LOL I love this question!!

I feed my dogs and myself and my boyfriend the highest quality food I can afford. I’m not rich – I’m a university student for crying out loud, but I think we all do ok for ourselves. My dogs get an all natural, preservative free, additive free (except for vitamins) dry food. They also get a raw substitute about three days a week (liver, kidney, heart, chicken, a bone and egg etc.) As they don’t have the ability tell me what they’d like to eat, I provide them with the best I can. I’ve researched like crazy about what the ideal foods for them are so hopefully they like what I provide!!

I like to eat fairly well too. I hate all the added preservatives and flavourings in packaged food, so I try to make as much as I can myself from fresh ingredients. It always tastes better and I love to cook anyway, so it’s not a big hassle.

We go on a 1hr walk every day so thats my exercise, as well as my dogs. Exercising on my own bores the crap out of me by I could walk for hours with my dogs! I love seeing how excited I get when I grab the leads and we head out the gate! It’s all for them!

I haven’t been to the doctors for years. I would rather up my vitamin intake and rest than be prescribed drugs… However the slightest change in my dogs and I’m on the phone to my vets!!

No one smokes in our household, so my dogs are lucky I guess.

Overall, I think I take care of myself and my dogs fairly equally. Although, I would buy them a new toy over a new pair of shoes for me anyday. They always come first! If I didn’t have dogs I probably wouldn’t go for a walk every day though… They motivate me, so therefore I guess, make me a better person.. I love them ?

1–my dogs get great vet care all the time

2-I will let myself stay sick, till I just go anymore then I go to the doctor, I know shame on me..

3-my dogs get their constant excellent diet every day, without fail.

4-when I come home, the dogs get fed first…..

5- I fix dinner, a good din din for hubby, half the time, I will take a salad or a plate to the den to eat so I can work…
don’t usually sit down for regular meal till Sunday, then we go out to eat alot on Sundays

6-We don’t smoke or drink except on our Anniversary every year, July 1st, then just a sip, so the dogs don’t suffer from smoke fumes or booze fumes either, ha ha

7-Priorities, well here goes, our dogs and horses are always first, first for medical care, first to get fed every day…….

they are our babies and they deserve the best of care.

I draw the line at no point, when it comes to the best for my animals, I have always been very passionate about my animals……

don’t get me wrong, I love my husband and he loves me, but the animals care is first on both our list every single day.

Oh, I almost forgot, I do draw the line at one point, when I get in bed late at night, I draw the line and start fighting for the covers, ha ha between the hubby and the dogs, I kinda get chilly at night sometimes…..but Bo is furry, I just let him snuggle up to my back…and in case you dont know by now, Bo is my 168 lb Newfoundland, so he can be pretty warm..

No I think we are pretty even. They get more in some ways and I get more in others. They miss out for me and I miss out for them.

Guilty.

My dogs definitely eat better than I do. Get more exercise than I do, and no. I don’t smoke around my dogs. My dogs get WAAAAY more nice new things than I do. I never buy anything for myself. I hate clothes shopping…. and I’ve learned restraint when it comes to shoes. No clothes, no point in buying shoes haha

We probably receive the same health care though. Only because I wouldn’t be able to care for them if I didn’t.

When I say they get more exercise… it’s summer, and the waterhose is out again lol.

Excellent question– No, my dogs diet was ALWAYS much better than mine… but that just goes to show when you really love something, you being a selfless being for them.

Who CARES what I eat, as long as my children are well fed, and happy.

I have free medical care for myself, so my dogs and I BOTH get excellent medical treatment (since I have extra money to pay for their bills instead of mine!)

I used to smoke cigarettes, and sadly, I did smoke around them. However, now that I have a child (human), I quit smoking, and do not EVER plan on starting up again!!

I ALWAYS buy them new coats, collars, leashes, toys, and treats… I always go without a new pair of shoes, or a new pair of pants, so my little fur babies have the BEST toys and collars possible.

My dogs have better health care than I do! I don’t hesitate to bring them to the vet……(thank goodness they are taking turns at having health problems right now. My Sibe just had a tumor removed – got him back on track and now the little one is having trouble with her liver. AND, the cat has mouth ulcers and goes in every three weeks for a shot.) I don’t go to the doctor ’cause I’m usually worried about paying off the vet.

