| How can I get my babies to eat Innova? I switch my dogs' food to Innova and they seem like they hate it. What can I do to spice it up? |

| What are you switching them from and which Innova formula are you trying to get them to eat? Toki is always eager to eat new foods! I have used warm water in her kibble or a small amount of canned food (just enough to coat the kibble) to encourage her to eat in the mornings. |

| I have heard of people getting canned food and taking some of it and mashing it up and mixing it with warm water and pouring it over the top of the dry food as a topper or a gravy.

| i've switched them from a crappy food (dog chow and kibbles and bits) to Innova adult dog food-small bites; it has a picture of a yorkie on it. it seems to have everything that they like, i.e. cottage cheese, turkey and chicken. thx for the reply. |

| I put very hot or sometimes boiling water over Tibbe's kibble and then stir it up to encourage the broth to form, let it cool and by that time he's clamoring for it from all of the smells(yeah, I know - yuck!) going through the house. If I want to really give him a treat, I add some canned version of the same food to the bowl. He just loves the combo.

| Adding coconut oil always does the trick at our house... other family members have success with it too.
