Table Scraps and Pets?

Question:
Are table scraps ok for my pet?

Answer:
Table scraps should not be given to pets.  While the infrequent piece of toast is harmless often times it leads to our pets begging for more and many owners give in and what used to be to occasional piece of toast at breakfast turns into a regular occurrence involving fatty meals which can lead to gastrointestinal upset and pancreatitis.
