My stepson is 6yrs old and loves eating
dry dogfood. I keep telling my husband
that it isn't healthy. But he won't
believe me. I keep telling him that if it
was good for people to eat, wouldn't
everyone be eating dogfood. Where can i
find information about dogfood and how it
isn't healthy for people to eat, maybe if
he reads it he will believe me. PLEASE
HELP!!!!!!

Dog food is not harmful to humans. Many
many children eat dog food and none of
them are harmed. Heck, I ate dog food as a
child once or twice. The only danger to
children is the fact that dog food is
often very crunchy and poses a choking
hazard.
To solve this problem is easy. First, tell
you stepson it's bad behavior. Secondly,
make sure the bag of food is out of his
reach either on a shelf or locked in a
cupboard. Thirdly, feed your dog meals,
instead of having food sit out all day in
a dish. Watch the dog eat. This way, you
can prevent your stepson from eating the
food.

I
had to laugh when I read this. My brother
and I used to do this, and we were about
six years old! I never got sick, and then
I think my mother told us it was made from
worms or something. Well that stopped me
right away, let me tell you! But of
course the advice in the last post is much
better than lying

Of course another solution is to get
better dog food.

I used to eat dog food when I was around
six years old & I agree that the only
problem is that you have a risk of
chocking. I guess what you could do is
tell your son that if he keeps on eating
it worms will grow in your stomach, my mom
told me that & I stopped eating it.

Tell him the truth. Let him know what dog
food is really made of. And that would be
animal by products. Meaning the ears,
tounge, testicles and who knows what else.
I have a funny feeling that will put a
stop to his habit.

I do know as long as the side of the bag
reads: MEETS OR ACCEEDS the AAFCO
standards this is a good dog food. I
preferred dog biscuits over dog food, but
its not gonna hurt him. I also would read
him the ingredients and add a few such as
chicken blood, beaks, chicken feet ground
up, intestines...you get the picture!
