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 😩

    We used to do that too. Dog happily inhaled it, as dogs are wont to do. Eventually, dog had a stomach torsion. Had to have surgery. Miraculously survived. We kept feeding it rice stew (we’re idiots, you see), dog kept inhaling it, despite warnings by the vet not to let it eat fast (how!?) and us trying our best (except not feeding him that kind of food, of course; as I said, idiots). Got second stomach torsion, second surgery. Didn’t survive. Everyone was sad. If your dog is medium to large (or smaller but with a wide chest) be careful it doesn’t eat too fast.

      Instead of giving all the food at once you can give it in small chunks. It is more time consuming though. Sorry about your dog.
