Someone asked 'what's the first thing' pets would Google if they could — and 99% agreed on one hilariously predictable search

Believe it or not, the internet has helped humans find answers to queries that would otherwise require days, even months, in a library, skimming through countless books. It is safe to say we probably have it easier than our furry friends, who simply have to make peace with the absurdities of modern life. On October 30, 2025, a Reddit user (u/happycry88) teased an interesting question about pets that quickly sparked a flood of insights from the internet. The person asked about the “first thing” pets would search on Google. Among all, one hilariously predictable answer fared better than most.  

In a parallel world where pets get to use the internet, a bunch of Reddit users guessed what their first-ever search on Google would look like. “Every pet suddenly learns to use the internet. What’s the first thing they Google?” the post was titled. People did not have to think hard on this one, as a popular prediction emerged above all the random guesses. It was presumed that the foremost thing pets would be concerned about was treats. “How to get my human to give me more treats,” wrote u/Ill_Ice7779 and u/imnotminkus agreed, “Tasty available treats in my area.”  

“How can I scare the treat cabinet to surrender and give up my treats?” stated u/sukki_ricecake719. Likewise, u/angus_beefed hilariously wrote, “Is breaking one treat into two pieces still only one treat?” and u/Admirable-Reward9415 pitched, “Pet food free sample.” Besides the brainstorming on pets and their obsession with treats, some other users contributed with uniquely hysterical reactions. Someone (u/Beautiful-Guest7442) chimed, “Cats: how to successfully (and quickly) take over the world and achieve world domination.” u/hohohnohelp said, “How to train humans to stay.”  

It is no surprise that pets are low-key obsessed with treats. At times, they would even prefer treats over their main food. According to Laft Pet, an undying interest in treats relates more to what they represent than to their taste. Treats are shown as positive reinforcements for pets as they are rewarded with them after a praise or a training command is followed. They represent joy and build trust, further strengthening their bond with humans. When an owner offers their pet treats, the latter views it as a sign of care and affection. However, not all treats are healthy for dogs at all times. Commercial treats available in supermarkets are often filled with fillers, artificial additives, and preservatives that may not provide the best nutrition for the pet. 

For health-conscious owners, there are several healthy snack options available that pets would benefit from. For dogs, these may include green beans, raw carrot sticks, small slices of watermelon, banana slices, plain O-type cereal, and other veggies. Whereas for cats, cooked fish, corn flakes, shredded/boiled chicken, steamed and cooled vegetables like broccoli, asparagus, and green beans serve high nutritional value, according to the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA).
