Feeding dogs leftovers - good or bad idea?

I've searched for the definitive answer to this question, but can't
find it so I'm just going to ask again ;¬}
You're not likely to find a 'definitive' answer (only opinions). There are
whole huge lists of things which are toxic to dogs, and the list has a
tendency to grow with time, so whatever 'scraps' you feed, make sure you
don't feed too much (I'm not saying that small quantities can't be toxic, or
cummulative, only that you're less likely to have problems).
The other big problem you're going to have to worry about is obesity. A
little goes a long way. For my own part, I do feed 'scraps', but they are
*really* tiny scraps. Basically as small as I can possibly make them (and my
dogs are ~35kg). If 'scraps' are constituting a significant part of their
diet, you're a lot more likely to have a problem.
