Dog food scam

. When a puppy is weaned he's given commercial dog food. They quickly learn that's what they have to eat to survive. That's what survival food taste like. They don't know what real food tastes like. They are programmed to eat what they're fed. Consider the excitement when they smell table food.It's real food.Dog owners are too lazy to consider a dog's taste of food. They buy commercial sales that their food "tastes like real beef". "Contain real chicken".. Real chicken includes heads, eye balls feet etc. Do you think they're dumping in landfill tons of chicken parts??? We're not to think about it.Just read the label..Read the human label about how great the food is for your pet.. What happens to be the heads, guts,etc. ? It's real chicken. Our Rotti that has passed on because of a breathing problem wouldn't come to the kitchen to eat. She wouldn't even look at Blue Buff Turkey but would wait in the kitchen and bark when I took too long to make her home cooked meal. I cooked for "my little brother" aka 15yo Pit Bull but thought our new rescue Pit would eat commercial. When I smelled it with added chicken and broth and it smelled the same going in as it would coming out, I'm now cooking. I just couldn't feed her dog food. .. Our new rescue 85# Pit checks her bowl a couple times not to miss flakes of oats etc. Commercial food is a scam .Would you eat it ?? Does it even smell,taste like food ?? Is it even human editable?? Our pets don't know the difference. They eat only to survive. Gullible people buy their products..Read the labels."taste like filet magnon" ??..Think about it... We, and our dogs are being scammed, big time....... Been there, done that.....

Hello. I do not agree with you, not always feed such kaimi you describe them. In fact, if the dogs are fed what they like, it can lead to not the most pleasant consequences. Initially, I also pampered my dog with everything he liked, including sweets. However, the sweets brought us a lot of unpleasant consequences. After a visit to the vet, my dog was put on a strict diet. We chose the best dog food which was both delicious and very healthy. After the dog began to eat good food, he became much more energetic and healthy, so be careful with the nutrition of your four-legged friends.

Having 4 dogs is good. There's always one in the room with you. ๐Ÿ™‚

If I drop a piece of lettuce on the floor and there is only one dog in the kitchen it gets ignored, but if there's 2 or more the closest dog will scarf it down in a flash. Sometimes before it even hits the floor. :B

Only my springers wouldn't eat off the floor. My bloodhound, all 150 lbs of him, could beat out any dog alive to get to food. There was no such thing as food hitting the floor with him around!

Whenever I give Sasha something new to eat she watches Sawyer to see if he eats it first.

I can even start to understand this rant. I thought it was a non English speaking spammer at first. Then I saw Jerry was a "senior" member.
Sorry Jerry, but there is so much non-sense in that,post, I'm genuinely concerned you've had some sort of episode.

Food Habits

Like coyotes, feral dogs have catholic diets and are best described as opportunistic feeders. They can be efficient predators, preying on small and large animals, including domestic livestock. Many rely on carrion, particularly road-killed animals, crippled waterfowl, green vegetation, berries and other fruits, and refuse at garbage dumps.

Feral Dogs


catholic = โ€œ including a wide variety of things; all-embracing.โ€

The Collies eat Pedigree dry food every day mixed with human food. They like frozen broccoli as a treat. It's not uncommon for them to get a hamburger from Wendy's or a chicken sandwich. If I have pizza they get a slice. I beleive moderation is important

I'm fine with feeding my dogs the same stuff every day - I know they are getting a balanced meal made specifically for dogs. I add a teeny bit of meat or veggies to their food, simply because it encourages them to eat. I'll share a small piece of apple - they seem to like almost all "people food" although dill pickles are met with a "thanks, but no thanks" walkaway....LOL!
