This probably applies to other animals kept as pets, but right now I’ll talk about dogs.
I think dogs deserve to eat real, varied food instead of the same industrial feed every single day. Have you noticed how they always seek “human” food, even when they might already have food in their bowl? I think they just don’t want to eat the same processed crap everyday! They want real food! I think the fact that they would do anything for a miserable pizza border is proof enough.
That’s it, I just felt like I needed to tell someone. Thanks for reading, and apologies if the post sounds angry or something, remaking the post now would be too much work 😩
Dogs are dogs, they don’t have the same complex taste buds humans have, and they don’t have the same sentience and long term thinking that humans do.
That being said, throw in some bone broth into their dry kibble. Give some table scraps. Supplement with canned food. Eating single proteins builds a simple gut microbiome and isn’t super healthy, but there are dogs that are perfectly healthy and happy dogs that live off Old Roy dog food 24x7
Dogs deserve as much as we can provide, but they also don’t NEED as much as we think. They want to be included, and the most pampered, and well fed dogs will still ask for a little of your food.
