In a pinch I've made human food like pancakes. Put butter on them and everybody wants them, dogs cats & humans. My cats like dog food or, as someone else said, I can cook up some chicken or something. I usually have a can or two of tuna. But I can walk to a 7/11 if the truck doesn't work. Takes awhile, but eases my conscience and I don't get "the look" while I'm walking to the store. Once when the dogs were out of food I cooked up a big batch of oatmeal and added a can of chicken gravy don't go "ewwwwww" the dogs thought it was GREAT
