Flatulent gifts human and dog based
I think I read someplace that Dry Dog food was invented during World War II as a result of food scarcity because of the war. Up to the war dogs ate what their owners ate in the form of scraps.
From a dogs view culinary delight must have diminished significantly, if the dogs had a union I am sure they would have unraveled the Dry food idea after the war.
Feeding a dog what you had leftover made it simple to know if what you fed him was good stuff.
Dehydrating a whole bunch of stuff so it can have a 18 month shelf life and still taste good and be good for you is another thing I think.
Sure is simple though to just go to the dog food bin in measure out the right amout though.
As soon as my wife gets forgetful enough I am planning on putting her on the same dry food diet

Flatulent gifts human and dog based
I guess it has been around even longer than I thought. Here is the article I read that says WWII accelerated the use of not invent it.
Byproducts of WWII: Dry Pet Food and Processed Human Food
During World War II (1939 to 1945), not only was metal rationed, but pet food was categorized as "non-essential" by the U.S. government. The combination spelled death for the canned pet food industry. In addition, food rationing led to fewer table scraps. Pet owners who could afford to bought dry pet food or dog biscuits – the only commercially available products at the time.
Unfortunately, the American pet owner's love of dry pet food has endured well past the end of World War II. The war also sparked the processed food revolution in the U.S. Spam and similar products were developed in the 1930s to feed the troops abroad and to help with food rationing restrictions at home. All the factors that made processed food attractive to humans ultimately had a significant impact on the pet food industry as well.
The period after the end of WWII was a time of enormous economic growth and expansion in the U.S. Jobs were plentiful and more Americans were able to buy their own homes. As more families moved out of cities to suburbia, giant supermarkets replaced small grocery stores. Consumer demand for processed foods, for fast food – for food in general – kept pace with increases in educational and employment opportunities, individual wealth, and ever-expanding lifestyle options.
In responding to the tremendous increase in U.S. consumer appetites, the human food industry created vast quantities of agricultural scraps from slaughterhouses, grain mills, and processing plants. Pet food manufacturers immediately understood the unlimited opportunity of human food waste to their industry.
