Max was not a big eater his first year and I ended up hand feeding most of his kibble to him playing games and trick training. Now he would happily eat until he is sick, and I have to watch his weight.
Upsetting the nutritional balance is a concern with adding enticements. It can be hard on the kidneys and liver if the enticements make up more than 10 -20 percent of your pup's diet.
