Nope, you still can't shop at Petsmart with yoyr SNAP card

Most pet food is a reasonably complete human diet...I say we make them redeemable only at pet stores; give people some motivation to get off of them!

AAFCO is the petfood regulatory institute, unfortunately it is a volunteer organization, so no real controls. All sorts of nasty is in dog foods as well as poison and fertilizers that are not allowed for human consumption.
Lost a dog to cancer and started researching dog food and we no longer feed that crap to my dogs, my dogs are on human food. Costs more but worth my peace of mind!!

I had to pick up dog food last friday. As I was looking at the ingredients, I think I had a Pavlov's dog moment.

The dog food our aging Brittney has to eat that is prescribed by the Vet is just about as expensive as a ribeye per pound.

Well maybe you should be a good boy on occasion and work on you puppy dog eye's look!!

Being a good boy is boring.
The wild child attitude fits me more.

I'm pretty sure I've paid more per pound for some dog food than the meat that was on my plate!

I love this idea, Dave. Besides, I like pets more than most strangers (you guys are cool though).

Rethink this philosophy...

...an RV gives one too little room to try to run away, and in many of them, there is only one exit door.

Well, considering that the Dems have long claimed that the elderly and those on fixed incomes had to choose between food and medicine, maybe SNAP cards to buy dog food for human consumption isn't such a bad idea...

...oh, wait...

...that's a Democrat idea, so it must have not validity at all.

If one never goes inside, then one does not need to escape.
My wife prefers me to be outside, and with a mosquito net, I'm good with outdoors. I have a fold out kitchen , port for the TV, and wifi, so that covers my needs unless I'm in bear country.

The term "pet food" takes on a whole new meaning when yer starving...
