So we hear all the time about lists of foods animals can safely eat. But my question is, should they? How do you figure out how much of something to incorporate into a pet's diet as a treat? (For example my cat is a fiend for green beans. I asked my vet and they said every now and then a few are fine, but how is that compared to, say, a bite of a fast food burger? Can I base my pet snack decisions off if something is nutritionally good for me?)
gettingvetted here.
In general, most veggies and greens are okay for cats to eat (ask your vet or do a quick Google search to be sure). A fast food burger is going to be high in calories and fat and would not make the best treat for a pet, but a little bit of cooked, lean hamburger would be okay on a rare occasion. A fast food chicken sandwich wouldn’t be good for a pet, but a little piece of cooked chicken at home won’t hurt.
The question of whether they *should* have human food snacks is based on their caloric intake for the day. No more than 10% of an animal’s calories should come from treats or people food. And assuming you feed them that 10% worth of treats or people food, you must subtract 10% from their daily ration to ensure they’re not getting too many calories. So a couple green beans every now and then is fine, but if you’re feeding them on a daily basis, you risk them getting too many calories (if you’re not reducing their food accordingly) or unbalancing their nutrition (if you are feeding green beans to excess).
Hey so uh, friendly reminder, DO NOT get these for your dogs!!
I don't know exactly whats wrong with these, but my pittboxer used to have these treats years ago. She started throwing up green bile and couldn't keep down any of her food, and was pooping blood. The moment she stopped getting them, she stopped throwing up, started eating, and stopped bleeding from her bum. Even now, years later, she hasn't fully recovered, and usually once a month she needs go only have rice and chicken broth for a couple days to help her stomach.
DO NOT FEED THESE TO YOUR DOGS.

Snacking In America Hits "Tipping Point," Cats And Dogs Included
The food industry has long known that three daily meals are out, and a procession of snacks from midday to midnight is in. And now the pet food industry is getting onboard.

Snacking has become a mega-trend in the food industry in recent years, forcing food companies from General Mills to McDonald’s to cater to a world that no longer revolves around three daily meals. And dogs and cats are getting in on the action.
Trends in pet food are following those in human food, and so pet snacking is on the rise, companies say. “Snacking and treating are growing, especially as a way to bond with cats and dogs,” said Dave West, the head of J.M. Smucker’s Big Heart Pet Brands, at a Feb. 17 investor conference. About 68% of U.S. households own at least one pet, and that’s increasing among so-called millennials and empty nesters, he added.
J.M. Smucker said earlier this month that it’s buying Big Heart, the maker of Kibbles ‘n Bits and Meow Mix, for $3.2 billion. Pet snacks are an “extremely important part of this business,” a separate Smucker executive said at the conference.
Snacks for dogs and cats make up almost one-third of the company’s $2.3 billion in annual sales, and that’s expected to grow, West said, especially as people buy fancier ones for their furry friends. Snacks under the Milo’s Kitchen brand promise “the best” to “pet parents.” Pup-Peroni now comes in flavors such as turducken — a turkey-duck-chicken hybrid — and braised beef with sweet potato.

It seems this animal instinct runs across species. Snacking for humans is a $1.2 trillion business that has historically grown about 6% a year, a Mondelez executive said at the same conference. That’s a boon for food companies, given packaged snacks tend to be more profitable than basic food staples.
“The trend in snacking has reached a tipping point,” said Jeffrey Harmening, chief operating officer of General Mills’ U.S. retail division, at the conference. “In fact, snacks make up half of all U.S. eating occasions.”
He continued: “U.S. consumers don’t feel guilty about snacks anymore. They depend on them to get through their busy days.”
