Well, he just cleaned his bowl of chicken and rice so I guess he's feeling a little better!

To be honest, Thor usually gets a pretty lavish diet. He eats maybe 1/8 a cup of Halo kibble per day. I'd say he gets at least half his calories from Solid Gold jerkey treats. I also give him soft liver treats (potty treat) and dehydrated lamb lung. I also do give him tidbits of what I eat (I KNOW), but I try to keep the tidbits super-small, usually they can fit on the tip of my pinky finger. He might get rice, scrambled eggs, green beans, peas, fat free yogurt, full fat yogurt, milk, 1/4 tsp of ice cream, or a little piece of bread very occasionally. I'll also give him most meats: turkey, low fat ham, roast beef, chicken, little bitty bits of bacon, etc. If I give him a lot of meat, I might add a couple beans to keep him regular. I guess I subscribe to the idea that both humans and dogs benefit from some variety in their diet.

I do keep pushing the kibble because his teeth are so insanely bad and I want to do anything I can to forstall his next dental cleaning.

However, the past few days I've been really careful to limit his diet. He's had as a primary staple chicken and rice, with a little milk or yogurt; a couple bits of celery; a couple greenies; and one or two liver-flavored treats, which he has tolerated in the past. He had a touch of vanilla ice cream, which was my first attempt to get his medicine down (failed). And he chewed a couple chicken bones he found in the park, though he did drop them.

He loves the chicken and rice so much, I don't know if he'll ever eat kibble again after this. That's partly why I was looking to switch him back as soon as possible. No more dog treats for the next few days!
