She won't eat royal canin. That is why we give her the I/D. It's the same thing, just not canin, science diet. It is wet food. Canned. Fromms is the Kibble.

Nutrical paste is given to her either on boiled hamburger, or another form of something with protein. I have only given her the paste without anything else when she was spayed. I need you to understand that I'm in constant contact with my vet on her tummy issues. I know about not giving her a bone, although I'm confident that ann wouldn't suggest something if it was bad, and also how to use the paste. I don't use that just to use it. 3-5 times a week is what the vet wants, and I was given several approved foods to use it with, because they are aware of how picky she is. I take her off of it when she's eating, and then faithfully call the vet and say, she's doing it again, and then she laughs and says little stinker and then we wait for her to stop again. Chewie will eat boiled hamburger and bison until the cows come home. That's the problem. JUST that. Nothing else. Yes, we make it a game. When she will eat the homemade food, I always have a little bit of it without the other stuff in it. She will watch me eat mine, then I say now your's. It's the only thing that's humorous about this, because She expects hubby to do it at his feeding time.

I just worry about dogs getting the right supplements that's all. My aunt had a home cooked diet her vet said was ok without any supplements and she wasn't getting what she needed and ended up losing 5 molars at 3 years old. One of the biggest things I worry about with vets giving to much nutritional advise is they only study a little about nutrition so I always recommend a vet nutritionist. I can't wait to go over nutrition in my classes but it's not till spring that we will do that. I didn't say anything about bones in this post there was another where you made it sound like you boiled the bone and then gave it to her that was just misunderstanding which is easy to do online. I'm sorry that it seems your getting frustrated with me I'm just trying help. My girl has IBD and I tried every food before she was diagnosed and she would still vommit and have diarrhea. It was the third time we went in for fluids my vet said I think it IBD and we went on special food. She was and is picky, like had to change foods all the time and the only one that she would keep eating was the Royal Canin but it started to seem to cause issues after awhile. She's been on the prescription food for two years and never got tired of it which seems crazy to me lol. She takes meds that if she doesn't eat with she will get an upset tummy so we give a small amount of boiled chicken with. Sometimes she goes through the I'm not going to eat days less now then she used to. I get picky lol. I really just care not trying to be a brat or anything.
