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.

Interesting. At the end of the day though, what matters is what's healthy for your pet and what they like best.

I never suggested that humans and pets have the same taste buds and appetites, but when your dog refuses to eat a dog treat, and you taste it yourself and it also tastes like chemical garbage, then it only stands to reason that those particular dog treats are trash.

I didn't realize you were trying to present some sort of argument here, I was just sharing a fun story that answered the post title.

All food tastes like chemicals. Taste is a function of chemical receptors on your tongue. Btw you are made entirely of chemicals, but many people have already told you this today.

I don't know the exact brand of dog treats, but they tasted like they were soaked in diesel fuel and dried out. That's what I mean when I say they tasted like chemicals.

Whatever brand they were, they were colored red and green. I don't even think ants would eat those things.
