I haven't eaten their kibble, but I certainly know it can't taste as good as the food I cook for them myself (which is basically a shepherd's pie and I have eaten a bowl of it when I had nothing else to eat for myself). I might have tried cat kibble as a kid but I don't remember what it tasted like.
I've also tried jerky made for dogs and it wasn't half bad. Not quite a slim Jim but it wasn't disgusting.
I've tried FreshPet or whatever the hell it's called; that refrigerated chub of "fresh" dog food some places sell. It's like an inferior version of the stew I make for them.
My mom used to own a grooming shop, and sold jerky for dogs. Two of the groomers there preferred it over jerky for humans, and would routinely be found snacking on it. I've tried it, it's basically just jerky without the pepper. I like the pepper, so I prefer regular jerky. Lol.
We also make our own dog food, though, and it's basically rice veggies and turkey (sometimes chicken livers). Which is, honestly, something I would totally go to town on, if it were just seasoned a little better
Exactly what I make for mine, though instead of livers I'll give them some salmon like once a month.
Ooh, I might pick up some salmon for them, they'll like that. We do mackerel sometimes, too. And once or twice we've done just ground beef because I forgot to shop until 930 at night and dollar general sells it lol
