Feed Me, I'm Yours


The New York Times once again confirmed that we are in the right place at the right time, riding the trends of the pet-obsessed nation in which we dwell. For starters, the human grade pet food business is truly over the top.

Consider the examples in the article of a company called Petcurean Pet Nutrition which peddles such gourmet delights as pan-seared duck with brown rice and blueberry compote, roasted turkey with buttternut squash and russet potatoes and salmon with black and white quinoa. It is for dogs of course, but it is all human grade and to prove it, the vendors will let you sample it.

Or Claudia's Canine cuisine, whose cookies taste like ginger snaps and are sold with the tag: "Treat her like the bitch she really is."

According to the New York Times, gourmet pet food dominated the recent Pet Expo in Orlando with most companies pushing the idea of human grade food.

Seems like we are going to fit right in.....
