THAT'S RUFF

Your pooches favourite food revealed – can you guess if it’s pizza, burger or even biccies?

THE most common human foods eaten by dogs have been revealed - and burgers, pizzas and even hot dogs make the list.

This comes after poll of 2,000 dog owners found almost half regularly catch their dog trying to eat their favourite meals, with sandwiches, sausages and biscuits also being a puppy favourite.

The average owner catches their pooch taking things from their plate three times a week, with 42 per cent claiming this problem increases during the summer due to more casual outdoor eating.

And over half admit their dog is more likely to end up eating human food at an informal gathering, such as at a barbeque or the beach.

This has led to 56 per cent worrying about the impact this has on their dog’s health and nutrition.

To help solve this problem, , which commissioned the research, has launched its ‘Fetch of The Day’ food van on Brighton Beach.

The 'first of its kind' van aims to help owners keep their pets’ nutrition on track - by serving nutritious doggie takes on British seaside summer classics, such as Barking Burgers, Seaside Salmon Cones and Frozen Watermelon Bites.

A spokesperson for the tailor-made dog food brand said: “We’re all guilty sometimes of slipping our pups a morsel of human food, but too much can be really harmful.

"It’s often laden with fat and sugar, meaning a little snack to us might be the same as half a small dog’s daily allowance.

"Some foods can even also cause serious harm, inflaming the pancreas or causing toxicity.

"With ‘Fetch of the Day’ we wanted to provide dogs enjoying a day out at the beach with a range of healthy, delicious and 100 per cent dog friendly seaside grub.”

When asked if they ever offer food to their pet, 69 per cent admit they do because it makes the dog happy and helps reduce food waste, while a quarter give in too easily when their animal begs.

While at the seaside, a fifth have had their sausage roll eaten by a dog while 17 per cent have lost out on some fish and chips.

During a day out with their dog, 40 per cent claim their pet will eat less healthily than usual - with ice cream, sausages and chips cited as the most consumed foods in the warmer months.
