FEEDING THE DOG 



r-

• This equipment for holding food and water pans or dishes keeps them off the 

 ground or floor, out of the dust, and prevents "shoving." 



It is only chicken bones, not chicken 

 meat, which should not be fed to dogs. 



The rule to feed dogs in quantity ac- 

 cording to their weight, is unreliable ; 

 various factors such as age, exercise, 

 health and the like must be considered. 



A pinch of salt should be thrown into 

 the regular food of the dog, about every 

 other day — a simple thing yet most dog 

 owners woefully neglect to add this neces- 

 sary item. 



Worthy of Your Dog? 



The dog has come to us from the wilds. 

 He is the one species out of the more than 

 one hundred thousand of the animal king- 

 dom which without whip or harness, with- 

 out compulsion or fear, has come gladly 

 to man to live by his side and be his 

 servant. 



In return for this complete loyalty, de- 

 votion, unselfishness and love, every dog 

 is entitled to receive the best care and 

 feeding. To own a dog is an obligation ; 

 the dog owner should be worthy of his 

 dog. He who does not assume gladly the 

 loving task of feeding, grooming and car- 

 ing for his dog and keeping his dog 

 from running at large, is not worthy of 

 owning 9 -dog. . 



Feed 'your dog properly ; feed wholesome 

 food ; have a care for him ; and he will 

 show you your reward in his clear eye, 

 wagging tail, joyous bark and a loyalty 

 that ends only with death.

WARTIME ADDENDA 



As we send this 5th edition to press, 

 our government has re-established ration 

 points on most meat products. But heart, 

 liver, kidneys, tripe, brains, sweetbreads, 

 ox tails, meat trimmings, etc. (also horse 

 meat, fish, wild game) remain free. 



Dry dog food is as abundant as previ- 

 ously. Dog owners are buying it gener- 

 ously for the government report of 1943 

 sales of this product gave a total figure 

 of 906,000,000 lbs., which at an average 

 retail price of 12c lb., represents an out- 

 lay of $108,720,000 (1941 canned dog food 

 sales totaled approximately $70,000,000, 

 based on 10c per pound can). 



The dog owner need not worry greatly 

 over wartime rationing. Stews offer a 

 way out. Table scraps, meat trimmings, 

 vegetables, available meat and gland 

 products as mentioned, even chicken heads 

 and feet, turnip tops, and so on as the 

 ingenuity of the housewife invents — all can 

 be put into the omnibus pot for a 

 nutritious stew. 



And if this be added to dry biscuit food, 

 our dogs can thrive under the severe con- 

 ditions of wartime food rationing without 

 lessening the human food supply by a 

 single pound. — W. J.
