You mentioned vindaloo, though, so I guess that's where my mind went.. I trust his judgment when choosing food Dogs are forever eating things they shouldn't. My dog desperately wants to eat mandarins when I have one, and spaghetti bolognese if she sees someone with some. Both will make her sick and cause her pain. I mean, obviously it's your dog, you make the decisions, but I don't think that's the right rationale, honestly.
