Hi. I got my puppy in August and I was told to feed him 3 times a day, mixing pancake syrup with his food, also! And I thought it was very odd, I had never heard of anyone mixing pancake syrup in their dog's food
But anyway, he is my first puppy so I figured I should really go by everything I'm told. So, for the first couple days, I gave him the food with syrup. He would take a couple bites, but he didn't seem too interested in it at all. I was concerned that he wasn't eating enough. So, I decided to try the food without the syrup...and sure enough, he ate the whole bowl! I did that for the next couple days until his first Vet appointment, where I double checked with the Vet about leaving out the pancake syrup. She told me that the syrup is not needed at all and to only use it in case of emergency. He's now 8 months old and perfectly healthy.
