dog food

Puppy chow variety

Food formulated for dogs, typically sold as dry kibble or canned wet food.

In tech slang, to eat your own dog food (or dogfood) means to use your company's product internally before releasing it—testing it on yourself first.

The practice supposedly builds confidence and catches problems early.
