This Pet Food Company Just Made a Holiday Scratch-and-Sniff Book for Your Dog

On Monday, The Honest Kitchen and Red Tettemer O'Connell + Partners launched Is That My Dinner?, an illustrated book about a puppy looking for a meal.

The Honest Kitchen differentiates itself from "feed grade" competitors—whose products may include meat from diseased or dying animals and other dubious parts—by billing its pet food as "human grade," meaning the ingredients are good enough for humans to eat.

The Is That My Dinner? website indicates where customers can pick up a free copy of its book, along with samples of the brand's products (a good thing, given that poor Fido is likely to be confused—and a little put out—at being gifted with paper that smells like snacks). 

Illustrator Annie Davidson helped create the book. The scratch-and-sniff scents include seasonal classics like pumpkin and peppermint. No word, though, on whether they incude any of the smells dogs really love … like roadkill, or Stilton blue cheese.
