What were pet dogs and cats fed before commercial food?
Ajanta wrote:
Are there any records on what people fed their pet dogs and cats before modern commercial food became available? Were dogs and cats fed different foods as we now insist they must be? They were fed table scraps and at least on farms, they were supposed to be catching mice and other vermin too. I grew up on a farm, and every day my mother would put out a meal for the dogs and cats--whatever leftover meat and vegetables and eggs were available. Barn cats also hung around the barn at milking time and would get a bowl of fresh milk. It wasn't until my dad retired and came home with a Pekingnese dog that my parents began buying commercial dog food. -yngver |
