My vet told me for treats to take a few slices of the the canned food, cut into thin disks and then into strips, bake them in a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes or so - I had to do it for 40 mins. - and Ralphie glommed them down in a flash too! I almost feel like this food is leaving him empty and I'm feeling guilty. I wish my kids were as eager to eat as my dog! Maybe I should feed them SD too!
