My dog doesn’t seem to care one bit what he eats.

Dogs dig in the trash and lick their *****. Given the chance, they eat ****.
They don’t care what food tastes like. They just really like eating.
That doesn’t mean he can’t tell the difference between foods, it just means he has little to no preference. Dogs are natural scavengers, eating what opportunity presents, so aren’t always picky about what goes into their stomaches.
We, as owners, have an obligation to feed them the best possible diet despite the fact that some dogs, given their druthers, will eat anything from fecal matter to dead carcasses.
Dogs have a very sensitive sense of smell and with that comes a sensitive sense of taste. It’s just your dog likes them all and isn’t very picky. Pretty typical.
yes they can. they have taste buds just the same as humans. you are lucky you have a dog that just doesn’t mind what he eats
I have seven dogs, 2 boxers, a German Shepherd, 2 chow mixes and two Chihuahuas.
The 5 big dogs don’t care which kinds of food I feed them, they will eat everything.
But the 2 Chihuahas are very very picky, they only want puppy chow (even though they are both adults) or a Pro Plan Small breed formula, i find thats their favorite.
I assume that since the little ones are house dogs and basically treated like humans they tend to be more picky, maybe bc they are small breeds….
Oddly enough I think that there are a few out there that do.
A friend of ours has an Irish Setter who will absolutely refuse to eat “Turkey and Rice” but would devour “Lamb and Rice” of the same brand.
My border collie goes crazy for the “ginger bread” flavoured treats over all others. We’ve laid them all out numerous times and each time he goes for the gingerbread without fail.
Then again, my beagle will eat just about anything you throw his way.
Dogs have really low taste buds. If they were made to be picky eaters there ancestors would have died off in the wild. Some dogs are more picker than others but most don’t give a care.
all dogs have a great Sense of smell. with that said. most smaller breeds, are so called fussier than the big breeds…
i hear this all the time my dog wont eat !! leave the food down long enough, he will eat …
they test dog food , on dogs, to see, what dogs like or don’t like, most dogs food ,are masked to help dog choose it …
and dont forget , human should be able to eat it as well…. that the rule. of the f.&d admin…. but i ant eating my dog food lol
i also believe dogs Sense right-before we feed them, we smile at our dogs and , make a big deal about feeding them. right?
in the wild they will eat anything to survive….
as for eating dog ****. that down to lack of minerals
Some dogs (and cats) are picky eaters, some are somewhere in-between, and some will eat anything you put in front of them. They really are a lot like people. Even if a dog will eat anything and everything you give them, I think it’s our responsibility as pet owners to try to make sure they get the most nutritious food for their needs. Since my husband kind of took over the dog I got, she has gotten fat. I’ve tried to tell him he gives her too much of the wrong food, too many table scraps. He really loves that dog, and he keeps showing his love by sharing his food with her.
I think dogs can tell the difference in foods, though, unless they inhale it, lol! Some of them scarf it down so fast, they probably can’t taste it.
If it’s edible then it’s good enough for them. Trash is edible, isn’t it? Some dogs just don’t eat some things
