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 mean, animals don't necessarily experience taste in the same ways humans do. What tastes terrible to me may still be very appealing to a dog or cat etc., regardless of taste.

The way my dog licks his balls you'd think they taste really good, but they didn't taste great to me

A dog eats poop. That might as well say that taste is experienced very differently.

I’ve licked some good balls before tbh

That's not true! That dog's balls tasted average, at worst.
