Ever tried it? How was it?
I tried a cat biscuit once but it just tasted like fish food smells. This may be why cats like fish food.

Ever tried it? How was it?

I bought my dogs some doggie cookies the other day and it seriously smelled like regular vanilla cookies. I wanted to take a bite but I didn't!
I feed my dogs human grade food so I could eat it and it should be fine. But I've never actually tried it. This is the ingredients list on my dog's food:
Chicken, organic flaxseed, potatoes, celery, sweet potatoes, apples, organic alfalfa, organic kelp, honey, pumpkin, green beans, cabbage, bananas, papayas, basil, garlic, rosemary extract, tricalcium phosphate, choline chloride, zinc amino acid chelate, vitamin D3 supplement, vitamin E supplement, potassium iodide, potassium chloride, iron amino acid chelate, copper amino acid chelate.
My dogs are fancy.
Jesus christ Hannah do you have to get a pro chef like Gordon Ramsay in to prepare their meals with all those ingredients?
I don't know if it's the same over there but here all pet food has to be suitable for human consumption, a holdover from the Cold War when we figured we'd be fighting over cans of dog food after the bombs fell.
Everyone at the pet store I worked at had, at some point, tried a dog biscuit.
(they taste like chicken crackers, btw)
Edit: I can also tell from Miriel's list that she buys super high-quality dog food!(Another hold-over from my pet store days is learning about ingredients and quality and such)
This may be a cheap way to get some chicken crackers.
I have a rabbit. I've eaten some of his food. That is, the fresh veggies I give him, since they're taken from what I eat
I haven't tried his pellets. They're primarily alfalfa, which I think would taste like hay. Not for me.
I feed them this awesome stuff:
All Natural Dog Food - Dehydrated Pet Food | The Honest Kitchen
It's more expensive than regular dog food (and it makes them poop more!), BUT, they regularly have sales. So I picked up like 4 boxes of food when they had their 20% off sale, and then I supplement it with Wellness Core which is a grain free dog food brand.
That's good! The terrible thing about a lot of dog food brands in the US is that so much of it is utter crap and horrible for dogs, let alone for humans.Originally Posted by Mister Adequate
It actually pains me when I see people buying brands like pedigree for their dogs. Noooooo.
And yeah, I definitely considered the fact that having dehydrated dog food would be a good thing if we were in an end of times scenario.
Yeah Wellness is great, and I hate when people think crappy pet food brands are good. (See: Science Diet. Science Diet is crap and vets only recommend it because the Science Diet guys keep giving them free stuff if they do it.)
My dogs have to eat gluten free dog food because 2/3 are sensitive to dog foods with wheat in them. x)
Wellness Core is gluten free! What brand do you use?
I just checked and it is called Just 6.
Not sure what my sister feeds her dogs (cavalier king charles spaniels), but I know they give them like unflavored Quaker Rice Cakes, green beans, watermelon as a treat on their birthdays, stuff like that.
My parents will only feed their dogs Puppy Chow. My dog would -only- eat Puppy Chow until they came out with the Little Bites and he finally adjusted to that. I agree. It's gross for dogs. -_-;
We're planning on getting a Newfoundland in the next few months, so what -are- the best brands? Keep in mind, Newfies get up to like 175 - 200 lbs, so something that's not gonna totally break the bank.
I ate a Begg'n Strip one time when I was little. As a dare. bleh.
My doggies eat raw meat. I'm not trying that. My least favourite to dish up for them is tripe. That stuff STINKS.
They also get supplementy things and then they also get raw bones and carcasses and shizz.
Tripe is nasty in general. Especially cooked. omg.
No, I would not try my pet's food.
