Really want to know?
It was a guy by the name of James Spratt. He was from Ohio - and visiting London around 1860 selling lightening rods and saw a business opportunity after observing stray dogs scavenging stale biscuits discarded from ships. Great basis, huh?

That's not actually kibble, of course. Just biscuits for dogs based on the leftovers from human food production and used to supplement normal diets. Actual commercial production of what we now know as kibble didn't start until the late 1950s when Purina got into the game.

LOL - so next time someone tries to tell you how much domestication and the "hundred or thousands of years of commercial diets" have changed dogs - well, remember that it's actually only 49 years That's not even the blink of an eye in evolutionary terms.

And before that there was the Count Dogular years where thousands upon thousands of human beings across the world were savaged & mauled to death because dogs that ate raw became blood thirsty creatures that terrorised the streets (more than the hoodies we have today).

Mwhuhuhhh!!!
