Have Questions?
We Answer Them

What are dogs’ favorite flavors?

Dogs prefer meaty and aromatic flavors such as chicken, beef, lamb, pork, salmon, tuna, liver, and offal, as well as strong notes like cheese or smoked flavors. They also enjoy some naturally sweet flavors like apple, banana, sweet potato, and pumpkin, and in general, the more aromatic the food, the more appealing it is to them.

In what types of dog food can palatants be added?

Palatants in dog food are most recommended for products with lower natural palatability, such as dry kibble, diet or low-fat specialty foods, meals for senior dogs with reduced taste and smell, and treats with less attractive ingredients. They can also enhance the appeal of regular wet foods, boosting aroma and flavor for better acceptance.

Is dog food containing palatants safe?

Yes, flavored dog food is safe as long as the additives are regulated and approved for animal feed. Palatants are a common component used by manufacturers to improve the aroma and taste of feeds. It is always advisable to choose trusted brands and monitor for any sensitivities. Palatants from reputable manufacturers come with all European and global feed safety certifications, ensuring completely safe use in canine nutrition.

Do dogs perceive flavors like we do?

No, dogs do not perceive flavors the same way we do because they have fewer taste buds and a more limited sense of taste; they mainly detect salty, sour, bitter, and umami, and primarily rely on their sense of smell to enjoy food.
