I think this "flavor" scent is intended for humans to enjoy. So your dogs breath smells like something the human likes.

Now I am curious what it tastes like for the dog. Most dogs love pumpkin.

I don't know if they work better on dogs, but from personal experience, there is simply no amount of Greenies that can improve my cats' breath.

Maybe it’s more about their farts and shit?

My dog goes nuts for pumpkin puree, but hates greenies, so I dunno

That's because it would more accurately be called pumpkin pie spice, since it's based on the spices that go into a pumpkin pie. I guess it's just too many words for the general public to comprehend.

Nah, I bought some frosted mini wheats that were labeled pumpkin pie spice.

But also I'm pretty sure pumpkin spice Cheerios contain pumpkin.

But these do have pumpkin in them.

FlyingSquid@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Do they? They don't say they do on the outside of the bag. Admittedly, I didn't look at the ingredients.

Edit: Looks like dried pumpkin is an ingredient, but it's pretty far down the list. I'm guessing it's not going to be a big flavor enhancer for a dog since they don't exactly have sophisticated taste buds anyway.

I'm guessing the pumpkin spice isn't too strong either, but dried pumpkin is the first "flavorful" ingredient, at least.

I'm guessing the whole thing is entirely for the owners and if dogs could tell you what it tasted like, they'd probably say, "delicious wheat gluten!"

pooberbee@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 2y

Having tasted a few dog foods and treats, I agree.

They're dogs. The flavor they like is "butthole".

My mom's dog goes nuts when she finds tissues coated in boogers in the trashcan or if she finds underwear that has been worn for a day. She acts like she's at an all you can eat buffet.

I had a puppy that specifically ate the crotch of all my underpants in the laundry. She was pooping out ladybugs and tye dye for days.

FlyingSquid@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

My dogs insist on eating their own eye boogers when I clean them, so that doesn't shock me.

I'm told they also quite enjoy testicles, but my boy came to us without them.

Dogs love pumpkin. Dogs love cinnamon.

Honestly this is pretty funny. As long as they didn't remove the dog version of crack from these, 25% off sounds good too.

I'm certainly fucking weird, but I was fucking weird before I got any dogs.

Who is this "weird" you all are referring to?

VulKendov@reddthat.com · 2 pts · 2y

Perhaps they are referring to a Mr. Yankovic. Don't know many other people named Weird.
