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 think you understood exactly what I meant. It’s natural for certain pets to eat insects. I never mentioned anything about poisons.

        I did understand what you said. “You don’t need to taste that, it’s natural, and natural things don’t contain chemicals”. Everything contains chemicals, and whether those chemicals are natural or artificial has no bearing on whether or not they’re harmful. You’re spreading hippie-dippy misinformation. Knock that shit off.

          Well, guess what? He refuses the chemical infused dog treats, but he loves ham and hot dogs, and also Gravy Train Chicken Flavor, ground up version, not chunky.

          I think we can both agree that’s nutrition, and also the dog is basically saying without words that the dog biscuit treats taste like absolute shit.

          Our adopted dog definitely ain’t starving, we’re just tuning into what he does and doesn’t have more of an appetite for.
