Doggy in the cloud - your online wanko

and pitifully both of the two dogs suffered cataract and nutritional encephalomalacia.

The old J-folks even stretch this junk with rice to save another penny. Dogs are also scavengers and their digestive system can tolerate quite a bit of junk. But if it goes out of hand, it gets pretty expensive pretty quickly.

In my opinion, a yen saved on shitty food is 2 to 3 yen spent on vet bills, not worth the trouble.

Probably for the best, worms are the last thing you want to deal with.

Back in the old world, I am was used to give my pets a dewormer once or twice a year as a regular routine, usually just picked it up at vaccination time.

Living on a street seemingly popular with the local pooch-walking fraternity, I've got into a blimpish get-off-my-lawn habit of visually checking pooch-walkers for the presence of pooch poop-pee disappearence paraphenalia, which is mercifully usually present, and fortunately the pooch poop diary I was keeping when we first moved in is no longer necessary. Don't these animals do their business in bentonite-filled trays like proper pets?

Talking of which, the moggy we (me and the ex, insert Wagyl-baiting comment here) imported one from Old Europe, not a picky eater he rejected out of hand pretty much all the local food varieties ("fish? yuk!") and lived out the remainder of his days on boiled chicken with occasional rounds of some marginally acceptable kibble stuff).

Legion - I think many of the expensive brands of canned stuff are only expensive in regards to advertising, packing and artificial flavoring/coloring so not surprising your dog didn't like it. I've heard several people say the exact same thing. Dry foods are one thing but the canned stuff ends up like a grey mass of mystery meat purin and no idea what goes into it. It's like fast food chicken nuggets....that are more fish, bone and fat than actual chicken.

the white bag in the foreground at 4:12 seems to be moving?!?!

If that was going on in California only 8 years ago (Vernon is a dump), I can only imagine the shit that goes into the crap that China was selling to manufacturers as protein paste and other shit.

Which is even more insane since most of the dogfood is moving towards grain free because the can't digest it and causes health problems.

My pup's poop is like clockwork, right at feeding time. She never poops outside but I still bring a sing poop back just in case. (the roll/dispenser just isn't necessary) no bentonite but basically flat diaper sheets they do their business on nowadays.

... or just 6 mm off of, from what I have seen of most of these.

Pets.

I love being able to hand them back to their owners. I don't want to be tied down to raising the equivalent of a four-year old for 15 years.

Funny, how people from different cultures do things in different ways. I got my current pups at six weeks old and started out with these sheets. By the age of three months I had them what I call "house broken", meaning that they only went outside, never inside the house and from thereon I never needed the sheets any more. But then, I have to carry poopie bags, wherever I take them. Can be a bit messy, when they suffer from "geri"

In that case, you only need straws...

Hahaha, I put an XL sheet underneath the main tray to catch anything that falls/trickles off. Works out fine.

You only have to deal with raising us 30+ year olds when it's convenient

I wish I could do that but 3rd story apt and a walk away from the nearest prime pooping grounds makes it not so feasible. The up side is I never have full poopie bag nimotsu to carry....but when in the mountains, she didn't need to be trained to leave her logs outside with the other logs. Glad to have never woken up to that in such a small space.

awww... you saw that movie too...

When I was a kid my parents had a boxer that was always fed tripe, which can be obtained at a very low price in the Netherlands due to nobody eating that shit. Cooking it was always a bit smelly, but you wouldn't believe how much this animal loved it.

Is there anything like that in Japan that can be bought at low price from the butcher? Something like pig legs or chicken legs?

[matsuki]

I think the locals cornered the tripe market...and even got people thinking it gives you some sort of stamina

Am going to try the local butchers and see what they say.

I haven't looked into what those monsters {dogs} we met out in the mountains eat, but knowing their masters it is likely to be expensive and gourmet.

The old J folks would do that - they and other J people spend their entire lives eating shitty, nutrition-less white rice that is just as likely to be behind rising diabetes cases as the 'cora' in the drink machines. Oh yeah and arsenic develops naturally in ricefields, nice one.

While they're at it they should feed the dogs sushi and other kinds of raw seafood - the heavy metals and other toxic waste residue in most of it consumed in Japan can also be handy in extending the growing dementia here to the canine community.
The Japanese are clueless numptys about food realities - remember, the Fukushima food is 'safe' because a bunch of cunts of politicians were videoed pretending to eat it.

[Grumpy Gramps]

I think, unless you have the luxury of growing it yourself and know exactly, what goes in it, the yuck-factor of almost any food is nowadays astronomic. We are probably only able to eat anything, as long as we don't know, how it is produced.

The massive margarine sales displays agree with you....even more so when you can't find any real butter.
