| Good or bad - I add stuff to Lucy's food all the time. I got in the habit when I switched her to NB Vegetarian - which she only halfway liked. Here are some things I rotate: parm cheese; canned carrots; green beans; plain, unflavored yogurt, egg noodles; scrambled egg; and I put canned food on her kibble every evening. Wellness 99% meat. Good Luck!

I am getting a new pup in about 4-5 weeks, and his breeder has asked me to continue to feed him life's abundance. I tried to get Noah and Allie to eat it and they won't touch it-I want all 3 pups eating the same thing, so I'm really struggling to find a solution before Westley comes to join us.

| So you have to hand feed even with baby food? I'd be much more concerned about Noah and the hypo issue. Is Allie an adult? How long have you just put the food down, left it for 20 minutes, picked it back up, twice per day, etc. for her? How long has she held out? Lots of people give cheese. Really, it's what you are comfortable with. IMO, most of it is fatty and/or too rich for my dogs. I've seen, read about, and personally dealt with enough cases of pancreatitis to sufficiently scare me out of giving anything questionable for the most part.

| I give Jovi a little sprinkle of Parm. cheese usually in the morning and she does the happy dance - runs around and rubs her face - I didn't think anything of it cause if I eat grated Parm cheese my nose itches too.... |

I have been picking up allies food from the beginning, since I got her. (she is almost 7 months, Noah is almost 4 months). To begin with she was eating almost all of it, now she picks and won't eat much-maybe 10-12 pieces and then leaves it. I put her food down when I'm hand feeding him, so she's on the same feeding schedule of 4x a day with treats for good potty and then before bedtime. I pick it up when im done feeding him, so 15-20 minutes. They eat their treats with no problem, and used to eat the kibble with no problems. Even if I put his kibble in the baby food, he licks the baby food off and spits out the kibble. I've even tried crushing the yogurt melts and breaking up the liver treats and hiding it in with the kibble and they just search it out and leave the kibble. They aren't starving, as they are clearly eating some, and poops are normal, bit they aren't eating their "recommended amount". Thanks for all the feedback and help.
