From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Dog food is food intended for consumption by dogs or other canine. Special types of dog food, given as a reward, and not as a staple, are known as dog treats. Some people make their own dog food, feed their dogs meals made from ingredients purchased in grocery or health-food stores or give their dogs a raw food diet. Many others rely on commercially manufactured dog food. There are varying opinions on what type of diet is best for dogs. Some argue that dogs have thrived on leftovers and scraps from their owners for thousands of years and that commercial dog foods (which have only been available for the past century) contain poor-quality meats, additives, and other ingredients dogs should not ingest. Some maintain that commercial dog food is not nutritionally sufficient. Commercial dog foodThere are many varieties of commercial dog food to choose from.Most store-bought dog food comes in either a dry form (also known in the US as kibble) or a wet canned form. Dry food contains 6-10% moisture by volume, as compared to up to 78% in canned food. Semi-moist foods have a moisture content of 25-35%. Pet owners often prefer dry food for reasons of convenience and price. Besides the lower price, dry pet food can also be left out for the animal to eat at will over the course of several days; whereas canned food spoils or becomes unappetizing after several hours. On the other hand, canned food has a longer shelf life than dry food. Canned food can also contain more protein and fat than dry dog food. From Wikipedia under the

I just ask a question on what food dogs can't eat and there was a long list, practically almost everything. I am planning to get a dog and want to know everything I can. Asked by Cupids Flower - Mon Jun 25 03:14:07 2007 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments A. Many people decide to cook at home for their pets, which is being suggested by many vets. There has been an uproar about what dogs are allergic to. I read an article about Golden Retrievers. It said that Goldens can be sensitive to corn, wheat and soy. Their food consists of wheat, so basically, many Golden Retrievers were having problems that could be easily avoided. "People food" has turned out to be OK for dogs, but not too much. But of course, stay away from chocolate etc. As I said, many people have turned to cooking for their dogs.

I mean ya some dog food is alright, but how come dogs will basically eat anything either dog or human food, but humans will only eat human food? Asked by Mike - Tue Jul 22 13:49:48 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. Dogs will also eat poop...and I don't know about you,but I don't find that appealing at all. Humans are a higher species (well they should be, I've met some people that make me wonder!) and use all 6 senses to enjoy their food. Eating for us isn't based on survival anymore, especially if you're american. It's become one of our favorite past times! Dogs eat to survive. If it looks edible, they try it.

Q. He is on nd Prescription now, but he has started to bite his paws. I think it's from this food. I want to switch to an organic dog food. What type do you suggest? Asked by LoboDog - Sat Feb 10 13:05:06 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. I would ask your veterinarian before you switch to anything because the N/D is a diet formulated for dogs with cancer and since it is a prescription you really need to ask first. I think that Science Diet is the only company that currently manufactures a diet designed for dogs with cancer, but I am not positive. I have heard of a study where the dog with cancer was put on high level of fish oils and it helped some, but there have been no definitive tests saying that it helped.
