I was curious, has anybody else tried their pets food? - Pet forum for dogs cats and humans

LOL, okay I know this sounds weird, but I had to ask.

I feed Vlad and Oksana Hills Science Diet for kittens, which they like, and two or three times a week, I give them some good wet food from Nutro Max cat.

Yesterday when I gave them their kibbles, I sat on the floor, listening to them crunch away, and wondered how hard the kibbles were. I'm always concerned that it might be too hard for their little teeth. Sooooo... I took one and bit into it. Not as hard as I thought, and actually kind of tasty. LOL, then I thought, "Am I nuts?"

So, has anybody here ever been THAT curious about their cats food?

Please tell me I'm not crazy.

i also opened a can of salmon and greens and ill tell ya woth a liitle food coloring and some salt it actually seemed like it woild be tasty

BTW hows vald doing he recovered ok?

Oh thank you for asking! He's back to his old self. I think it was a combination of the neutering and just all the boxes and packing. I'm getting them some Feliway and will have it in the new place before I bring them over, just to make the transition easier for them.

And I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. LOL, I have to say, their canned food smells pretty good.

I remember the merrick's grammy pot pie used to look good enough to eat, but I never tried it. You are a brave soul.

ancientgirl · #5 July 18th, 2007, 09:15 AM

LOL, a curious soul!

No. :warped:

Kristin7 · #8 July 18th, 2007, 10:40 AM

LOL! I have not tried what I feed them now, though have in the past been tempted by certain types of wet food. When I was a kid I tried my dogs 'Kibbles & Bits' - gross!

ancientgirl · #9 July 18th, 2007, 10:44 AM

LOL, the wet food looks kind of nasty, although the stuff I feed them looks like pate'. I'm sure it doesn't taste like that though.

happycats · #10 July 18th, 2007, 11:36 AM

Nope. Some of it smells real good though.

And I did eat milkbones when I was a kid

I liked the light coloured ones best!

ancientgirl · #11 July 18th, 2007, 11:45 AM

It sure does smell good.

Frenchy · #12 July 18th, 2007, 11:47 AM

I did taste kibble when I was a kid , and I did taste the salmon treats and satin balls (

) when I first made them for the fuzzbutts. It smelled so good , boy , was I disapointed

happycats · #13 July 18th, 2007, 11:49 AM

We did get my brother (on a dare) to eat a whole can of "dr ballards" dog food when we were teen's!!! He said it wasn't bad

I always thought gaines burgers looked quite appealing.

Totally OT, LOL, but I really CAN tell the difference between brown M&M's and the colored ones! People don't believe me until I prove it to them.

I've been blindfolded and given different M&M's and can always tell which one is brown. I'm not a big chocolate fan and the browns ones have a tinge more bitterness (that's how chocolate tastes to me, bitter) than the colored ones do. It's true! LOL!

And back on topic, I tried dog food out of curiosity as a kid, but not since then.

I also ate milkbones when I was a kid, preferably green ones. Brothers and sisters always argued over them. When I switched dog food from Nutro to Innova, the girl at the store said that the company wouldn't feed pets anything they wouldn't eat themselves. When I got it home I tried it, not too bad but I think I will leave it for the dogs.

mummummum · #19 July 18th, 2007, 01:36 PM

I have been known to snack on the dawg's neenie-butter & apple treats as well as their veggie & garlic ones ~ but I make 'em so I known what's in them. They are too "tooth-breaking" crunchy for me these days so no more "walk n' snack". I haven't tried their Orijen fishy food ~ yet.

it sure does smell FISHY though !!

Come to think of it, as a kid I used to eat the pale milk bones too ~ mostly to amuse and gross out my friends though.

ancientgirl · #20 July 18th, 2007, 01:38 PM

LOL, milk bones seem to be quite popular with kids.

SableCollie · #21 July 19th, 2007, 05:40 PM

Yup I ate milkbones as a kid...the different coloured ones that were supposed to be different flavors. They all tasted the same to me, just kind of a bland taste. I tried kibble as a kid too. The worst was when I decided to try my rabbit's food, wow was that bitter!

My cousin ate canned cat food once and said it wasn't that bad, but I wouldn't try it!

Sometimes now when I cook for my dog, I am tempted to just eat some of her food so I don't have to make another meal for myself.

rainbow · #22 July 19th, 2007, 05:50 PM

The only things I've tried are my home-made salmon treats, heart treats and any dog cookies. The salmon treats and heart treats are the best......the cookies are alright but not sweet enough.

ancientgirl · #23 July 19th, 2007, 06:51 PM

LOL, see now I don't feel nuts!

heidiho · #24 July 19th, 2007, 07:10 PM

No your not,i was always curious,and one night mark had the right amount of beers took a handful of Solid Gold and ate it,said it wasnt to bad,tasted like hay.

ancientgirl · #25 July 19th, 2007, 07:14 PM

LOL, I have to admit, its only a matter of time before I try their wet food too. I maybe be too curious for my own good.

heidiho · #26 July 19th, 2007, 07:42 PM

Man just the smell,i cant do it,although i am curious at times.

one time I was baking cookies for the dogs (meat baby food and other ingredients I don't remember) a GF of mine was at my place, her BF arrived later and said he didn't know what was cooking but it sure smelled great, so we told him I was baking cookies ... and he had one. Said it wasn't so bad (trying to stay polite?) and then we told him. We had a good laugh.
