Dogs Are Eating Hamburgers These Days

By Jill Pillward


If you ask my family or friends, they'll tell you my dog is a carnivore. He'll rip apart anything that's meaty; rib-eye steaks, Angus beef, ground pork, turkey all the meats of the world is my dog's buffet and it's all thanks to me. I love giving my dog meat; anything meaty in my hands, my dog will devour; anything meaty I have for leftovers, my dog will suck it up like a vacuum. It's conclusive that my dog is a carnivore thanks to me. Don't worry, he eats his regular dog food.

Why do some dogs like hamburgers? What is it about these juicy delights that give dogs joy? Hamburgers give them extra protein. Dogs are carnivores in nature. With that in mind, it's obvious that dogs have to have protein in their diet. While hamburger are not in any way a substitute for the right kind of food for the dog, hamburgers provide an "oomph" in the protein boost for a pet.

Some dogs develop a taste bud for the hamburger. Maybe they were pre-exposed to the scent of the burger; maybe they saw you eating a burger and thought they could try it; or maybe they stole a burger, ate it and loved it. Whatever the case, some dogs can develop a taste bud overtime. Don't be surprised if your dog jumps happily when they see your hamburger. It only means he has become a gourmet taster. Almost related to no.2. Some dogs find the burger a nice little treat. If you've been feeding the burger as a treat, they'll begin to like it as a treat. Whether you use it as a reward for doing tricks or you give it to them periodically, the burger becomes their little reward to work for.

If you're going to feed a dog patties, make sure they're made with all-natural ingredients. Dogs can't absorb preservatives very well and who knows what those ingredients will do the dog? You may not know it but there are companies who make patties made specifically with the dog in mind. The ingredients are the things dogs need in their diet. If you have any patties like that, then by all means give them to your dog.

There are some dogs that like hamburgers, but it should always be taken into consideration. Even the good-looking burgers might actually be the most harmful of all. The next time you're about to give your dog a hamburger, remember if the hamburger is good or not. If it's good, you can go for it. If not, let yourself have a burger. You will be saving your dog's health.
