Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Why pet owners are spending thousands of dollars on 'human-grade' food
Dogs used to be fed kitchen scraps like leftover meat, fish, bones, and
rice. It was not until 1890 that the world saw the first production of dog food
in the USA. Then in the 1950s, food giants like Nabisco, Quaker Oats, and
General Mills began expanding dog food businesses. Now, most dog food is made
with animal feed-grade ingredients and comes dry in gags, known as kibble in
the US, or wet in cans. Nowadays, many pet owners do care about what to feed
their canine family members, often more than for themselves. They tend to buy premium
dog food touted as human-grade, natural, or grain-free. Once the dog likes it,
the pet owner starts subscribing to the food for their beloved friend for the
sake of commitment and convenience. For some pet owners, what is best for
their pet dogs matters more than how much it costs within their
affordable range. Subscription service for premium pet food seems like a good
business.
