Have you ever stopped eating a particular food because you found out what was in it. I've just stopped eating yogurt that is red in color (strawberry, raspberry, etc). Found out they get the red coloring from crushed bugs.

Dog food ingredients..sm
One of my dogs has a corn allergy - causes sneezing, wheezing, coughing, skin welts with itching. I also stay away from meat and poultry by-products. I used to order his food from Drs Foster and Smith. After a long search, I finally found a dog food I can buy at Tractor Supply that meets his needs, and they have a weight management formula too - he is about 10 pounds overweight.

Honestly if you try to examine the ingredients in almost everything these days, crushed bugs sounds harmless by comparison what with all the toxins, preservatives and other chemicals poured into manufactured food. It's no wonder cancer is everywhere - we are a toxic wasteland.
Food ingredients
Ever since my daughter became a vegetarian a few years ago she is always looking at what's in foods so she can avoid anything with animal products in it. She won't chew certain gum because it has animal bones in it. The same with jello. If you look at how they make gelatin you'd never eat it. Yuck!
pet food ingredients
Google commercial pet food ingredients, that is what is causing your problem, go all natural holistic human grade and grain free food and your problem will be solved.
commercial pet food ingredients
I have posted this before, thought I would post it again for those who had not seen it.
The foods you describe are of low grade ingredients, and certainly not human grade, if you want to learn more, please take the time to look at the below link.
I have tested this myself. I feed Innova a grain-free product to my 4 cats. I have had to switch to a commercial brand rarely because of availability issues and I find they eat double of the commercial brand over the high quality brand. I feed 2 cups of Innova dry a day, when I have had to switch in the past, I have had to up that by 4 cups a day of the regular grocery commercial food because they are having to eat more to fulfill their nutritional requirements, so you really do come out even in the long run, plus you are providing human grade nutrition to your loved companions. It also helps cut down on vet bills because your companions will be healthier in the long run. I hope this helps.

I love her recipes, but WAY too many ingredients
I had a bunch of her books but ended up selling them on ebay cuz I never had all the ingredients on hand and didn't want to spend a fortune getting them.
sounds like mixing flamable ingredients...
both these dogs have bred-in tendencies towards violence. Its part of their nature. Not to say it can't work, but personally, i would not try it. But then, i wouldn't have either of these breeds either.
Topaz, the ingredients you use make my mouth water
Most everything, the olives, artichokes, chicken or tuna and the dressing (home made in my case as hubs makes) just is right up my alley. I just finished some chicken salad hubs made yesterday (he had baked a chicken a day or so before and had left over chicken so had to put that to some good use). I am so spoiled. For dinner yesterday my daughter over and he fixed 2 kinds of spaghetti sauces, 1 white garlic sauce with shrimp and the other heavily tomatoed with garlic. What you describe above is exactly like I love to eat! Good both ways, like you say.
Nothing unusual, but
my hubby's sister is Kim, she married a Keith, they have a Kerri, and Kelli. Oddly enough the last child's name starts with a Z! Guess that's to signify he's the last, LOL.
Not unusual, unfortunately
When I worked on site at the hospital our lead and QA (same person) did this right to our face! It got so people were scared to even knock on her door (she kept it closed), even the trainees she was supposed to take care of herself. Everyone including the new people thought it was them! Finally we all started writing her notes to ask about our schedule, QA input, etc. I myself saw her crumple my note to her right after I handed it to her. I wanted to cry. At that time I had been in the business for over 15 years.
True, sometimes leads or QA are busy. But it is their JOB to train, and uphold professional standards. They are serving us if you were to look at the customer service chain. And if they treat us, the "customer" that way, they will sure to lose business. It is amazing to me, however, that after all the people who left that job at the hospital for the last 7 years, she is still there. From what I understand she does less than ever and the bigger boss apparently is too timid to say anything. Well, squeaky wheel gets the grease. I can tell you I would never be that way as a manager, especially with people as talented as MTs. Please don't take it to heart. It is them not you!
That is unusual
Just make sure that he isn't acting strangely. A lot of times when animals change their habits like that they could be sick (rabies). Be careful, but they are really cute.
I know that this is unusual for some people...
but I have a pet rat. I had 2, but one died after breaking her leg by climbing. I never thought I would get a rat, but fell in love with them after caring for a snake for my father-in-law and then went and bought a rat after we got rid of the snake.
They are just like hamsters, but without the negative aspects. You have to get used to the tail. That was a bit much at first, but now I don't even notice.
It's like having a hamster, except rats do not bite. They might nipple a little bit until you train them. They learn their names, are highly intelligent. You can train them to do tricks fairly easy. My rat is shoulder trained and will ride on my shoulder when I clean, go for car rides, etc. She knows her name and comes to it when I call her. They are VERY social animals. They have the personality of a dog and are fairly easy as far as maintenance. If you are interested in more info, let me know and I will tell you all the tips I learned along the way to keeping a healthy/happy rat.
Also, she is from a pet store, no diseases, very clean. This is not the same as getting a rat from around the house/outside. These rats are bred, and they even have rat shows, ha!
Here is an unusual bird
The lyre bird is a mimic, but does much more than just other birds! See link below.
Anyone have unusual pets?
Any a bit out of the norm pets out there? And those who have more popular pets, any interesting tricks or traits?  (like beer drinking fish ... Lol)
I agree about the unusual spellings
I actually have a "K" name with only four letters and even when I spell it to people a lot of times they write it wrong. It used to be uncommon but now it is becoming more popular.
That's why all the names I suggested below (except possibly "Korinna") are names that are usually spelled with a "K."
I liked Butterscotch - unusual talent....
I care because if poster is doing something unusual

