Methods for enhancing the palatability of food compositions by adding to the compositions a palatability enhancing amount of an extract of an herb or spice of the botanical genus Artemisia. The extract is added to the food compositions in an amount equivalent in flavorant effect to at least about 0.0001% by weight of tarragon essential oil. The resulting food compositions are more palatable to the animal and, therefore, help to ensure adequate food consumption by and the health and wellness of the animal.
