My vet and dog trainer are BIG advocates of wet food. Dogs prefer it and seem to thrive. I haven't seen the need for it with Dori. |
Thanks for the info. I've done that in the past, but it didn't work. Now it works when I get the "Swifter" mop and scoot his bowl. Then he gets upset and scarfs it down~! I've been away for the morning and got back and his bowl wasn't touch. But he was ready to play and he did eat all of his amount I put down. A long time ago, I met a Vet outside of his practice and he told me that a dog can go up to 3 days without eating, which is normal. He also told me that dogs don't eat a set time when they are in the wild, so sitting the bowl down at a precise time or the 20 minute routine may not be my answer. Humm...makes sense to me.
