Big reason to make food for your dog is you control what goes into the food. Remember the big wheat gluten scare a few years ago. Millions of dog owners became afraid to feed their own dogs because it wasn't clear which dog food brands were safe. It wasn't even clear that any mass-marketed brands of food were safe. That safety scare has led to better quality controls on commercial dog food, but you still cannot be certain of exactly what is in your dog's food, and in many cases, you cannot even be certain of where that food was manufactured. The food scare exposed a major weakness in mass-market dog food manufacturing – re-labeling. I, personally, did not know before the health scare that most discount dog food brands are manufactured by a small handful of companies. These companies often manufacture as much food as possible with only minimal safety precautions. As a result of this, the health and safety of store-purchased dog food, even higher end gourmet dog food, cannot be 100% guaranteed.

Many dogs don't like veggies that much, so it may take some trial and error to find what veggies your dog will eat and what he will not.

Try very small portions at first, mixed with the meat that your dog already likes. Pay attention to what he eats and what he leaves behind. Anything left behind is likely not liked by the dog, so don't include that ingredient in the future. Once you have found a combination that your dog likes, stick with

According to the article, cats will not eat food off the floor. A cat will paw and sniff at the food on the floor before rejecting it (Viegas). Dr. Allan Paul states, cats have higher protein needs than dogs do. He also states, cats use protein for an energy source. Cat food contains more than 30 percent of protein. They need extra protein to satisfy their requirements for energy. Vitamin A is a key ingredient for a cat to have in their food. Watson says, meat is the only source cats can get their acids. Cats like food that has a texture to it (Viegas). From what I gathered, dogs are very different when it comes to food. Dogs will eat off the floor and right out of your hand. Dr. Allan Paul says dog food contains 20 to 25 percent of protein. Dogs can get their acids two ways. They can get their source through meats and vegetable oil. Watson states, dogs can convert beta-carotene for their vitamin A
1) After watching an episode of The Office that had one of the characters use a distant form of classical conditioning with his coworker, I decided to try it myself. I had used my mouse to try this type of automatic conditioning. The unconditioned stimulus I used was a treat and the unconditioned response was salivating and eventually coming towards me.

There are many debates around the world about the topic of animal abuse. Animal abuse in the food industry has become a major problem due to the cruel treatment of animals. Most of the world's population might think that animal cruelty is only found in homes and on the street, but they forget about the other forms of animal abuse that affect the food industry. Large contributors to animal abuse are due to fishing methods, animal testing, and slaughterhouses. "Animals have always been a major part of our society in history and they have played huge roles in agriculture" (ASPCA).
