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.

    Oddly enough, besides meat, my dogs favorite food is kibble. Dry kibble. It took me years to train him to wait for his food… Hes much better now but he still swallows everything whole. And he loves it so much my husband uses his normal food as treats while I still try to get him that higher level rewards (I.e. cheese, nicer treats, etc).

    Also, he doesn’t like wet or “fresh” dog food 🤷‍♀️

    I do concur with everyone on this thread though that our dogs taste buds are significantly different than ours. Ive tried a few and it doesn’t matter what I like. Dogs are different

      Try a dog treat that tastes like it was soaked in diesel fuel and dried out. That’s what I mean by the chemical taste.

      Honestly I wonder if those treats were possibly poisoned…

      There’s a plethora of other animal foods, he’s not gonna starve. He’s also not gonna eat anything that I can’t stand the taste of either.
