When a pet is begging for food, it is sometimes hard to resist giving them a little taste of your meal. Dogs aren’t known for being picky about their food, eating the same kibble day after day with relish. However, owners of spoiled pooches want their pets to have the best possible culinary experience, especially for those rare finicky canines. Though pets of all kinds are known to beg, dogs tend to do so most often. There are several human foods that can be given to dogs occasionally.

Now, researchers reporting results from a pilot study in ACS’ Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry have identified key aroma compounds in dog food that seem to be the most appealing to canines.
