We were further down the foodchain and kept as pets by, say, emus?
When you go in a petshop its like hereâs the dog treats, and its a pigs ear or those weird nearly translucent beige shoes strung together with some suspicious edible string (for the 90s dogs anyway)
If my dog could curate her own treat selection it would mostly be comprised of toilet roll and cuddly toys, so itâs probably a blessing that they canât!
The big pet shop by us has a massive deli section with loads of different flavour sausages along with all the varied dried animal parts, so Iâd hope the human pet shop would have a similarly well appointed deli counter.
I suppose pork scratchings, biltong, jerky and even crisps are basically pet treats for humans arenât they?
Our dog goes crazy for any food thatâs orange: carrots, squashes, pumpkin, sweet potato, all of it, more than she does cheese or anything else more ânormalâ.
To answer the actual question, I reckon theyâd do stuff involving oats and so on, maybe sort of Victorian âtreatsâ or things from those 1960s everything-in-jellies cookboods
