Dogs used to eat leftover scraps from their owner’s table before the advent of dog food. One of the first companies to manufacture dog food was Ken-L Ration in the 1900s, which provided canned horse meat for dogs. The Gaines Co. followed with the introduction of canned cat food and meat-meal food for dogs in the 1930s. Since then, dog food has blossomed into a big business -- but thankfully no longer uses horse meat.

During World War II, when food became scarce, the first large-scale commercial production of dog food provided a cost-effective alternative to feeding pets. Nabisco, Quaker Oats, and General Foods entered the pet food market as a way to use byproducts from producing food for people. Canned dog food was the first product offered, and then dry dog food was introduced in 1956.
