Will I die if I eat dog food for a month?

Ask: I'm 34 and athletic and this month I decided to have meals with my dogs and eat what they eat so I bought extra. Bones even. Nothing like animal food. Dogs eat what we eat and we rock out. I wonder what my body will look like on a can food dog diet.

Answer:
Anonymous: A month is a long time, why not try it for a week instead? and increase if you get good results and enjoy it?

You may get sick, im pretty sure there is a difference between human grade and pet grade food. Animals still have working appendices I believe.

Not only that but humans need a varied diet to be healthy, just eating meat is not a good option unless in a survival situation, ever heard of rabbit starvation?
Some dog foods have added vitamins and minerals but dogs don't need the same things as a human does and vice versa.

You'll most likely get a lot of headaches and feel sick and lose a lot of weight.

Oh I just re-read, you are eating bones? Well bone broth is good for you. as long as you are eating meat and vegetables, fruit also you should be okay :)
Feeding dogs raw diets or BARF diet they should be getting small amount of veg, herbs etc so yes to eat like a dog for a month is not great but ok, a lot of tribes eat similar diet when its winter and they have no fruit or veg or very little.


Trinity: It's OK to admit you're poor and don't have money for regular food. I know people that lived off the cheapest cat food from Walmart. Don't be ashamed. 

Aki: No you will not die of animles dont doe then humans wont. Pet foods qre actually more healthier food then what humans decide to consume but it isnt tasty 

Jojo: No-one really cares....so if that`s what floats your boat then go ahead.
I doubt you will die, but you may have the "runs" for a while, and need to stick close to a loo at all times.
