My employer’s wife couldn’t find any teething biscuits that their son would knaw on until she tried dog biscuits. He loved them. Seems fine to me.
After all, there isn’t anything in them that we don’t get in people food. Just differently mixed and packaged.
And did you know that cats have cleaner mouths than we do? Yep, a scientific fact. We have ALL kinds of germs that they don’t have. So, you are actually better off sharing your fork with your cat than you are sharing bites with your SO. My mom used to get all upset because I kiss my cats. I told her the aforementioned fact. It didn’t change her opinion.
And my cat eats off my plate whenever she wants. So there.
Well, I’ve previously stated my problems with people treating pets like they’re just stupid people, so I won’t go into that.
But, really, what are you hoping to discover when you sample it first? Do you have any reason to think you know what good quality dog food should taste like? As has been mentioned, the dog probably has a different definiton of “tastes good” than you do.
I don’t have a problem with you eating dog food, if that’s what you want to do, but I just don’t see what you are accomplishing if you are doing it for the dog.
I think it’s all bogus, and Elessar is trying to make sure that no one else ever kisses his sweetie.
Personally, I think that by far the most disturbing part of this sentence is that Elessar’s married to a five-year-old. Not even Jerry Lee Lewis would be okay with that.
When my oldest son was first learning to crawl, we learned fairly quickly that we had to make sure that we picked up the dog’s dish as soon as she finished eating, and police the area for any food that fell out onto the floor when we were filling her bowl.
Otherwise, we got to go fishing in an indignant’s child’s mouth to pull out the Purina dog chow before he choked on it. It sort of reminded me of the commercials for smokeless tobacco — “You just put a pinch between your cheek and gum…” He would fill his cheeks like a little squirrel, and hold it there for the enjoyment of it. (He didn’t have much in the way of teeth at the time.)
I once had a friend whose favorite snack was big milk bones dipped in honey. So I tried one and it was pretty good. I liked them better without honey though, and actually got addicted to the things for about two years. I still eat the occasional one now.
I’ve also made stew with Alpo beef chunks when I didn’t have any meat and wanted stew. It was quite good actually, and have put the beef chunks on frozen pizza before cooking. Not that I would eat it by choice nowdays, but it’s not out of the question. It is just meat and really has less garbage in it that most canned foods. I also once bought doggie beef jerky before thinking it was for people because it was on sale and didn’t read the package until I’d eaten half the bag. I’ll still buy it if it’s cheaper than “real” jerky. And the bacon beggin strips are not too bad either.
I tried Meow Mix once and that stuff is nasty.
My wife doesn’t really do anything that people would find ickky, at least out of the bedroom anyways…
truth is stranger than fiction. ive been repulsed more times by this thread alone than the last three times i tried to get a date at the power exchange.
Ok, ok… it was just once, and it was a bee sting. She wanted to “get the poison out.” But it was far too late for that. The thing was already swollen up the size of a ping pong ball.
Ack! Now I’ve seen some very good looking dog food, I’d swear that sometimes the dog eats better than I do… However, we have two buckets of beggin’ strips outside right now and how do you stand the smell of those things? Much less the taste. I’ll admit that my “puppy” loves the things but do not smell like bacon, I felt like gagging the first time I opened the package.
I guess there are worse things in life. I’ve noticed on several different brands of dog food that it states not for human consumption.
As far as letting the dog eat and drink from her utensils, I’d be careful about that. Dogs do have diseases and I’ve yet to see any dog that didn’t lick its privates. Long as she doesn’t start serving up turds on toast you should be fine as long is she is the only one doing it and doesn’t expect you to do it.
Most vets will tell you not to feed a dog table scraps. It’s just not good for them.
I have my own little dog, but he doesn’t get table food and I don’t eat his food. We have an agreement on that.
I’d watch the wife. If she starts howling at the moon you might want to cut back on her dog food.
