If you are keen to help fill the tummies of the street dogs, offer them a variety of plain, boiled foods like rice, potatoes, and vegetables. You can also provide them with cooked meat, eggs, or even store-bought dog food, either dry or wet. Avoid feeding them oily or spicy foods, and be mindful of potential allergies or intolerances, such as dairy.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

- Steamed Vegetables: Carrots, peas, and other vegetables can be a healthy addition.
- Cooked Meat: Chicken, mutton, or other meat scraps can be a source of protein.
- Eggs: A nutritious and easily digestible food option.
- Dog Food: Dry or wet dog food is a convenient and balanced option.

- Bread Plain, unseasoned bread made with whole wheat flour can be a source of carbohydrates. REMEMBER TO TAKE ALL FOOD FROM PACKAGING ESPECIALLY TINSFOOD TO AVOID OR LIMITED

- Offer food in a quiet area: Away from busy streets and traffic.
- Don’t feed them too much: A few small meals are better than one large meal.
- Provide fresh water: Especially during hot weather.
- Consider the dog’s health: Puppies or dogs with dental issues may need softer foods.
- Be mindful of other animals: Some dogs may be territorial, so ensure there’s enough space for all to eat.
• • If you’re feeding multiple dogs, try to avoid causing a feeding frenzy: Offer food to individual dogs rather than just one large pile
