Dog food

[happyweasel]

Why does dog food smell so bad when it's supposed to be fit for human consumption?

[RATTER15]

Just because it is fit for human consumption doesnt mean it is to our taste, fit for human consumption just means it is fit for humans to consume, not to enjoy.

Oh I dunno- pop some on toast with a slice of cheese on top, 5 minutes under the grill............yummy!! ;-)

It only becomes dog food when you feed it to a dog - until then it is just meat!

ha ha, just try the toast thing with Butchers Tripe! Cheese or not, its going to come back up. Lankeela - I take it from your screen name you're fond of Lancashire Heelers? I knew a lady that ran our local ringcraft sessions who had one she showed. Managed an RCC with him too.

But if it is just meat, why does it smell so bad?

[lankeela]

Sorry to hijack the thread, but who is the lady with the Heeler (or the name of the dog) or even the area?

[Booldawg]

I think her name was Jackie she lived near Fernhurst in West Sussex, not sure how well known she'd be in the heeler world as she only showed the one dog and I dont think she bred or owned an affix.

[lankeela]

I do know Jackie, her dog was called Sparky, and she has had others that she has qualified in Working Trials as well as showing. The Heeler world is very small! We know all the dogs, if not the people!

Jackie also organises the Heeler contingent at Discover Dogs which is at Earls Court on 11th and 12th November.
Ideal place to visit if you are trying to decide on a breed or are just interested in dogs.

thats right Sparky, of course it was. I'm going back about 5 years now when we were still showing. I remember sparky used to stand on the stage at the village hall and bark at all the other dogs!
