Question
Is it safe to eat dog biscuits? My teacher ate one...
Hi AJ,
While it may not sound appetizing, dog and cat food is edible by humans. In fact, you can make your own dog biscuits with ingredients in your own kitchen.
If you read the label of hard dog biscuits you'll see they contain flour, fat, salt, yeast, etc -- the same ingredients used to make human cookies.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions, please let me know.
