Eww. I would never allow my child to eat dog food like that. The kids are just not dogs.

sick!  not cute, not funny - just 100% gross.  aside from a dog bowl being absolutely unsanitary, don't these people realize the kind of ingredients that go into your average dog food?  unless it specifically says "human grade" on the bag, it is most assuredly NOT.  meaning that downed animals (animals too sick and diseased to walk themselves to the slaughtering pen), as well as chicken droppings and eggshells (added for extra protien) and sometimes even euthanized pet store animals can make their way into fido's kibble...

i'm not one of those neurotic-overkill-bleach-everything-my-kid-might-possibly-touch kind of moms, but THAT is over the freaking line!

Here's a video of my daughter, posted over a year ago...

Lighten up.

Anyone remember those dogs that died from melamine tainted dogfood a couple years ago...

actually, I read that there's a risk of food-borne illness in pet foods.. health.usnews.com/.../salmonella-outbreak-tied-to-dry-dog-food-continues.html

not smart at all.

Lighten up.  It's just a joke, who knows if there was even any dog food in the dish.  It won't kill them.  People give their kids raisins all the time, which to me is a choking hazard.

My sister used to love it. She would get caught sneeking it out of the bag kept in the shed. She also had an appetite for cat food. I remember her eating it like cereal once. (Probably just to gross me and my friend out.) She is still alive 25 years later.

My mom hated it! My sister did get in trouble. I would never encourage it but, come on, remember how many kids got sick from peanut butter crackers marketed to kids this year. Is anything really safe to eat that you didn't grow on your own?

I agree with Emily, it's completely disgusting because it's SO true about what goes into average dog food. Awful, horrendous stuff I won't even feed my own dog because he is like my child. Seriously, don't let your kids eat dog food!

My vet used to work for a slaughter house.  He said they had four piles for the organ meats.  Restaurants were #1, grocery was number #2, # 3 was food manufacturing such as hot dogs and the crap went into #4, animal food. The stuff with tumors on it, pus, gangrene.  Not fit for human consumption.  He told me what dog food brand to buy that has a good reputation for not using the #4 stuff.  Twyla be sure to tell your sister what she used to eat!

I personally don't feed my DOGS dog food, for the rests that Alice explains.  On the other hand, a few nuggets of dried dog chow certainly didn't do any harm to my husband, who enjoyed it as a favorite snack when he was a child... much to the horror of his mother.

There are times when the little fingers are faster than the adult trying to get the food out of them. My little sister used to like to try to help feeding the dog and it usually went like this....one scoop for the dog, one sample for Geri. This explains alot about my sister but that is a different story.

If your pets' dishes are that unsanitary your pets' health is also in trouble, a pets' dishes should be washed as often as your own.

Choking hazard, yes, some pieces could be that small but hopefully the adult is nearby and discouraging the child from eating Rovers' food.

I would also hope that if the pet is territorial that the owner would make sure the pet is not allowed near the child. There are too many areas and items that a pet can decide belong to them.
