dogfood and catfood for survival

Ottoshot, do you guys sell your stuff to form the basis for MREs, too? :D

Hillbilly, LOL. :D

It would have to get pretty bad before I started eating dog or cat food.

Yeah, by the time I decided dog food was my only option, proper nutritional value wouldn't be my main concern.:rolleyes:
 
As for phosphoric acid, read the ingredient list on the next bottle of soda you buy.

A friend of mine told me he found a bag of snacks on the counter of his home that he thought was labeled pepperoni. He ate a few and he told me he thought they tasted a little waxy and bland. Closer examination of the bag revealed the label said Pup-peroni.

dog treats

I don't think I would have shared that.

:eek:

sounds like mixing up Snausages with Combos :p great thread ;)
 
I suppose it could very well happen although I'm not sure where you would be stuck where dog and cat food would be the only available option...stuck in a petsmart maybe? I don't know but hopefully most of us would be more knowledgable and prepared to have to resort to petfood. I could think of several things I'd eat before Purina. Roots tubers berries bugs various rodents as long as I deduced they were free of disease I might be able to contract. Boiled boot leather carp various birds (except pigeons) turtles snakes I could think of literally thousands of things I'd go for before dog food. Including my dog.
 
hahhaha well yeah, something like that, stuck in some wherehouse in the dog n catfood section or something


actually some catfood smells really good, they say they make the taste so as to it fall to the liking of the pet owners, not the pets

..coz the pet owners have to buy the stuff

This is easily remedied by eating the internal organs and eyeballs, which have plenty of fat.

kiahs, agreed, but just adding a caveat to this general rule: it depends on the size of the animals, size of the person/people eating them, environment (i.e. how many calories are expended to meet your needs), and several other factors related to caloric consumption. A person still can possibly fall short and continue the starvation.

Agreed. That's why a diet consisting mainly of rabbit should be supplemented with the occasional can of Alpo. :thumbup::D
 
Cats can't live on just dog food, because cats require Taurine to live, so it is added to cat foods. Until recently, it was not believed to be needed for dogs, so it is typically not added to dog foods.


PS, The most consistent reason that company representatives gave me when I spoke to them back in 1999, for dog & cat feeds being made safe for human consumption was simply to cover their butts from product liability lawsuits, from small children ingesting family pets food.

How many of us have seen some little kid grab dried pet food from a bowl???

Imagine if it was really poisonousness.

I had an uncle die from eating dog food! My aunt gave the dog some canned food and put the rest on a saucer, covered it with Saran wrap and put it in the fridge. My uncle, thinking it was dip of some kind, ate it and died!
HOW DID HE DIE?
Later that evening he was sitting on the couch, licking his gonads and he fell off and broke his neck!

My uncle went much the same way, EXCEPT after eating it, he decided to go outside. Apparently he saw a car, chased it, and got runned over by a truck! Poor bastid, he was only 8. . .in dog years.:D
 
Thought I should mention, my father remembers seeing want ads in the papers around Allentown, PA for dog food testers. There is, or was, an Alpo facility there. For the record, I'd rather die than eat "Mr. Ed's colon in a can' flavored morsels. Yuck. I agree some dog treats are tempting though, especially when my other choice is my wife's cooking!
 
When the cat food runs out, I can always step outside and have some kitten-nuggets. :D

Cats are primarily carnivores. Dogs are a bit more omnivores. Cat food has more animal protein and fat than dog food. They tend to fill dog food with grain as well as animal byproducts. Cats tend to get urinary tract infections if their food is not sufficiently acidic. They add phosphoric acid to cat food for urinary tract health.
