What’s even more fucked is the alternative of making your own dog food isn’t an option because human food is expensive af too! Want to try to eat healthy? Fuck you
“our costs have gone up amidst am inflationary environment and we have had no choice but to increase prices. Oh hey don’t look at our financial statements, the fact that we made record profits is irrelevant.”
It makes me really sad because my girl passed away last year and my boy is getting bored and wants a friend but I just can’t afford to pay for the food. I’ve been thinking about fostering senior pitbulls instead because I would have a better chance of hanging on to them until they passed away if I fostered seniors. At least the Foster company pays for any medical treatment and food that the dog needs
Those pitbulls would attack you dog. Either dumb or just don’t care. I don’t care if this offends you, for the sake of animal safety you need to hear it.
What’s the recourse? Do we start feeding our dogs homemade dog food instead?
Yea pretty much. As much as I mull over solutions it always comes back to returning to our roots, which happens to be impossible at this point with the current population crisis. I’d imagine redistributing the wealth to alleviate these things would be extremely hard, would probly take a war to get going, or start multiple little wars in the process. It’s really pretty bad. Worse than people like to think. I dont know where we go from here. That’s part of the problem and why we maintain the status quo.
For now you can probly start approximating what is in that food with your scraps, like back in the day. I don’t really know and I hate not knowing shit lol. (Why I’m here)
We have to go full Star Trek and remove profit and personal gain as the motive for doing everything. In the meantime I guess it’s time to start reading up on what a dog’s diet should be.
That would be nice, although remember what started it all in

Oops wrong date! Meant 2053!
<After the war ended in 2053, humanity slowly began to rebuild civilization and the planet, eliminating sickness, hunger, poverty, and despair within two generations. Earth was mostly restored by the 22nd century as the United Earth Government formed, however there were still some lingering effects from the post atomic horror. Star Trek: Enterprise
This is where that paragraph came from (https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Earth) Cool place if you’re into Star Trek
For a second there I thought you were vehemently anti Vulcan!
If I’m into Star Trek… lol
Full stop the best thing I did was talk to a pet nutritionist and getting a meal plan made for my boy. Super affordable, easy to make up in bulk and freeze each week - and honestly it feels good to feed my boy something that resembles actual food. Turkey, carrots/zucchini, rice and vitamin powder - all told about an hour each week to prepare, portion out and freeze; and I’m pretty dang sure it comes out cheaper than the dried stuff in the long run.
Can you share the recipe?
Yeah, and my food (Nutro) not only keeps increasing their price, but lowering the amount. Went from 32lb bag to 28lb
