GOAT! Food! Goat food!

Dog Lover — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 11:39:31 +0000

I’ve seen this new snack food in the convenience store on campus that’s got a very eye-catching display and fancy package, but it also lacks a visible price tag and touts premium features like, you know, vitamins and protein and energy and health, or some approximation thereof, so I’ve avoided it in favor of the $0.25 Hostess cakes and saturated fats. Today, however, there are happy young marketers stationed all around the Student Center finally handing out free packages of healthy energy treats to convince us all that their new product is worth whatever unspecified mystery price. The snack is called GOAT, and it turns out they’re the brainchild of former heavyweight champ Muhammad “His momma called him Cassius, I call him Cassius” Ali: that would be Greatest Of All Time brand, not “goat” the animal – that are reduced in fat and calories, aimed at combating youth obesity and encouraging healthy lifestyles. No snack will contain more than 150 calories and all will be fortified with vitamins and fiber. The products will carry sporty, fighter names like “Rumble,” “Shuffle” and “Jabs” and come in flavors that include barbecued chicken, Buffalo wings, sweet corn and cole slaw, as well a sweet, fruit-based flavors. Portion sizes will be small, but they have been designed this way to fit into the current trend of “grazing” throughout the day. The other nice thing about the small portions is that you don’t have to eat as much of it, because oh my God these really are meant to be fed to goat-the-animal goats. I’m eating the “thrill-a-dill-a” flavor right now out of a small but sturdy silver bag that’s much more reminiscent of astronaut food packaging than traditional chips. The “snack food” comes in various shapes and colors — golden crescents, green and yes, brown, balls — that correspond to different “flavors” about as much as the marshmallows in Lucky Charms do. Except you wouldn’t rather feed Lucky Charms to your dog, so perhaps “Kibbles ‘n’ Bits” is the better analogy. The dominant feature of these balls in your mouth is the CRUNCH, which distracts you from the fact that it tastes like crispy styrofoam peanuts ever-so-lightly dusted with those fancy popcorn toppings you find in theaters these days. “Dill” indeed. Perhaps I should bust open the “big bad bbq” package and give them a try…. Okay, the sight test is already disappointing. The balls have gone from green and brown to rusty and browner, and the spicy-looking crescents are joined by some kind of cluster that reminds me of seagull poop — you know, how all the bits of shell and fishbone stick together in it? What, you’ve never inspected seagull poop? The cluster appears to be crisped rice and some other plant life and…and oh my God is it the worst thing I’ve put in my mouth since that one time at band camp. Holy jeez, I wouldn’t inflict this upon my dog. Though come to think of it, we’ve seen what dogs will eat. Verdict: do not put this product in your mouth. It should probably be saved for some kind of service in Iraq. And not against our troops, mind you.

How do Cats and Dogs know which is cat food and which is dog food?

Dog Lover — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 22:39:15 +0000

I have 2 cats and three dogs. One night, I ran out of cat food (the dry type) and my cats were hungry. So since I had dog food only and the shops were closed, I gave them dog kibbles. They’re more or less of the same shape and size and are made of the same ingredients – chicken. My cats took a nibble and refused the rest of the bowl, preferring to go hungry than eat dog food. The next day, i got them a fresh pack of made-for-cats kibbles and they immediately dived in and ate up. How come my cats knew what I gave them wasn’t cat food?

I also know of dogs that won’t eat cat food for the long run (not mine though, cos they’re pigs and will eat anything).

It would be good if a pet food manufacturer can answer this question. Is there some special ingredient you put in cat and dog food that makes cats and dogs know which kibbles is who’s? Also, nowadays, dogs are eating fish too – like salmon. You can’t say it’s the ingredient. How come they know the difference?

What are some homemade dog food recipes?

Dog Lover — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 12:07:58 +0000

I’m going to start making my dogs’ food because the food they’re on (for about a year) has recently given them upset tummies (I’m positive it’s that).

I’d like a few different dog food recipes, if you could give me some, that’d be great
Thanks.

Anyone else affected by Pet Food Call and dog having problems?

Dog Lover — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 09:47:21 +0000

My pomeranian has been having kidney problems lately. Also drinking lots of water. A couple of days ago, he stopped eating his dog food and started eating the cat’s food instead or his own dry food. I thought he was just getting old. Since he stopped eating his food, he hasn’t been peeing in the floor anymore and not drinking as much water. Heard about the pet food recall today. I have been feeding him the pet food that was recalled. I plan on calling the 1-800 number of the manufacturer tomorrow and also calling my vet. Was wondering if anyone else has has problems or has called the number?
