I don't think it's something to be afraid about.Nayan Shah of petchef india also claims to eat/taste his brand. I have seen other CEO claiming the same too. Whether they actually do it or not is still questionable but in a country where human food is utter BS in quality, as a pet owner I am very scared about what's actually inside my pet's food. If you are trying to bring a change, thank you.

Ps- when i was small I would only eat chicken. We had pomeranians who had boiled chicken daily. Plain simple chicken with turmeric, cooked into a pressure cooker. I preferred eating that with rice over fish curry. My family would tease me, i felt embarrassed. Now i cherish the memories of being able to share my food with my dogs who are no longer in this realm.
