I feed Albert boiled chicken and rice everyday. I have yet to find a dry food that he loves and that the kibble is small enough he always has a hard time eating it since he mouth is so tiny. Any suggestions.

How old is Albert?? Hobbs is the pickiest eater ever and has the tiniest mouth, too. I had a hard time finding a food that he liked but was also small enough for him to eat easily. Finally, after an exhaustive search and with the help of YT, we discovered Chicken Soup for the Puppy Lovers' Soul. He is obsessed with it and the bites are so tiny...the smallest I've ever seen. He just gobbles it up! You should give it a try! From time to time, probably once every other month, I'll give him some boiled chicken if I'm making it. He loves boiled chicken, too. The first 2 ingredients in Chicken Soup are Chicken and Turkey, so I am guessing that is why Hobbs likes it so much! What foods have you tried so far??

I have not ever seen the adult formula for Chicken Soup, so I am curious if the bites are as small as the puppy formula. Anyone know?

Wow! That is amazing! I rarely feed my girls table food bc if you start feeding it to them, then they will beg everytime that you get a plate, at least thats what I've always seen!

Well, our dinner was not the kind of Thai or Chinese food you get in the U.S....this was authentic Thai and Chinese food made by a lady from Taiwan! I love Chinese food and Thai food, but this food was nothing like I've ever tasted!!!! We had "Alabama" catfish, sausage, duck, tofu, beef on top of this sour crout stuff (I'm not sure if it was sour crout, it just looked like it), salmon, and shrimp, and lots of red wine! The amazing thing is that the catfish didn't taste like any catfish I've ever eaten, the duck didn't taste like duck, the tofu didn't taste like tofu, etc. His wife who cooked everything said that it is all in the way it is prepared. And it was a precise mix of food in order to get optimal nutritional value from the meal. She said that was the way she prepared every meal, with the precise mix of foods for optimal nutritional value! It was literally the best meal I've ever had, and it was most definately the most healthy meal I've ever had! I told her I needed to come over and get some cooking lessons!

Where can you find "Chicken soup for the puppy lovers soul"? I currently have my dogs on Canine Cavier but I have to order it on-line. I recently quit giving them canned dog food mixed in because I was having so much trouble housbreaking the puppy and they are not eating just the dry food very well.

Here is a page from http://www.chickensoupforthepetloverssoul.com website that gives all the retailers in Georgia.

If someone else wants to find retailers in their area, there is a link for "Locate a Retailer" on the homepage.

Hobbs just loves this food! Hopefully your little one will, too!

I thought it would be fun to cook for Ginger so I made her some skinless chicken mixed with peas and carrots thinking she would gobble it up. She just picked out the chicken and left all the veggies. She seemed to like her dog food better. I’m not sure what that says about my cooking! Lol. So I fed the rest to the dog at work. He’ll eat anything.

BabyFidgette · 06-02-2006, 09:42 AM

Wow, that's really cool! I hope all our furbabies live that long!

tpaxton23 · 06-02-2006, 10:00 AM

Thank you for that link. I'm going to go check it out this weekend. I am so glad that I can buy it at a store. I sure hope they like it.

Glad I could help! I hope they like it, too. It's relatively inexpensive, too, in my opinion....only $8.00 for a bag.

I'm Thai and definitely would agreed that Thai food does a body good...well majority of it anyways.

Austin's Mama · 06-02-2006, 10:52 AM

WOW! I never would have thought....23 y/o! Austin won't eat any people food at all...weird dog I know...he LOVES his dog food! The ONLY people food he eats and actually can't get enough of is fruits and veggies! We have a pear tree in the backyard and he gets so excited when the ripen and fall. He will chew on one all day long and be completely content!

Albert will be 1 on July 1st.
