because it's for the owners. Animals are not nearly as into flavors and all. "Would you like to..." comments - well I'm not a DOG. The DOGS I've had don't have a preference - they'll eat anything in front of them. If I want to appease myself in humanizing them to project my food boredom on them then tere's options of different kind of food. Pet foods aren't what it seems anyway. I mean really who decides if it's beefy flavored enough...it's "flavored" with by products - that's not BEEF. The pet food companies have marketing campaigns to convince owners their dog has to eat just like us to be happy and healthy. Mine are unquestionably happy and healthy - and eat like DOGS. My cats don't care whether it's "paws n claws gourmet" or science diet or "special kitty" - they'll eat what is available and are happy with it.

In the case of dog food I would agree that it is mostly for the owners own satisfaction. However dogs DO need variety in their diet to have better health which is why I believe in changing their food every 2-3 months. As for the by products in the dog food there are dog foods out there that don't use by products and those are what you should be feeding in the first place.

Why would you want to eat the same type of food every day? Dog's lick their rearends because they are not humans and its their way of cleaning themselves. Its not because they're stupid, as you seem to imply. Plus, alot of dog's are like childeren to their owners. Maybe their owner wants to spoil them by getting them lamb and beef food and peanut-butter biscuits.

LOL! And, more to the point, why are none of those flavors what dogs apparently really like- "rear-end flavored treats"?
