Movie stars have special diets, so why shouldn’t dogs? Balto’s latest seven-day menu was introduced in Hollywood with a week of free lunches in April 1934.
Locals brought their four-legged friends to a pop-up shop at 7032 Hollywood Boulevard — owned by 20th Century Fox boss Joseph Schenck — for a proper diet of fresh fish, cooked vegetables, rice, powdered sage, bran, crumbled shredded wheat, and charcoal ovals.
Next door at 7030 Hollywood was the shop of H. M. Robertson, dog breeder and trainer to the stars.
