Here's why dogs don't need 'human food,' says Virginia veterinarian: 'No reason for it'

Plenty of dog owners across America like to spoil their pets as they would their own children, with some even preparing elaborate meals for them typically reserved for dinner guests.

South Florida resident Sara Valdivieso, a mother of two children, has three dogs: Ruby Lulu, a 5-year-old Airedale terrier; Lola Chicky, a 4-year-old mutt; and Sabel Daisy, a 1-year-old miniature goldendoodle.

Valdivieso feeds her pets dog food twice a day, she said — but that's not all. She also makes sure they're regularly fed healthy human food.
