An olden-day cold cereal that resembled dog food...

I was reading this other thread on cereals by dbcurrie and I don't know how to find that thread... So I will just ask if anyone remembers a cereal that was light brown, small puffs but not balls... it was like little dry dog food pieces but it was yummy! I would have been 7 years old when I had it... The year was 1983. I believe my parents would have found it in health food stores, as we only either ordered it from health food distributors (we had a small health food store so we made orders every couple of weeks or every month) or bought it from a health food store once in a great while.

Other cereals I grew up on are puffed corn, rice, millet, and wheat, as well as Oatios and Ruskets. The cereal I am trying to remember, as well as hoping to find something similar, was not very sweet. You would have been able to eat it without adding sugar but my family would have added honey if we wanted anything with it. I often chose to skip the honey and eat it as is. It was crunchy and it floated.

It was NOT Kix, pops, or puffs. Not as light as anything such as puffed cereals. And it was not rice crispies.

My sisters and I called it dog food. I wonder if it was just something like a seven-grain cold cereal and maybe it was made by Arrowhead Mills but called seven grain.

Any ideas?
