Before proper dog food was invented, dogs were mostly fed lard, hardtack, potatoes and cabbage. Some lucky dogs straying or domesticated in port cities could get some leftover horse meat. But a dog’s diet wasn’t as balanced and well thought of back then.
Before being domesticated, dogs (or rather ancient wolves) fended for themselves – they were predatory carnivores and would hunt in packs and eat their kill. They would get all of their calories from the kill, which would have been very rich in protein and fat, which is the perfect combination for a dog who needs to be strong and be able to keep wa...
Scientists can’t agree on when exactly dogs became officially domesticated as the process of wolves turning into dogs would have been gradual over thousands of years of breeding and adapting to their new lives. However, in terms of diets, the early domesticated wolf would have been unable to digest anything but animals properly. The likelihood is t...
According to NPR, humans began to farm basic crops such as peas, lentils and barley 12,000 years ago with records showing it happened in the Iran/Iraq area. During this time the role of the dog started to change significantly to resemble the kind of working dogs we have today. However, at this time dogs would have still been very large and powerful...
According to How Stuff Works, humans began harvesting and domesticating livestock 9,000 years ago. This meant that humans had easier access to meat and other animal byproducts such as their wool and hides. It would not be beyond the realms of imagination that their faithful companion dogs (who would have domesticated for quite some time at this poi...
Looking at the same study by Erik Axelsson, Science Magstate that 7,000 years ago dogs started to eat so much wheat and millet that their bodies were forced to create more starch digesting genes to cope. This is clearly because the farming skill of dog owning humans reached such a level that there were an abundance of crops, more than enough to fee...
Around 37 BC we have a quote from an Ancient Roman poet Virgilwho said “nec tibi cura canum fuerit postrema; sed una veloces spartae catulos, acremque molossum, pasce sero pingui:” which translates to “Do not let the care of dogs be last; but the swift Spartan hounds, and fierce Mastiff, Feed the whey”. From this quote we can deduce that humans car...
In 70 AD, a prominent Roman agriculture writer called Columella pretty much confirms everything JugDog theorised up until this point but in his work On Agriculturewith one addition – if you can’t give your dog barley (confirms our suspicions that dogs still eat crops) and whey then try to give them bread mixed with the ‘liquid from cooked beans’. T...
Towards the end of the middle ages it became more and more obvious from various pieces of literature that dogs were becoming more and more like pets and not just companions guarding the home, the farm and during a hunt according to Dr Kathleen Walker-Meikleauthor of ‘Medieval pets’. This changing dynamic and the constant progress of farming and und...
In an entry to a French dictionary called ‘Nouveau dictionnaire universel des arts et des sciencies’, the author mentions that dogs can be fed a pate which contains a mixture of bread crumbs and little pieces of meat given to pets and presented as a moist paste. In another French scientific journal called ‘Encyclopédie ou dictionnaire raisonné des ...
Mar 29, 2019 · Steven Rinella, who has cooked and eaten coyote, understands how meat eaters like Lewis and Clark would have trepidation with dining on wolves or dogs. “We humans have complex relationships with canines—almost too complex for words,” Rinella said. “To put a piece of their flesh in our mouths is no light matter.”.

Jul 22, 2022 · In past small-scale societies, facilities to restrain the movements of dogs were probably limited, suggesting that most dogs may have been free ranging, as are ~75% of the world’s dogs today .
