What were pet dogs and cats fed before commercial food?
Hi. I read in one of the "All Creatures Great and Small" books (about
the English vet in the 40's) details of diets. One time the main charecter told a small boy with a mangy, sick stray to feed him cooked meat with lots of vegetables. Another story in one of the series told about how he took a severly obese small dog, (Maltese, I beleive it said) and told the owner his weight was going to kill him. He put the dog out with his big, high-energy ones, and fed it on chicken and veggies. On a documentary about Alaskan dogs, it said the Eskimos fed (feed?) them mostly fish. I guess they can adapt to various things. Just like with prepared foods, some dogs may do great on one brand and another on something else. Jenny |
