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

    Isn’t the marketing directed to the dog owners (humans) to disclose what animal produce their product (I.e., “chicken flavored”) contains, more than advertising a distinctive taste as usually the case with human targeted edibles?

      Nah I’m talking about flavors that dog treats don’t normally have, like “pumpkin spice” or “eggnog”

      Kinda shit you’d expect on something that humans eat. Makes you kinda wonder how dog owners know that their dogs even like those flavors, or that they even taste it in the same way that we do. And I’m not saying that they don’t either, but like why go out of your way to get it? Why assume, you know?? It’s just crazy

        Oh, I see! I’ve never seen pet food marketed in that way before. I guess the strategy is to play on how humans tend to apply humanistic traits to animals, but It’s very strange and weird nonetheless.

        That is marketing targeted at particularly stupid humans. Now tell them it is reversible and go enjoy the occasional bit of dried lung themselves.