They are all on target for their weight. I’m overweight. But I do get my walks with them each day.

I used to smoke, but quit a year and a half ago. I didn’t smoke around the dogs, winter was tough, but I didn’t.

GREAT question! One that really makes us think….

I dont like going to the Dr. But if I dont know what is wrong I will go.
My dogs well they go if they get a scratch or a bump sometimes. (they get better medical care then I do)
They get their teeth cleaned, not me… hate the dentist.
They are up to date on their shots… me I dont remember the last tetnus I got. lol
They eat the best… even get Venison Cooked.
I eat cook for the Family so every one has a balanced meals. Well yeah we have wonderful food here.
Ok well then there is their beds, they have their own beds, and sleep in the house. Theraputic beds(sp)
They have the best shampoo, and the cockers have groomers and our black has a wonderful handler.
I wish I had someone do my hair… lol its been awhile… growing it out so it looks pretty bad. lol
They get purified water.. I am lucky if I remember to drink water.
Oh well so i take better care of them then I do myself.
love them… and my family so they deserve the best..
Oh I forgot their toys… yeah lots. I want some toys… lol

Pft my dog is treated better than I treat myself!
* Me- I’m a college student living off ramen noodles.
My dog- She eats TimberWolf Organics (Which happens not to mess with her allergies). I’m so ashamed I do not have the time for a raw food diet though…
* Me- I won’t bother to take myself to the doctor unless someone drags me out of my home half dead. I hate going to the doctor!
My dog- Anything can set me off and have me calling the vet! I swear the vet hears from me roughly once a week, usually tell me “it’ll be ok, do this and all will be fine”
* I smoke outside, in the front yard because I live with my grandmother currently, and even when she says she does not mind my dog’s allergies test said she is mildly allergic to smoke! I rather sit outside in the rain than cause issues for my grandmother and/or dog.
* Your saying it’s raining out and Aleu wants to play ball anyway? Now where did I put that rain poncho thingy?….
* Got the dog’s water bottle! Now where did I put mine?
* Don’t forget a blanket for Aleu! Want her to be comfortable on the trip!
* Me- I sleep on a couch!
My dog- She doesn’t have a doggy bed, oh no, she has a human pillow and blanket (as she did not like the bed I bought for her).
* Humm, I rather want this, but if I spend the $20 on this I can’t get the new toy for Aleu! (and trust me, the dog toy always wins out for some reason).

Hopefully someone gets a giggle out of my post, but I swear it’s all true.

In short, my dog gets better care than I do. He doesn’t eat junk food (he doesn’t like dog biscuits or treats like that so doesn’t get them), though he does get pet food from the grocery store, not some gourmet brand. We try to control his weight by cutting down on food and walking him more if he gets to the high end of acceptable weight. I should do the same for myself but don’t…

The dog is far more likely to go to the vet when he is not feeling well or injured than my husband or I are to go to the doctor. And the dog gets annual checkups and his shots are up to date. I only go to the doctor twice a year for a blood pressure check if I am not feeling sick, and she may do routine blood work annually, but that is about it. No one sends me a post card to say I need to get my shots like they do for the dog, and I don’t keep close track for myself.

We have a smoke free house and do not use air fresheners or burn candles which put harmful chemicals in the air.

Honestly, my dogs eat better then me. They are on a raw prey-model [BARF] diet and only eat home-made treats. They have more toys then I did when I was younger and they get WAY more exersize then me. They have as many toys as my son, maybe even more! They also have special shampoo, sprays, etc.

I try to eat healthy, but I’ll admit there are days where I pig out on chips and chocolate. My dogs don’t get the chance to ‘pig out’ on junk food as all of their meals are controlled by us. My dogs are at the perfect weight, and according to my doctor I’m 10-15 pounds underweight.

I’ll also admit that I don’t get the same quality of medical care as them. For myself, I am very hesitant to call a doctor if I’m feeling sick. However, if my dogs seem different I make an appointment ASAP.

I don’t smoke – yuck! My boyfriend smokes but he does it outside because of both the dogs and my son.