I don't know about unusual, but I have the cutest dog that ever lived! SM

Not unusual at all - my DH had one growing up and still talks about how smart it was! (nm)
.
Because it is unusual that people speak ONLY one language!..nm

Back in 1990 we had an unusual cold snap, and (sm)
the lakes & ponds here froze over, as well as local swimming pools. It showed on the news that people were ICE-SKATING on one of the lakes in Golden Gate Park!
It's nice, but food prices insane and food is really bad,
xx
My cat only eats dog food and won't eat cat food or even tuna.
LOL
I am using Angel Food Network for help with food (sm)
Being much more careful not to waste food. No more fast food. Soda only if bought in a two-liter bottle, not singles or fountain. Most of my money waste was spent on food.
Pet food recall -- dog food and cat food

Puppy eating cat food, cats eating puppy food...
So I have three cats and a five month old puppy.
Cats eat Felidae, Puppy eats Canidae... or at least that is how it is supposed to be.
Both species eat mainly dry, but puppy gets wet at night when she is in "her room" (kitties do not go in puppy's room at night).
I cannot keep kitties out of Candiae and I cannot keep puppy out of Felidae
Can I relax or is this going to hurt either of them?
Advice very much appreciated!
TIA
cat food
My dog eats the cat food all the time, no problems. I was actually told that when dogs are sick and won't eat it is good to give them cat food because it is so tasty to them. My cat also will eat the moist dog food with no problem. I wouldn't worry about it.
dry cat food
Please please educate yourself on your animal companion's needs when it comes to diet and nutrition, please read below article for some exceptional insight into our cats and their food requirements. This is only one site, but there are many more that support these facts.

I don't put anything on my food....
except maybe a little salt and butter on my veggies. No ketchup, no mustard, no mayo, no syrup on my pancakes, just a tiny bit of salad dressing to taste. Been that way my entire life.
Sorry. I was only looking for the food rec
and didn't see the sad stuff.
Red food dye #5 in the food. sm
Most dog foods have red food dye in them and many labs and lab mixes are allergic to red food dye. Try finding a food without the red food dye and give it a couple of weeks. You'll probably see a HUGE difference.

