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 ๐Ÿ‘

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.. โ˜น๏ธ

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.
