Personally, I would ditch the pumpkin and the carrots. I don't believe your dog gets any nutritional benefit from those. In addition, while I wouldn't be opposed to using this type of thing sometimes or even most of the time, I don't think your going to benefit from the teeth cleaning that a whole chicken breast/wing etc would give you. I do know that sometimes it's hard to get them started with raw and especially when you have a picky eater like you have. I have found having more than one dog often helps with this. Maybe this is your excuse for another baby?  |
Thanks so much for your reply!! Yes, I think I'm going to put egg in place of the carrot next time. So dogs don't need any fiber at all? I had the pumpkin in there for fiber and regularity. But if he doesn't need it, I'll leave it out.
I'm hoping that he will get used to the taste of these meatballs and then transition him slowly over to raw wings. I've tried and tried and he won't have anything to do with them. I don't think he recognizes them as food. I even held it in my hand like a bullystick and encouraged him to chew on it. YUCKY.
Sometimes I have to trick him with the NV medallions and call the cats and act like I'm going to give it to them to get him to eat it. He is soooooo picky!!!
