I have Thor on a dry kibble for various reasons. He's a typical yorkie - he loves any type of forbidden food, but turns his little black nose up at actual dog food. I've tried a ton of kibbles, and he seems to hate Halo the least.
When I first got him, I tried mixing in wet food with the dry, but he would just suck the wet food off and spit the kibble out. I resorted to free feeding because I know at some point he gets desperate enough to eat about 1/4 cup per day.
Anyway, last week I had a brilliant idea. I had purchased dehydrated beef liver treats a long time ago, but didn't use them, mainly because they were too big to use for training. Anyway, I decided to grind the treats up and then sprinkle that on his dry food to season it. I made sure not to leave any chunks in because I knew Thor would just focus on those.
Just now I realized Thor was not in the same room with me, which can only mean one thing: he is eating. But there are no crunching noises. How could this be?
I check up on him in the kitchen, and yep, he's at his bowl, hard at work. But he's not chewing his food. Nope, he is LICKING his kibble. LICKING IT. He'd rather take fifteen minutes to lick tiny specks of liver off his nice, healthy kibble than actually eat any. Thor, you will be the death of me.
