Have you ever tasted your pet's food? (lemmy.world)

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 ate a dog treat that I'm 90% sure was just a bone shaped nilla wafer.

I don't doubt you a bit, I tasted one of those when I was a kid. Totally edible. A bit bland to me, but edible.

But that was a different brand apparently. I'm not sure what brand the recent dog biscuit treats was, as they were donated in a Ziploc bag by a friend, but those tasted like chemical hell.

Our friend didn't mean anything wrong, he was just trying to help, but those particular treats ended up tossed in the trash. Honestly I don't think the ants would even eat those things.

Edit: The old ones that actually tasted edible were all tan in color, but these new chemical infused ones were all colored red or green. Something just wasn't right with those.
