| What to do with rejected food? Is it bad to give a neighbor low-quality dog food you don’t need anymore because you’ve found a better diet?
What do you do with rejected dog food? I have mostly-full or unopened bags of Pedigree, Purina, Science Diet, and Milkbones that I probably won’t ever use again. We seem to have a good system of real food (mainly chicken breast, diced carrots, diced apples, yoghurt, and yak cheese, sometimes with bread or rice) supplemented with a small handful of puppy food each day (this is only second day for Innova, but so far so good). Puppy licks the bowl clean every time and is becoming more regular with toilet. But now I have all of this leftover kibble that seems wasteful to throw away. My neighbor feeds her dog Purina, and I was thinking about offering it to her, but it seems wrong to enable others to give their dogs unhealthful reject food.
Funny discovery: Puppy responds more enthusiastically to carrots than biscuits as reward treats. I never would have considered that an option until I saw it suggested on this forum. |
