Pet Food Recall Scare

Okay the pet food recall has been pretty scary for lots of people. Here's something interesting from that. 1. My boyfriend and I got into the question of whether dogs can eat human food and live happily? I think they can because I have a family dog who was vegetarian. Refused to touch meat. Vegetarian dog loved Indian food! She would eat rice, lentils, egg (for shiny coat), etc, loved to eat wheat tortillas homemade. There's some resources for vegan cat food too..but I will let you guys google that. I am allergic to cats..so not in my future. http://www.vegetariandogs.com/ - then I found this website. Neat huh? http://www.vnv.org.au/Articles/Dogs&Cats.htm - There are even companies catering to cruelty-free pet food in Australia. I was fascinated by this. 2. To be honest though, I prefer to make fresh food for the family dog. So know what is not edible to dogs/cats..etc..and then prepare normal food accordingly. Indian diet is great for dogs. Reduce the salt though and might want to blend the lentils. RESOURCES Vegetarian Dog Food Sources The Warm Store offers dog and cat food in their mail order catalog.
