"Desperate Housewives" actress Nicollette Sheridan and "Exorcist" head-turner Linda Blair were supposed to eat dog food during an event promoting "Dine With Your Dog Day." "This is not 'Fear Factor,'" Sheridan said Thursday, balking at the idea of downing dog food.
Blair also declined, explaining she's a vegetarian. But "Little House on the Prairie" actress Melissa Gilbert and Ross the Intern from "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" were game and scooped up helpings of doggie morsels.
Actor James Farantino was also on hand for the midday kickoff celebration — dubbed the "doggy social event of the season."
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and governors of New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Nebraska and West Virginia proclaimed Oct. 21 as "Dine With Your Dog Day." But the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza decided to un-leash the party two days early.
Acid-tongued fashion critic Mr. Blackwell was on hand to applaud the best-dressed bowsers and a pet psychic read paws.
Former "Eight is Enough" TV patriarch Dick Van Patten, whose Natural Balance dog food company was behind the event, said he wanted to show dog lovers how delicious pet chow can be.
It celebrates the bond between man and dog by encouraging pet owners to share a meal with their dog, Van Patten said.
On Saturday, pet stores nationwide will be hosting special events to honor dogs big and small. Some sales proceeds from participating brands, including Natural Choice, will be going to animal shelters, Van Patten said.
"We hope to raise a lot of money for local animal shelters to continue their important efforts to give humane treatment to man's best friend," Van Patten said in a statement.

I could prolly try a doggie biscuit if it's supposed to be yummy...but never the wet or canned food.

[bite me spidey]

I don't feel like reading—why the hell is she suppose to be eating dog-food?

[mtlebay]

Isn't there apparently some dog meat in dog food (e.g. the euthanized ones, etc...?) to use as fillers?

[Sojiita]

[aabbcc]

Uh ... okay. I just give my dog the leftovers from dinner.

[Chilly Willy]

Of course she refused to eat it! WTF? The headline should say "Idiots eat dog food, but smart Nocolette Sheridan refused to do so." Especially since she's a vegetarian!

[AgentOrange]

oh it's no worse than Spam.

[Reptillycus]

Hey, fried Spam might be a little bit better than fried dog food, but I don't want to find out...

Not this brand, it's organic and one of the best, my doggies love it.
The stuff that is lethal to dogs is usually found in the supermarket, or is the food that is owned by pharmacuetical companies and has the animal fillers like corn and ceral and sugar, and also usually saying "lamb byproducts"or something similar, which means they've used virtually everything. I can't remember the labelling on these foods because I no longer use them but it's the way they are worded, that you have to look closely at.

I think this story is a pile of horsesh!t, designed to make Nicolette
look like a girl who won't let herself be pushed around -- a woman
of willpower....

...who would never stoop to plastic surgery to keep working.

Dog meat in dog food? Ewww, I've never heard of that.

What about cat food?
