For me it's more than hard to say no. I say it only when I know that my food can be unhealthy for my dog. I have a Yorkshire Terrier and I love him with all my heart, he is the sweetest little dog with the most adorable, begging eyes - how could I not share my carrot with him? We both love eating raw carrots. They're healthy and delicious.

I do now since that post. I understand more of what the OP is getting at...although I still think this to be a completely worthless thread...it is very difficult to turn down my verbal begging cat from deli meat when I get home each day...his meow just kills me.

I just try to give them what they need and sometimes a little extra. The problem is that some animals will keep begging for food, and then later they'll lay down and cry because their stomach hurts :p I have that with our guinea pig (cavia). Every time he smells something new (parsley, carrot, apple, banana), he'll start going crazy and making his usual sounds. He would keep eating even if he's full, and then later we see he's having trouble with his stomach and making his crying sounds.
Sometimes it's good to not give in, and think about your animal and his health. For certain animals, once you make it a habit, it's hard to go back.

Yeah because then they just want more and more and more and more...with my kitten, there is no limit to how much food he wants us to feed him.

My dog used to beg at the table. It was such a sad state, and of course we would give in. We began to train the dog not to do this though because he began doing it whenever we would have guests as well, and some people do not like dogs as much as others. It is a bad habit but with a bit of training he now does not do that anymore.

It is almost heartbreaking to have to deny a pet from begging for table scraps...but it must be done in order to maintain the sanity of both the pet and the owner.

Yes, I can say no to my begging pets. As much as I love and adore them, I don't want them to become spoiled or out of control. Pets think a lot differently than we do, and before you own a pet you need to at least have this much understanding. If they beg and you reward them, they'll continue to beg until they start jumping on you when you're trying to eat, or even biting you when you don't give them what they want. Dogs weren't meant to be treated like human babies.

Well I don't have any pets, but if I did, definitely no. I definitely can't say no to my begging pets. I'm a complete sucker for cuteness and especially when it comes to pets. But of course, it isn't very good, as some of the food you eat may not be good for the pets.

That's funny. We just have to stick to our feeding routines. I admit that I sometimes break my own rules, because it's hard to say no every time, especially since you have some kind of emotional connection with your pet, and you feel responsible for attending to the needs of your pet.
All the best,
