My wife grew up with a poodle who insisted on a green salad every night with very garlicy dressing. They discovered this when a piece of lettuce was dropped on the floor and the dog went after it and would not let anyone take it away from him. After that, he got his own tiny salad every evening along with the family.
But man, I can only imagine the doggy breath a garlicy salad dressing would give him.
Dogs are scavengers - they prefer their meat well aged, and baby poop is dessert. Cats are obligate carnivores. But even cats need a few greens. What they don’t need is grains (like what they put in most cheap cat food as filler). That pasta that Garfield likes so much is really bad for him.
I never could figure why rabbits actually LIKE the stuff. I enjoy salad but that’s mainly due to the croutons and dressing. The lettuce part is pretty tasteless.

You’ll eat the house plants but not a salad?

Salads are for people and rabbits Jon, not two carnivores.

Jon has never heard the phrase ‘Obligate Carnivore’ apparently.

The attempt is pretty good.

Bake it between a couple of extra wide noodles, with tomato sauce and cheese, and I’ll think about it.

I am a true omnivore with a leaning to meat, but I’ll attack a salad bar with out mercy once in a while.

Okay, CAESAR’S salad!

I too love salad … but it MUST be paired with some meat product. Even a meat byproduct like chicken nuggets.
