Use a high quality "mixer" with the Acana to give them a different taste. When my guys get "fussy" I don't jump to change the kibble, I just change the kibble's taste for a short time and then wean them back to good ole dry kibble. Perhaps a bit of chicken goo (see below for recipe), a bit of ground beef, or a high quality semi dry meat roll grated over the food. Turn the "mixer" into a gravy by adding a bit of water and microwave for a few minutes. Pour it over the dry Acana, stir well and let it absorb the gravy. Don't use enough to make the kibble soggy, just enough to make it taste different.
Chicken Goo -- boil skinless, boneless chicken breast in a small amount of water until tender. Pour broth and meat into a blender and blend until you have a goey mess. Free individual portions in ice cube trays. |
Oh my goodness....I think you should be nominated as the best furkid mommy EVER!!
I'm sure my guys would loveeeeeee this "Chicken Goo"! How in the world do you ever wean them off it, though? Do they not come to expect it then? Thank you so much for sharing this with me...wonderful idea!
