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.

    wondered why your pet might not like particular foods?

    No. It’s the same reason that you don’t like particular perfectly good foods. They’re attuned to different factors, but it’s the same process to appeal to them.

      Back in the day, my mom fed their cat 9 Lives outdoor food. After a while she quit eating.

      After I figured out the difference between outdoor and indoor food (basically extra preservatives), and got the same exact food, but the indoor variety, kitty chowed down!

      Animals can taste the fucky chemicals as well.
