About International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day.
Ends: Feb 23, 2023
DESCRIPTION:
We're unable to determine why today is International Dog Biscuit Day, but we suspect it might relate to the day the first patent on dog biscuits was filed in 1860, as there is no correlation to the birth or death of the inventors. Unfortunately, the UK Historical Patent Office only has patents going back to 1890 in their database, so we'll have to leave proving that theory for another year.
Dog Biscuits: a Short History
Romans began feeding dogs scraps from the table, stale bread, and other treats. The term dog biscuit originated during the 16th or 17th century in Europe.
In 1809 Filt Bennett mixed milk, minerals, and meat together to form the first dog biscuit. He did sell them, but nowhere at scale, so Filt Bennett doesn't get the credit for the biscuits we know today.
Credit, instead, goes to James Spratt of Cincinnati, Ohio, who, while in England in 1860, introduced the first commercially produced dog biscuit: Spratt's Patent Meat Fibrine Dog Cakes made of wheat, beetroot, vegetables, and beef blood. Yum?
In 1907 things changed again. Fredrick H. Bennett repackaged the dog biscuits into the shape of a bone, calling them 'Maltoid Milk Bones.' They were a tremendous success, and he went from pauper to millionaire rather quickly simply by reshaping the end product. In 1931, the National Biscuit Company (Nabisco) bought his company.
The rest is history.
