Feeding human pets is a delicate matter. Firstly, the idea is to deny the individual any genuine pleasure from the food and maintain a healthy and balanced nutritional intake.

 

Safe Alternatives

It should be noted that real pet food is generally not suitable for humans and lacks many of the nutritional values essential for human health. There can also be many components, such as bone meal and animal byproducts, which are not digestible by humans, and what is worse, they could make the person violently ill. So designing food that supports humans while perfecting the “pet” simulation is important.

 

Fruits and Vegetables

Although considerably less of a concern than serving raw meat, fruits and vegetables also pose an interesting quandary. The flavourful and sweet fruits, particularly in a homemade fruit salad, make a great reward for those particularly attentive pets. If offsetting is desired, this can be achieved by adding bitter herbs, lemon or lime juice, raw or boiled ginger, and shifting the taste to a more sour basis.

 

Nutritional Balance

The most important thing to consider when making homemade meals for your human pet is to provide rounded nutrition. Without a decent balance of protein, vitamins, minerals and fatty acids, your human pet could suffer from malnutrition, regardless of how much food they consume.  Pick one item from each group below to include at every meal. If you are kind-hearted, rotate your choices, so your human pet doesn't become bored eating the same food. Alternatively, if this is really a form of deprivation, sticking to a single diet for more than a week can be the ultimate in annoying punishments. The following list offers some food choices to cover your human pet's basic nutritional needs:

• Protein: Fresh chicken, beef, turkey, lamb or cooked salmon

• Fibre, vitamins and minerals: Carrots, green beans, spinach

• Essential fatty acids: Leafy greens, cooked salmon, flax seeds

• Calcium: Cottage cheese, plain yogurt

• Carbohydrates: Brown rice, barley

• Vitamins and antioxidants: Apples (without the seeds), blueberries

 

Some suggestions for the various types of human-pet alternatives are:

 

Wet Food

There are numerous options for animal-based foods that serve as suitable substitutes. The most basic importance is that the food must be able to sustain a person. The alternative to canned foods is to prepare one of the following dishes:

• Simple beef stew, featuring small portions of beef in a thick gravy, accompanied by ample potatoes, corn, peas, carrots, and turnips cut into small squares (1.5cm or ½ inch).

•  Ground beef and pork cooked with frozen mixed vegetables, topped with beef stock.

• Overcooked white fish, shredded and served with rice porridge and spicy peppers,

• Stewing chicken cooked with rice and lentils.

 

Each of these dishes will result in the consistency of canned pet food while being human-editable. The lack of spice (except for the fish) will make it as unappealing as possible. Serving in a steel dog dish from the floor will complete the simulation, ensuring maximum possible sanitation. Additionally, steel dishes are dishwasher-safe and can be easily sterilized.

 

Treats

Treats are rewards for good service, and when a master wishes to show affection tangibly towards their pet. So the potential alternative to pet treats are:

• Animal crackers

• Crackers

• Cookies such as Nilla Wafers

• Gram cracker

 

The one pet treat that is human-grade and safe for humans to eat is the "Milk-Bone" brand biscuits. Swedish fish, which is readily available from Ikea, make good human-kitten and real kitten/puppy treats. Any Dog Owner doing pet training should keep a small bag with them and use it when training their pet (human or four-legged).

 

Dry Food (“kibble”)

Kibble is one of the hardest items to simulate.  Potentially, items like hickory potato sticks broken into small crumbs or so of the Indian dried treats all make for possible substitutes. However, if looking for something to mix with milk, the basic cereals that resemble kibbles will work.

• Puffed Wheat or Rice

• Kix

• Capt’n Crunch

• anything ending in “Puffs.” 

 

There is a wide selection of options available. Hence, there should NEVER be any reason to feed your human pet ACTUAL pet food! That the fine lines between BDSM and abuse that uneducated and ignorant “Doms often cross.”.
