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.

“natural” doesn’t mean “good”. Arsenic is natural. Oleander is natural. Hemlock is natural.
I think you understood exactly what I meant. It’s natural for certain pets to eat insects. I never mentioned anything about poisons.
I did understand what you said. “You don’t need to taste that, it’s natural, and natural things don’t contain chemicals”. Everything contains chemicals, and whether those chemicals are natural or artificial has no bearing on whether or not they’re harmful. You’re spreading hippie-dippy misinformation. Knock that shit off.
Well, guess what? He refuses the chemical infused dog treats, but he loves ham and hot dogs, and also Gravy Train Chicken Flavor, ground up version, not chunky.
I think we can both agree that’s nutrition, and also the dog is basically saying without words that the dog biscuit treats taste like absolute shit.
Our adopted dog definitely ain’t starving, we’re just tuning into what he does and doesn’t have more of an appetite for.
No “chemicals” in hot dogs, nosiree lmao
Obviously everything is made of chemicals, you don’t have to keep thumping that book. I think you understand everything I’m getting at and are just trolling now.
Look, if I give my dog something that’s supposed to be a dog treat, and he refuses to eat it, then I get curious and try a little nibble myself. When I taste it and it tastes like pure chemical shit, then I’m like no wonder he won’t eat that, guess I ain’t going for that brand again.
It’s like almost half the comments here are like ‘aNImAls tAStE dIfFerEnt tHaN pEopLE’. Yep, no kidding. But if the animal won’t eat what’s supposed to be a treat, then maybe it’s the humans that manufactured the food that ain’t got a clue.
If the pet ain’t eating what’s supposed to be pet food, maybe just maybe the pet is trying to tell you the shit tastes horrible.
Literally everything you taste or smell is a chemical. Taste and smell are just biological chemical detection systems.
Preference for taste varies by individual. Every family has that one weirdo who likes black jellybeans. I don’t understand it, and those people are actually members of my own species. You’re taking a sample size of one hominid and one canid and saying that since you agree, this taste is objectively bad. Do you honestly think the manufacturer invested in marketing this product without ever giving it to a dog? Is it possible that there are things your dog likes that you wouldn’t like, and vice versa? It just seems like you’re leaping to a lot of conclusions here, like you started out with a conclusion and are trying to prove it. That is not good science.
It’s not exactly a ‘science’ to figure out when your pet refuses to eat a particular food. It just makes me curious, like what is he actually experiencing when he tastes the foods he don’t like.
There are a plethora of other pet foods out there, I’m not gonna force him to eat anything he don’t like. If he doesn’t like a particular food, and I think it tastes horrible as well, then maybe just maybe the dog has a point, certain foods taste terrible.
