I would be careful adding treats to her diet...she may get so used to the extra treats that she will go off her food and that wouldn't be good. I think I would try just adding a few things to her kibble and then gradually take them out when she has gained enough weight. |
Well not only can I not afford to feed her that much people food (we have to eat, too) on TOP of her kibbles, but she doesn't eat her kibbles if there is people food being fed to her. She won't eat an egg or chicken + the kibble. We did the chicken + rice thing after she had her spay surgery just to promote her to start eating again and that she was ok, and then she wouldn't eat her kibble again right away. She would eat all the chicken and rice around the kibble and move the kibbles out of the bowl in little piles of 3. It was funny, but not good.
So the part where you said adding treats might make her go off her food isn't only subject for treats. I feed her treats now, like carrots for her teeth and some training treats and she doesn't stop eating the kibble with it. I just need something that is meant to help with weight gain specifically or is known just for high calories in general. But I guess I'll just have to google.
Thanks, though.
