Looking past the recent vegan drama, have you ever wondered why your pet might not like particular foods? Have you ever actually tasted the food yourself?

I have, and some taste more like a chemistry lab than actual nutrition.

    Yep. I’ve tasted kibbles and baked treats / cookies. They’re generally not great, but the ones that taste ok are also my dogs favorites. Usually just like a sugar free human snack.

    I do a lot of dried sardines as snacks and a couple Chinese coworkers tried them, they said they taste just like their version but without the salt and spices.

    I feed my pets raw, so haven’t tried those. They seem to love it though.

      Cool cool 👍

      Someone donated some dog biscuit treats for our recently adopted dog Brownie, but he wouldn’t eat them. I tried a bite, but it didn’t taste anything like nutrition, it just seriously tasted like a chemistry lab… ☹️

      He likes soft Chicken Gravy Train though.

        Have you ever tried your pet’s food?

        Have you ever tried your son’s chemistry lab?

          I was the son, and yes I tasted half the chemicals. Lucky I’m still alive.
