Would you eat your pet's food?

Pedigree chum has been known to fill a hole.

Yes if it meant survival

Just curious

No! He deserves the very best, and I am not worthy, like on 27 November (his birthday) he had sirloin steak and gravy and we had a Sainsburys pie with chips and beans.

This thread prodded an old memory :O)

When I was a kid my parents went through some pretty tough times financially. One of their less successful money saving attempts was purchasing very cheap a bulk buy of tins where the labels had gone missing.

Cue shaking tins to guess contents (fruit in cans tends to slosh). Made for interesting meals. One in particular stands out as suspected of being chicken stew at cooking, and cat food at eating ...

Oh, and doggie choc buttons taste pretty good ...

No - Not under any circumstances

Long ago my cousin gave some guests kit-e-kat and cucumber sandwiches and told them it was salmon. They ate them without complaint.

Yes

Definitely, my dog eats what i do for the most part, minus the things he shouldn't have. He eats better food than most people i know, all home made. My only exception is when he has heart, the smell knocks me sick.

Wouldnt give my dog most conventional dog foods.

I don't think I'd enjoy gummed to death Wood Mice, Moths or spider legs very much.


Far too crunchy for me.





They quite enjoy my food, though.

Yes

Yes, and I have done on numerous occasions. Obviously I cook it first, of course

A friend of my Mum's has been quite ill recently after absent-mindedly eating a handful of the nuts as she was refilling a bird feeder in her garden.
Apparently they're treated with some kind of anti-fungal which is harmless to the birds but plainly not harmless to people.

No - Putting aside the strange folk of wanting to feed their pets better than themselves or human family .... Why would anyone want to??

Yes

If you're feeding him fresh meat, please can I ask why you're cooking it rather than feeding raw, which would be more nutrionally beneficial. Cooking destroys vital enzymes and minerals.
