    Why is everyone surprised?

    Frankly, dog food is the least disgusting thing she’s had in her mouth recently.

    She positively highlights that it comes from “protected” Canadian bison so there are “no hormones” and “no vaccines given to the bison”.

    These people are now claiming food, and pet food, need to be unvaccinated?

        On an industrial scale (like we have in the USA), yes, we vaccinate the hell out of livestock. I understand that it has to do with their terrible conditions and diets. If they weren’t vaccinated and fed antibiotics like crazy most wouldn’t make it to slaughter weight or be able to keep producing (milk or eggs).

        One example of cow vaccination information: https://extension.umn.edu/beef-cow-calf/cattle-vaccine-basics

          Eh, the antibiotics are only in part to keep them from dying. It also promotes faster growth. In actuality, the majority of the time they don’t need antibiotics to make it to slaughter.

            Furthermore, it’s been argued that this gung-ho attitude with antibiotics is promoting the growth of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.

        yes, because debilitating viruses could wipe out herds, especially for those factory farmers where animals are living in destitute situations.

        it’s also one of the reasons why eating horse meat is illegal in the U.S because horses are pumped with stuff because theyre raised to be companions for work rather than for consumption.

    As someone who worked at a place that boarded pets, you bet we tried most of the dog food at one point. The only thing I remember decently after all these years is that treats can be pretty decent. Someone had some chicken jerky, no spices or anything. That was certainly the best. Milkbones are bland and dry. Can’t remember much else, like kibble and such, which really just says it’s not horrendous and not great.

    This really completes the Trump-inner-circle motif. Team orange moron now includes couch humper Vance, the brain worm, Steve “Wannabe Hitler” Miller, and now welcoming dog chow Loomer!

      the brain worm

      Aren’t you forgetting RFK Jr is also the road-kill bear guy, whale head decapitator, dog diner and serial adulterer? He fits right in with the diaper wearing, Kotex ears and the “Beetle Juice” groping woman.

      Let’s be real, here. This lady and her ilk are a terror. But…it’s 2024. Dog food toppers are like, freeze dried peanut butter. Beef broth. Basically saltless human food.

      Why are we making this a big thing? I used to work in a dog food store. We would eat some sample treats that we’d get because they were basically sugarless cookies. And they’re all made in human grade factories because it’s a selling point. Shit, there was one dog treat company that made dog treats that were too sweet for me to enjoy.

      There is plenty of disgusting, vile, inhuman shit these people do. Why stretch for something to trash them with? Pick one of the millions of others right within reach.

    She should’ve eaten it like a normal person: as a dare when you’re like 8 years old.

      Definitely ate a milkbone on a dare as a kid… honestly I don’t even remember it tasting bad, the only thing I remember is that it was - unsurprisingly - dry as fuck.

        For the record, Hill’s Science Diet was gross. Maybe my friends should’ve dared me to eat a treat instead

      I buy my dog a particular brand of dog treat because the damn things smell SO GOOD. Literally like a bakery. I’ve never eaten one, but I take a big whiff of the bag every time it’s open.

        Alright, now you sound like my late uncle who told me how his carob dog treats were so high quality humans can eat them… I guess I ate more dog food as a kid than I initially thought, but they were NOT good

        I have an aunt that makes dog treats for sale at farmers markets.

        They’re basically peanut butter cookies. (I think the big thing is no salt, no sugar, and some special PB that’s not got additives.)

          I’m so confused. Why would take away your own single upvote? That zero looks sad. Like it’s saying “Even I don’t agree with what I’m saying!”

            They did the same in another thread. Perhaps they’re trying to upvote themselves not realizing it removes the point instead.

          Grandma Lucy’s organic dog treats are made to be fully human and dog safe and I find them just as tasty as the dog does. They’re like unsweetened Teddy Grahams. I know this because my brother-in-law gets them for his dog and is very amused to offer them as a snack to people as he and the dog both enjoy them.
