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.

    Generally I feed my dog either Gravy Train Chicken Flavor, or kitty kibble (he’s a small dog, only like 19 pounds).

    He prefers the soft food, but will eat the hard food if he gets hungry enough.

    He also likes chasing fiddler crabs, but he’s smart enough to not bite them LOL!

    But dog biscuit treats around here taste like nothing but chemicals, and he won’t touch them.

      I used to put my cat’s kibble in a bit of water so it’d get soft (and it’d trick him into staying hydrated, too). It’s great for picky eaters and elderly pets!
