we’re slicing some up or a cracker ds didn’t eat from lunch or something but all stuff we just hand feed him or toss on the floor.

We sometimes sprinkle small bits of “people food” over their food to entice them and mix it up a bit. Or mix some egg with their food or some veggies. We will also offer an occasional nibble off our plates.

Neither of my small dogs will touch food not offered to them. I can leave a plate of tempting food on a coffee table right next to them and they won’t touch it. They are very obedient.

my dog will put damn near anything in her mouth. Her favorite is socks. She swallows them whole is she can find one.

My dogs have to wait for any food, they are quite skilled at it. They get released to eat when I say so. So if they are licking a dish, it’s becas I said they could (well, her, the other dogs are delicate flowers).

They do beg more than I’d like, but they are trained to place and will go when I tell them so putting them there solves that. Not giving in to cute begging would probably help too but I’m not a monster

Overall, while a wee bit crazy (the border has bad OCD, the mix is anxious mess a lot of the time) my dogs are pretty well trained. One has an obedience title and trick titles.

The answer would have been different for previous pets.....all deceased.

We now have 2 previously feral cats. The have NO interest in any human's food. They have no interest in licking a dish.

They eat only dry cat food and on occasion, one of the cats will eat some wet cat food.

No licking, but we do give people food now and then.

Funny story. I took out my diamond earrings one night and put them on my nightstand safely pushed under the lamp. My dog was a pup at the time and there was also an empty bowl of popcorn on the table. I guess the smell was too much for the pup and we all know where this is going. Two days later, I realize one of my earrings is missing. They were my mother's and my dad had them hand made for her. I looked for hours. Finally I told my husband to start collecting the dog's pooh in bags and I would start checking. He brought one home later that morning and low and behold, there was my earring in the poo and tons of peanuts. "We" weren't feeding the pup any people food, so my husband was busted for giving him treats when I wasn't there. On the positive side, I was so happy to have that smelly earring back I didn't care.
