I think it's not so much the ingredients in the food, but the smell that attracts them. I've used Pedigree small bites in a pinch and my dogs love it. Many of the lower quality foods are sprayed with rendered fat and I think dogs love that smell. Probably some of the better foods just aren't as palatable to them. I think the exception is with foods that have a high meat content. Dogs recognize that meat smell and....meat is meat! |
