Can dogs taste food or other items?

Question

Can dogs taste food or other items?

Answer 1

Yes dogs have taste buds and can taste very well. Some are very picky eaters for this reason. Most of their senses are much much stronger than ours.

Answer 2

Yes, dogs have only a fraction of the number of taste buds people have, but they do have them.

Answer 3

Yes but as already stated they have less taste bud and therefore they have a lower range of taste.

However, taste and smell are linked, hence a dog's place more emphasis on the smell of the food rather than the taste.
