That's what we do. We don't quite going it, but shred it very tiny and then (hubby does it best) get in there with your whole hands and sort of try to grind it into the kibble, pretty much like the poster above said. You can start with just a 1/4 of kibble or so and hopefully raise it up. Maggie gets about 1/2 cup royal canine and about a table spoon of chicken...maybe more. She doesn't always finis that half cup either (per day). Daddy has spoiled her so that after she eats a little more than half she backs up and looks at him, and he mixes in more chicken. Sometimes we add a little bit of American cheese, just a tiny bit.
The problem with all this is getting a caregiver to do the same thing. I have prepped the mixture ahead of time and left it in the fridge. A few seconds in the micro seems to do it. I wonder if people with big dogs ever have to deal,with this, or do they just eat whatever isn't tied down? |
