Instead of throwing out that bit of leftover oatmeal, feed it to your dog.  It’s a good source of soluble fiber and it may help to promote bowel regularity in your dog.  

Modern Dog Magazine (self-proclaimed as the best dog magazine ever) has a good article - 10 People Foods for Dogs.  I certainly would not have guessed half the foods on this list:

1. Yogurt
2. Flax Seed
3. Salmon
4. Pumpkin (Yes, really, it’s on the list)
5. Sweet Potatoes
6. Green Beans (Yup.  It’s on there. Vegetables can be a dog food ... I'm not sure how you'll get Fido to eat them, though.)
7. Eggs
8. Brewer’s Yeast (NOT Baker’s yeast)
9. Apples
10.  Oatmeal

No, this does not give you an excuse to feed the dog scraps under the dinner table.  But if you do have any leftovers of the above human foods, (plain and unsalted, please!), then feel free to scrape them into Spot’s dog food bowl.  It’s homemade dog food without the work.
