Best Answer

Human food is rarely appropriate for dogs, no matter their size. However, small dogs have special nutritional needs because their stomachs are so small, so they need high nutrient density in their food. Human food does not meet their needs.

In addition, dog toxins in human food, such as onions or chocolate, among many other things, will have a proportionately greater impact on a small dog than on a larger dog.
