According a paper called “Can People Distinguish Pate from Dog Food”, put out by the American Association of Wine Economists, humans cannot tell the difference. The human food was put in a food processor to look like dog food from a can and only 3 out of 18 people could identify it.
So, it seems like the conclusion of this story is that your dog is eating pretty good! Or to look at it another way: the next time you’re having a swanky party and want to impress your friends, buy the dog food and let them think it’s expensive pate!
