19 tables foods you give your dog: How bad are they really?(continued)

#7. Jerky: BAD

Repeated ingestion of "fatty, high-sodium, or high-sugar human foods" eventually "causes many pets to be reluctant to eat their well-balanced dog food diet".

#8. Hot Dogs: BAD

Hot dogs contain artificial ingredients, nitrates, chemicals, and preservatives, none of which can be adequately broken down or eliminated by a dog's digestive system.

#9. Rice: Good

Brown rice is better than white rice, since it retains all its native nutrients, including vegetable proteins.

#10. Carrots: Good

As a source of vitamin A and appropriate dietary fiber, carrots present no problems to a dogs occasional treat.

#11. Pickles: BAD

The corn syrup  offers nothing but empty calories, and onions can disturb the normal function of your dog's red blood cells, depriving them of oxygen.

#12. Popcorn: Not So Good

Air-popped and unseasoned, popcorn is OK for dogs, but not so much when you lather on the butter and salt.
