    My mom used to own a grooming shop, and everyone there liked eating the beef jerky made for dogs better then the stuff for humans. Buncha white ladies, pepper is spicy. Lol.

      My mom got a food dehydrator so she could make treats for her dogs. It’s slices of fruit or meat, nothing added, just dehydrated. My nephews saw her slicing bananas to make more of the fruit kind one day, and asked it they could have some. She got some that she’d already made out of the fridge and let them try it. They liked it, and even helped her lay out the fresh fruit on the tray to make the next batch. It was cute.

      That is, until they went home and proudly announced to their mom, “Grandma let us eat dog food!”

        Basically, yeah. If you’re around it long enough then natural curiosity is gonna get the better of you eventually, and then you find out it ain’t half bad and get a liking for it.

        We’ve gone the opposite direction in the last few years, though. We don’t buy dog food anymore, and just make our own because it’s cheaper (and can be purchased using EBT/food stamps) and better for them .
