TIPS
For skinny dogs, adding avocados helps to put on pounds and mix in a little bit of alfalfa (which can be found at most health food stores) into their meals.
Try some of these suggestions to tempt the appetite:
Eggs lightly scrambled in butter and adding yoghurt or cream cheese
Saut?ed chicken liver in butter
Hard boiled eggs
Cooked or boiled hamburger, mixed with grated or parmesan cheese
Baby foods, such as pureed meats
Homemade chicken soup with noodles
Canned salmon or sardines
Macaroni and cheese with minced beef or sausage
Plain yoghurt with pureed liver, mix well
Canned chicken chunks
Bites from your own plate

Kimberly - I don't mean to "question" your knowledge... but have you ever tried these TIPS yourself? I'm just wondering because I've always been told to "never" give a dog any type of pasta/macaroni/noodles. I had a female AKC Bull Mastiff approximately 29 years ago that died from someone feeding her macaroni. She blew up like a beach ball. We had no idea what it was as we hadn't mated her and she was on dry food - so we took her to our vet (right then) and she died on the table. He said she was full of macaroni - that is had swelled in her stomach and become toxic. Maybe things have changed after 29 yrs - but that was something I will never forget. Just wondering...
