| About 12, working in a pet shop, I think Alpo. A few years later ate it for a year, 1965-66 in Vietnam, our C-Rations had many cans made by Alpo, stamped on bottom of can, lol. |

| I think I was probably 5 or 6. I just had to know what food my dog was eating tasted like for some reason. It was Red Heart Canned Dog Food and I remember thinking it wasn't that bad!!!

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Omg, no way ! I'm hoping they just used Alpo as the canning factory, maybe bc they ran out of maxed-out canning factories on the human-food end?

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | OMG!!! Whoa. That's just terrible! How's the weather down in Tucson today? Here in Phx the high is ONLY 75 and I'm just ecstatic! I am not ready for these 90-110 degree days...not ready one bit. I feel like we never had a proper winter either...it was so warm.

| In 70's, windy (20+mph), looks like it might rain, cloudy and gloomy. We've had a super mild winter, picked our last tomato in Feb and picked our first from new crop last week, been picking peppers, including Bells fore several weeks. Better then Alpo (keeping on thread topic) |

| Do you remember Science Diet Max Stress? Used to feed it to my working dogs, came in a Metal 5 gal bucket, wish they still made it, made their coats shine. Try raised Beds, better drainage, grow almost all our vegges and use the $1.99 clear plastic drop cloths to cover through winter. Your 10 degrees hotter so might need to screen for shade June-July |

I don't think I ever tasted dog food. If I did, it may have been my rotten brother served me a little Gaines-Burger. Remember those awful things? Can't believe we fed those to our first dog. A few months ago, the bank gave us a milkbone and I had to use my teeth to crack off smaller pieces for Max and Teddy. Yuck! They thought it was the best thing in the world.

| Did the Alpo taste filthy to you or did you think it wasn't that bad at age 12?

| We were poor, so it tasted like the meat in canned beef stew, not bad then, but wouldn't be thrilled now. Towards the end with Sig we were trying any food we could to get Sig to eat, if only once, just to get food in her. Some really looked and smelled good. |

| Oh, my, the things we do for our dogs! I remember when I tasted my dog's food, I just wanted to share his food as a buddy experience or something - a kind of blood-brother bonding. And I was so curious how it tasted. Tippy was practically like a brother to me as we got him when I was just a little past toddler age and somehow I felt closer to him after having eaten some of his food so now we were practically one and the same! Kids!

| I was eight the first time I tasted dog food...it was a little piece of a MilkBone. It tasted a little like Grape Nuts! Chicken flavored toothpaste does not taste like chicken!
