National Cook For Your Pets Day

National Cook For Your Pets Day is the least we can give our pets who love us without asking for anything in return. Agree that for our four-legged friends we buy ordinary food in stores and do not think about what products can improve their mood and health. Use November 1st to please your pet, prepare a special treat for him.

History

Just think, already 16 thousand years ago, people domesticated the dog. It is not surprising that a huge number of works and scientific papers have been written about the rules for the nutrition of pets. A Roman philosopher prepared a guide on how to feed bones and meat to dogs.

In 1860, the first dog biscuit was made by James Spratt, a salesman from Ohio. In 1907, manufacturers took into account the preferences of dogs and made the first bone-shaped biscuits. And in 1920, the first dry dog ​​food was created. Two years later, canned food appeared on sale, it contained horse meat, which at that time was the most accessible ingredient. In 1980, the US National Academy of Sciences formulated the nutritional requirements for pets.
