I make food that I and my dogs can eat. For instance "Puppy Soup".

Puppy Soup is essentially a bland chicken soup:

Usually chicken breast (white meat) but can include dark meat (legs, thighs)
Mixed vegetables (preferably with no salt added) and celery and maybe more carrots.
Water and/or low sodium chicken broth and/or low sodium V8. You don't need much liquid because liquid will be coming out of the chicken itself making the water flavorful.
MMMMMaybe at some poultry seasoning for flavor.

>>>> It's vitally important not to have anything like garlic, chives, or onions or anything like them; anything in the Allium family (such as those) are toxic for dogs. I always check my cans of mixed vegetables for onions but, fortunately, it seems that no cans of mixed veggies have onions.

Throw it all in a crock pot for 3 or 4 hours.
When done, separate the broth from meat and veggies. Store separately.
Put the broth in a fridge overnight.
The next day, the broth will have congealed into a "chicken Jello", a chicken-flavored gelatin. The fat will have risen to the top; skim off the fat.

When giving to dogs, ...

Heat up some of the chicken Jello so it's a warm liquid fat-free broth.
Pour the warm broth over any kibble.
Spoon out some chicken and vegetables over the kibble.
Stir it all up.

Good dog food is rather expensive and still boring to them. It's like going to a restaurant with only one thing on the menu. I do buy good dog food. (My dog food bill is about $500/month for my 7 dogs.) So, when I make Puppy Soup, it helps stretch the dog food and the dogs get something more flavorful with each bite being slightly different from the bite before. They love it!

And, yes, I will have some Puppy Soup myself but add cut-up green onions and some salt or poultry seasoning.

If you look at the ingredients, they'll be various types of meat, grains, and vegetables- not GOOD meat, grains, or vegetables, but entirely human-edible.

That said, you wouldn't want to eat it. I once did an experiment where I cooked my dog up a burger and put it in her dish while I sat at the table eating dog food, and she STILL wanted what I was eating.

I've tried dry cat food because I was curious it wasn't like awful but I could probably live off it if I was on a deserted island. Lol I will never try wet food I would rather die

A woman I used to serve occasionally made me eat dog food from a bowl on the floor for her and her girlfriends' amusement... lol

I've been tempted, but I'm kind of scared. My friend did before. He brought some dog jerkey to school and was trying to get people to eat it and they didn't trust him, so he took a bite himself and almost threw up. It was the funniest thing ever, and me and the other guys were laughing so hard

I ate dry fog food when i was a kid. Every time i fed the dog, i’d take a nugget for myself. The flavor was okay, but i really liked the texture of it.
