Dogs’ mouths can carry bacteria that pose health risks, including potential infections like salmonella, tapeworms, and ringworm. Experts advise against sharing food with pets, suggesting instead that owners wash their hands after pet interactions.
While sharing food may raise hygiene concerns, studies suggest pet ownership has health benefits. Children growing up with pets often have a reduced risk of allergies. Plus, pets offer emotional companionship, which can improve mental well-being.
