My dog hates every brand of dog food that I buy but loves dad's smoked meats. I wondering if I should try smoking some dog food. What do ya think?
-
A lot depends on what you mean by smoking some dog food. :)
If you mean, take the dog food you have, and put it in the smoker - that might work - better if it's canned, probably not so much if it's dry.
If you mean ... smoke up some meat and make your own? That's probably the better solution. There's a lot of DIY dog food recipes out there on the 'net, I bet you can find one that your dog would love.
Of course, it would mean that you'd need to smoke something on a regular basis ... (yeah, yeah, twist my arm!)
Let us know what you try!

The pup might need his own smoker, not sure what dog food smoked might leave behind as remains:)

Dave, I believe I have "officially" heard it all, now. ;) ;D ;D ;D
-
Officially best thing I've read all day. :)

Ok this is the second time I have read this post and really was not going to comment. But, Dave I think a #1 is in order for smoking the dog food. And really why not, as they are a mans best friend. But, if me would keep his/her food out of the #4. Also would go with his favorite canned food. Unless you want to go from scratch and make your own. Just use a base meat that is good for him/her and you might add some vegies. Good luck.

Dave! LOL!!! You crack me up! ;D ;D ;D

Can't blame the dog , he knows what food tastes better.
I had a co worker that never cooked but always ate out, seven days a week. They would roast a turkey once a week and that is what the dog ate. They even bought a dishwaher just to wash the dogs bowls. Boy how we pamper our pets.

When you see a TV commercial for smoked dog food, know that you saw it here first. LOL!

Ha!! We'll say "We knew him back when....!" ;D

Set out a dish of "his food" then quit giving him "Dads smoked meat" when he is hungry he will eat his food.

But will he like it? ;)

He sure will Dave especially if you warm it up in his very own #1. ???

Fortunately my little Cairn Terrier will eat anything that does not eat him first. His breed is only supposed to be up to 14-15 pounds and he only 3 years old and was 17.5 at his vet appointment yesterday. I only feed him 1 cup a day, but I think my kids tend to sneak him extra.
I don't know that I would smoke any store bought dog food in my good smoker. But like Bill said, if you make a DIY dog food out of natural ingredients maybe. There is just something about this that I don't think I would do. ;) It is kind of like cooking a meal with water from the bathtub. It really shouldn't be an issue because the water comes from the same place. But, just the thought of it makes me go ugh! 8)

Sounds like my method, Brian! ;) Funny how that works! lol. Although, my meathead does get treated to the tasty rib and pork butt bones!

My problem is that I like my dog better than most people and I feed people really good food.

I've had Labs for the last 15 years until my last one passed last year. Now we have a spoiled German Shorthair that we rescued. Her name is Kona.

Yep, Kona needs a #1!
-
Kona's definitely not "spoiled," is she? ;) 8)
-
They are a good intelligent breed, and am glad you rescued her and gave her a loving home.

No spoiled, just happy to be in a loving home. My lab gets a small piece of everything i make, even though he is on a high protein, no gluten, no grain diet.
