What are dogs gonna do, complain in human language that they don't taste like pumpkin or cookies and cream?

There's no scenario where a reasonable and normal human being can ever prove or disprove the advertised flavor of dog treats. And if you do? Congratulations you fucking weirdo, yeah maybe they lied but YOU put a dog treat in your mouth. You lose by default, bro

All it needs is themed packaging, a vague colorful tint, and boom it's now whatever flavor you say it is. If anyone objects, "ah, nope. They just taste bad to you because you're not a dog"

It's all such silly goosery

I could be wrong, but I believe (because of depressions) dog food needs to be human edible.

I personally feel bad when I feed my dogs shitty treats. So yeah, I taste them. Turns out the chicken jerky is actually pretty good. Like I would probably buy some marketed for humans. Everything else is shit. My dogs generally have a similar reaction (expressed by their eagerness to eat what I have).

Aside from that, dogs generally prefer the stinkiest treats you can find.

    I'm not saying that they shouldn't be edible, I mean if you're dirt poor and can't afford food, then it's definitely better to have something that both you and your dog can eat

    But like, dogs don't have high standards at all, for what they'll eat. I've seen my dog try to go for, fucking like dead birds or rotting veggies. I really don't think they care if their biscuit tastes like cheesecake or not
