Because it’s the easiest way of ensuring that your pet gets a balanced diet.
I wonder how long it will be before they bring out a complete balanced food for children? I bet it would sell like hot cakes.

I was advised by my Vet never to give my dog kitchen scraps b’coz it was not good for them. They could not get all the vitamins and nutrients they needed from scraps.
Before the war small pure breed dogs were not as popular as they are now. A small pure bred dog’s system is not as hearty as a mutt’s therefor they need foods designed especially for them. Feed pure breed dogs table scraps and you have an over weight dog and that is not good.
But you are correct…..Pets are a booming business now! You also never heard of dog or cat treats and toys either.

Oh, get a grip. Animals need a balanced diet, and BETTER pet food companies have done thier research and now we have Solid Gold Katzen Flocken, Innova, Evolve, etc.
A healthy diet means a healthy immune system.
I’ve worked at a vet’s, and I’ve seen dogs that’ve gotten
’spoiled’ on people-food. They look more than twice thier age, and of course are overweight.
Feeding your pets kitchen scraps and declaring them healthy leads me to believe you’re one of the less knowledgable and
observant people that frequent this site.
Get over yourself. Before you say that the pet food industry is one big con-job, do a little research, yourself.
I bet ‘before the war’ you didn’t spay or neuter, either.
So- give a little thought to what you’re on about, next time.

I have 6 dogs and don’t leave any scraps of food to waste!
If they relied on the food my wife and I didn’t eat then they’d have starved to death long ago!
My dogs eat Tesco’s Finest brand, quite good value for money in my opinion!
