Will my dog know the difference between Ramen noodles and a nice quality piece of filet?

I mean, they eat poop, so it's a tough sell.

That doesn't mean they don't have taste buds. Maybe they like the way shite tastes?

Considering the speed at which they eat any people food I give them, I'd have to say they aren't exactly getting the most out of whatever taste buds they have.

I believe dogs are more concerned with texture than taste when it comes to feeding

Yep, they gobble up a steak vs eating their regular food.

No taste buds. Dogs use their incredible sense of smell. My dogs would arse rape a porcupine to get to that bacon cooking in the microwave.
