Dog food's okay, but cat food is better. Cats are obligate carnivores, so 
cat foods have more protein and a more satisfying meaty taste. They also 
come in a smaller kibble, so they'd be easier to cram in a pack. I 
recommend Iams (Regular, not the Less Active), sold only in pet stores 
(don't buy supermarket brands, they're filled with junk). 

You know, I never thought about taking pet food out on the trail before, 
but it actually sounds like a really good idea. Mmmmmmm, I can taste it 
now, and no cooking!  

;)
