Angel should not be given chocolate or sweets as these can be toxic to dogs. A small amount of raw carrots, spinach, or celery can be given but I would avoid giving raw potatoes. The majority of Angel's food should be a well balanced dog food like Royal Canin, Purina One, or Hill's Science Diet. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
