Gravy Train (dog food)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For the music group, see Gravy Train!!!!. For the idiomatic expression, see gravy train.
Gravy Train is an American commercial dog food. Originally developed by Quaker Foods,[1] it is one the first brands of dog food to feature the gimmick that when warm water is added to the dry kibble, a brown gravy forms when mixed with the kibble's powder coating. The gravy supposedly makes the food more palatable for the dog.
The advertising catchphrase is "The Gravy Taste Dogs Can't Wait to Finish."
Although once a brand of General Foods Corporation as part of its Gaines brand,[2] Gravy Train has been a brand of Del Monte Foods Pet Products division since 1995.[1]
[edit] In pop culture
- Gravy Train was parodied in the animated television series Futurama with the product Bachelor Chow.
