I'm asking about actual food your pet likes. I have two small dogs who ask for treats when I cook. I eat a lot of steamed vegetables and give them pieces of broccoli, cauliflower, bell pepper, carrots, and whatever goes into the mix. I've had other dogs turn up their noses at vegetables, but these strange little dogs love them. I've had many cats in my life, but they've always had more traditional tastes.
My cats enjoy minestrone soup, Cheetos, Doritos, Ruffles, pancakes, shredded cheese, nacho cheese, plastic wrap, pistachio nuts, popcorn, ranch dressing... They've tried a lot of things - of course not on the regular. But they are very curious and if a bowl of minestrone is left out or there's open ranch dressing on the table, guaranteed there will be a cat trying to taste it.
Mostly the cats get very high quality dry food (Arcana) and some occasional wet cat food. They are very well cared for. But they do like to try new things.
One of our dogs (the corgi) likes broccoli. He hoovers that stuff. The German Shepherd enjoys shredded cheese and positively come running when I open a can of chicken. She always gets the mostly empty can to lick on.
Drives me nuts. We have to keep anything wrapped in plastic away from the cats otherwise they'll chew on it, ultimately destroying the plastic wrap. Worst part is the loud crackling sounds from their chewing. And since I work in the garage, and since we store a lot of our CostCo stuff in the garage, it's hell on wheels when a cat is in the garage and I have a Zoom meeting.
My dog loves brocolli. I discovered that the isothiocyanates in brocolli really bother my dogs tum though. I think cooking may destroy or greatly reduce them, but I still limit the brocolli to small amounts. I give him other veggies and fruits, mostly apples.
The dog has a shit eating habit. I guess thats a strange food. For awhile I was trying all these solutions to discourage the shit eating. One was to sprinkle hot pepper on the shit. The idea was to create a negative association with the shit. Well the opposite happened— he developed a taste for hot pepper. A couple of times he stole the hot pepper jar off the counter and was trying to lick the red pepper in it. Thats when I knew I had a weirdo.
He is a pretty proficient thief and always tries to steal groceries as I bring them in and am putting them away. Hes eaten sticks of butter, loaves of bread, etc. Lately he really has been going for the rice cakes. Maybe its because theyre usually on top of the bag. He grabs a bag of rice cakes and dives under the bed with them.
I used to give him cheerios as a treat but he became allergic to them. He’s allergic to everything.
My old dog used to eat the piles of rotting seaweed that sometimes accumulate on the beach near our house. The seaweed gets really stinky in the summer and he used to roll around in it and chomp on it a bit. That was weird.
