I never have to baby Tiah into eating unless she is expecting puppies and I have to put her back on the puppy food (which she hates). I mix 1 teaspoon of Ragu cheese sauce with a serving...she eats every little piece! I don't give her table food, only a slice of cheese now and then (unless she has puppies, then I do moderate a bit). As mentioned above, any vet will tell you that a healthy dog will not starve ittself to death. She knows exactly how long you have held out and when you give in...the little buggers sure are smart! If you want, you could try the cheese sauce and keep cutting back on it till there isn't any mixed in at all.
