Dog Food V. Cat Food


So my friend's dog always eats my other buddy's cat's food. I'm left to ponder, are dog food and cat food any different? Granted, there is a difference in mass and size. But really, other than that, any difference at all? What's more, who's going to do a taste test? I could do a fair and accurate poll of my friend's pets. Somehow, I don't think they'll be able to articulate their opinions to me. And while we're on the subject, how does a company know they have the best pet foods? Do these companies have their own prestigious panel of taste testers? I can see it now, five or so intelligent looking fellows, sitting around a board room table with their lab coats on, swishing around some Alpo in their mouths. "I detect an earthy note, with some hints of marjoram and thyme." In conclusion, let me be perfectly honest with you. It's all about the paycheck. If some fool wants to pay me $80,000 a year to be a Meow Mix taster, I say bring it on. I'm your huckleberry.

  1. I'm saddened to say that I've actually had dry cat food before... I was 12, so that's my defense ;)

  3. Well, duh, they get those talking pets on TV to taste test their foods! If it's good enough for the Taco Bell chihuahua (I know he passed -- I mean his replacement), it's good enough for me!
