For actor Dick Van Patten, who played the patriarch on the 1980s television show Eight is Enough, some dog food is good enough to eat.
Van Patten is lending his name and likeness to a new dog food formula that claims to be indistinguishable from a home-cooked meal for humans.
To prove his point, Van Patten recently sampled the "Irish stew" recipe at a media luncheon.
"Not too bad," the actor said before offering a bite to his canine dining companion.
"Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance Eatables for Dogs" comes in other people-friendly flavors such as spaghetti and meatballs, hobo chili and Chinese takeout.
It's designed with the health of pets in mind and marketed to humans as an alternative to feeding their pets table scraps, Natural Balance president Joey Herrick said.
The food will sell for $2.49 a can beginning on December 15.
