Dog Information

dog food ?? ok im just doing some research on dog food. I found one that my dog loves, however it's going to be about $70.00 a month. (royal canin for boxers) then i found one at the grocery store and it seems to have VERY simular ingredients except for that the first ingregient was Chicken in the grocery store brand and chicken wasnt even found till the 8th ingredient on the expesive brand. My real q is....what is "meal" like it'll say chicken meal, fish meal. However the grocery store brand states CHICKEN for the first ingredient which to me is good. I also compared the crude %'s and they're very simular only off by a few. Im prety sure rice is good for a dogs diet correct? and corn meal not so good? Because a lot of dog foods do have a lot of corn meal in the foods. The brand that i found at the grocery store is PC Nutrition 1st...this may only be in canada. sorry everyone i posted this under the wrong heading by mistake and i dont know how to change it

How do Cats and Dogs know which is cat food and which is dog food? I have 2 cats and three dogs. One night, I ran out of cat food (the dry type) and my cats were hungry. So since I had dog food only and the shops were closed, I gave them dog kibbles. They're more or less of the same shape and size and are made of the same ingredients - chicken. My cats took a nibble and refused the rest of the bowl, preferring to go hungry than eat dog food. The next day, i got them a fresh pack of made-for-cats kibbles and they immediately dived in and ate up. How come my cats knew what I gave them wasn't cat food? I also know of dogs that won't eat cat food for the long run (not mine though, cos they're pigs and will eat anything). It would be good if a pet food manufacturer can answer this question. Is there some special ingredient you put in cat and dog food that makes cats and dogs know which kibbles is who's? Also, nowadays, dogs are eating fish too - like salmon. You can't say it's the ingredient. How come they know the difference?

Why does my dog refuse to eat canned or dry dog food? I have a 1 year old beagle who doesnt like to eat its own dog food. The type of food I buy is Pedigree soft food. She did eat this type of food before now justs resists eating it. I've tried switching her to dry food and she ate it for awhile then she resisted it also. I dont know if its because we are feeding her our table food and thats what shes getting accustomed to, or there is something wrong with the type of food we are buying. Any thoughts and answers?
