Ask Lemmy

I haven't eaten their kibble, but I certainly know it can't taste as good as the food I cook for them myself (which is basically a shepherd's pie and I have eaten a bowl of it when I had nothing else to eat for myself). I might have tried cat kibble as a kid but I don't remember what it tasted like.

I've also tried jerky made for dogs and it wasn't half bad. Not quite a slim Jim but it wasn't disgusting.

I've tried FreshPet or whatever the hell it's called; that refrigerated chub of "fresh" dog food some places sell. It's like an inferior version of the stew I make for them.

I used to hitchhike, and one day, got a ride with a trucker hauling blackened animal organs to be turned into pet food (they were blackened as a mark to show they were unfit for human consumption at the place where they were mass harvested). It was the worst smell I've ever smelled in my entire life. I remember gagging for a few minutes as the driver laughed and told me what the deal was.

Still not the worst road story I have lol.

But be aware of what your pet's food is made from. Or make your own, if you're worried about it!

There's typically warning against eating pet food on the bags for that very reason.

No, but I watched Penguinz0 taste pet food before for a tier list and some of it sounds to be pretty decent.

This is funny, I asked my wife this morning "have you ever thought of tasting the cat's canned wet food?"

We've never done a taste test, sad to say.

Nah, I'm not vegan so I probably wouldn't like my cat's food

Yep, tasted pretty much every type of kibble and some snacks my dog gets. But it's all plant based so I am not worried about meat getting bad or the like.

Some of the snacks are ok but I noticed that they always smell way more intensive than they taste. Kind of the opposite of human food.