Iams is giving away free pet food if you register at
iamspromise.com thought I would share for all you pet lovers
Cat food
Has anyone fed their cat Science Diet's CD dry food for FUS? My 8-year-old male, Sam, has been on this for about 5 years with no recurrence of FUS. To keep him away from any other type of food, I have fed the other two the same; however, we now are up to 6 cats, 4 males/2females, and it is getting too expensive. Thinking I could feed all of them a very good dry food and add some CD to Sam's, but cannot decide what would be a good choice.
Thank you.
I never put pet food out just to put out but
I was going to try to feed the Great Dane (she ran off before I could get outside). I am not really in country, have close neighbors but woods behind our homes and see deer and such in the neighborhood (out in my yard twice since 2004). There is a wildlife preserve a few streets away where the other animals seen including geese, deer and the coyotes. I just try to feed all animals who come in the yard-if they act friendly enough.
Food
Fish.....baked, fried, broiled, grilled....
Always have food with him.
I haven't been there since the 1980s, and even then the cheapest food we could find in a restaurant was about a $9 hamburger!
What is it with the food?
We got very nice gifts this year but also ended up with more food items than usual; Harry and David Moose Munch, Hickory Farms fudge, Harry and David truffles, Harry and David double chocolate cashews, homemade cookies, and a homemade carrot cake loaf! It is all really good, but I have a belly ache from eating all of this stuff. Not to mention I will surely pack on the pounds if I keep eating it. LOL
NS food sm
I thought most of the food was fine. You can choose what you'd like by going to their website. It's very easy, it keeps track of what you have and need to get still (like how many desserts, or lunches, etc) Believe it or not, their hambergers (IMO) were delicious!!! Good luck!! You will find yourself not able to eat all of what you are supposed. I liked NS, but it just got expensive for me (not really that bad, but I have a hubby and two kids and still needed to do grocercy shopping trips for them).
Food
She could cook her host family a meal of foods common to America that they may be unfamiliar with.
This isn't as diverse but maybe as a reminder of her she could give them a state tree, state flower, or other from her hometown.
food
Pork Rinds
Tripe
Velveeta
Cheez Whiz
Prune Juice
dog food
You are correct, the grocery store pet food is all pretty poor quality filled with carcinogens and unhealthy carbs and anything else in the slaughter house not fit for human consumption. Someone opened my eyes to these ingredients about 5 years ago and I was horrified. Google commercial pet food ingredients. I feed all my animals human grade holistic pet food, yes more expensive, but they eat less and have a lot less health problems eliminating expensive vet visits so in the long run it is cost effective. Some great ones are New Balance, Wellness, Innova, California Natural, Solid Gold to name a few. I consider myself an expert on this subject after educating myself after my beloved collie died of cancer, could kick myself because it never occurred to me to wonder what was in her food, just figured it was good, NOT! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. You are always so helpful in your tech answers, maybe I can help you in this one area. Good luck.
What food do you not like to eat?
This is the food that I refuse to eat:
Carbonated beverages
Mayo (Mayonnaise)
Tomatoes
Onion
Spicy Food
Jalapeņos
Plain Milk (In cereal it is ok)
Bananas
Beer
champagne
soy milk
coffee
olives
hot peppers
green & red peppers
parmesan cheese
blue cheese salad dressing
raspberry vinaigrette salad dressing
spinach
coconut
mango
tofu
eggplant
yams
cottage cheese
artificial cheese (Mac & Cheese in a box)
cheese flavor gold fish crackers (Bad memory when I got sick as a kid from eating too many)
There is probably more, but this is what I can think of now.
Food Stamps
I just got back from the store and the lady in front of me had 2 small kids and paid with food stamps. When I was loading my groceries in my car, she was putting her children in car seats and driving a BRAND NEW CADILLIAC ESCALDE!! This thing was LOADED! Grrrrrrrr!
Maybe she was buying food for someone?
If your car is above a certain value, you don't qualify for food stamps.
She may have buying food for someone with their food stamps/food stamp card.
Ask your vet which food they ALL can eat. BTDT nm.

food stamps
The thing is that some people do abuse the system and always will. But I do think there are people who really need help sometimes.
how about chewing food?
or worse yet, drinking (slurping) quite rude, I think!
I was at all inclusive but had the food out from
there and what I had was delicious. One side trip we took was a trip up the river and a BBQ dinner in a cleared out space. I did not stay exclusively in the all inclusive, too much to see in the shopping, restaurants, etc. I really would go back again. That is 1 trip that I really loved.
It is probably food related.
Have you switched foods lately? Most gas is food related in dogs and cats. High quality can still give the toots.
My cat is in the ICU due to poisoned food.
My cat is in the hospital with an IV due to kidney failure. I have tried twice to call Menu Foods to find out about filing a claim to cover the vet bill, but no one has called back. My poor cat is the innocent and has to suffer at the hands of whoever put the poison in the wheat gluten. Has anyone who is experiencing this with their pet been able to get through? I'm heartbroken that I may lose her. Even though I have two dogs, the house seems lonely.
