Anyone ever eat dog/cat food as a kid? (worms, monkey, how)

I dont know why I did but I use to eat dog food. I use to feed it to my baby sister too. I was cruel. Its not as good as it looks

I can remember sharing a milkbone with our standard poodle. Wasn't bad.

My answer is no, no, and no.

I had a friend that used to eat mini Milkbones. They didn't even have a dog.

Many years ago I worked in a pet store, and have tried most types of (dry) pet food at one time or another.

The best tasting is Monkey Chow, it would make a great breakfast cereal

Who hasn't!! I still eat the stuff on dares from my girlfriend. She always offers money on dares. I'm no fool, hand me the money.

Then she gripes when it grosses her out!! Tried a few mealworms too!! Yumm!

Those Snausages and Beggin' Strips smell tastier than human beef jerky. This is reason #62 I thank God daily that I am not blind.

Yes, I've tried dried dog and cat kibble. Cat is yummier.

I also used to eat (not taste) wet tuna cat food. I loved it - my mum hated any kind of seafood and as a result never bought any for us.

I had to force myself to stop eating it - I knew it was wrong - but it tasted great.

Pretty embarrassing. I was between the ages of 9 and 10 when I did this.

MilkBone, yes. Actual "dog food" -- canned or kibble -- no.

Ha! About 6 years ago, I bought my dog some Beggin' Strips, and he went NUTS for them. And they DO smell good, so I wondered what they actually tasted like. I took a TINY...tiny, tiny, tiny...bite of one Beggin' Strip, and promptly started wiping my tongue with a napkin. Ptooey! Yuk! They didn't taste foul. They didn't really have much of a taste at all (which was surprising, considering how odorous they were). It was more of a texture thing...pasty, waxy, plastic-y. Yuk.

I have read that with dogs, it's not about the taste as much as it's about the smell or texture. I dunno. Maybe that's true, maybe it's not. My dog LOVES apples, frozen green beans, and MilkBones, none of which seems particularly odorous. But they're crunchy, so maybe that's the appeal.

I used to chew on milk bones, funny they are supposedly different flavors but they all tasted the same to me. I quit when I broke a molar on one, they have odd bits like sand in them.

I heard from a nutritionist that if on a desert island the one best food to have would be dog food. It contains all the nutrients a human needs.
