It's not like dogs are silicon-based lifeforms. They eat the same stuff humans do. Dog food is generally made of animal organ meat and rice as filler. Organ meat is generally not eaten by people anymore, which is why it's cheap, but animals and humans of previous generations preferred the organ meat because it is more nutritious.

The problem is whether or not the meat has been cooked, IMHO.

Cooked dog food with some salt and maybe spices should be perfectly edible. Delicious too if you do it right.

When I was a kid, I watched Shaggy eating Scooby-cookies (or whatever it's called in English) so I bought a small pack of cookies for dogs and ate the whole package. They tasted like a weird mix of Quaker cookies and jerky.

The only thing that almost killed me was my mom when I told her about that.

We still eat in here that organ meat. Sometimes, it's more expensive than the meat itself.

If eating dog biscuits were harmful my dad would've been dead long ago...

My dad eats dog treats. Will never forget being around age 16, picking out a tiny baby guinea pig in the store with my first girlfriend when he saunters around the corner with a visibly-more-empty-than-it-started gallon jug of dog biscuits under an arm and one in his mouth. My reaction was an internal facepalm, hers was restrained until he disappeared again and was basically "oh god what"

Just now I remembered I had to hang in higher places my cat's dry food. That was to prevent being eaten by mice or my 4 year niece who took them as her favorite snack.
