Have you ever tasted your pet's food? (self.asklemmy)

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.

I also wouldn't know what my dog thinks of the taste of cat shit, as that's not on his menu. Not sure where that thought came from even, that's not even food.

I'm referring to actual food products for pets. If the pet doesn't like it, there's probably a reason why, and that reason is likely that companies tend to make substandard foods not suitable for human consumption for pets.

lmao nobody feeds their dog cat shit. but they try to eat it anyway because they are dogs and they'll eat a dirty diaper if you don't throw it away out of reach. smh

I had a Jack Russell who was crazy about eating out of the litterbox. Just horrifying, obviously. Maybe it tastes like meat, idk, who knows what it smells like to a dog.
