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.
