Cat and dog behaviors around the bowl: how pet owners decode the signs of food enjoyment

The definition of pet food performance is evolving. For owners, palatability is no longer a matter of a pet simply eating a food, but of a pet visibly enjoying food!

Beyond that food consumption measurement, surveys conducted in-home with pets and their people identify pertinent behaviors that reflect a pet's level of enjoyment.

'She meows after the meal…'
'I was just opening the bag and he was already running to his bowl!'
'Look at them, they finished their bowl and now they are sleeping!'

In your opinion, are these behaviors positive or negative?

If you don't know, ask the owners!
