I rotate mixing dry with
-home made fod
-cottage
-different flavors of Innova helps a lot!

Zoe Brooklyn goes on hunger strikes from time to time and I so desperatly want her to gain weight since I think she's too skinny

1-2 tsp Iams Puppy Gravy - roasted chicken flavour
pinch of Missing Link

He usually eats the chicken and gravy first, then comes back 20 minutes later for the Canidae. I feed him this 3 x day.

Good luck finding something your pup enjoys!

I have no luck with puppy iams chicken gravy. She just doesn't like the taste. She only loves merrick wingaling. Anyone has tried merrick kibbles ?

Haven't tried the kibbles yet, but that's because a lady that came in right before me bought all the bags of Merricks Grammy's pot pie which is what I want to feed my maltese...So we settled for the canned food which she absolutely loved. I'm praying that she loves the kibbles as much as the canned grammy's pot pie.

Would you give me an update if your pup loves the merrick grammy's pot pie kibbles. I am thinking to change it from canidae since I have to mix the kibbles with merrick anyway. Thank you for sharing.

Tomorrow I will be calling this other lady that sells natural pet foods and she carries Merrick, so hopefully, she has it in stock.
Sure, I'll let you know as soon as I get the Merricks Grammy's Pot Pie dry food

She's such a picky little girl...

i mix my royal canine with nutro gourmet wet foods. he loves the chicken and cheese one for puppies. and he also loves boiled chicken pieces in his kibble sometimes. i promise that will make him eat it. mix it well and i chop up the wet food and the chicken so that he has to eat the dry and wet!

I tried mixing Bailey's food with different things, but then it got to be to much of a hassel for me so he just eats it dry Chicken Soup for the Puppy Lovers Soul kibble and he seems just fine

Sad news. Today my chelsea is going to this hunger strike again. I really do not know what to do. She stop eating all the food the she likes. I know she is not sick and she is active. Need help.

I put Grizzly Salmon Oil on Hootie & Hobbs food a couple of nights a week. They gobble their food up when I do this and it contains Omega 3&6 fatty acids so it really helps their skin and coat. Maybe you could try this or try mixing the kibbles with a high quality canned food like Evangers or 95% Chicken by Wellness.

TPerusquia · 03-14-2007, 08:04 AM

I didn't know you could feed them all that, apples, cottage cheese, reg cheese, carrots, chicken, wow mine just eats his Iams dry with nothing. I free feed so it is just out all the time. he eats a few pieces at a time throughout the day.

Can I just start giveing him stuff as treats, or is it like a baby you have to introduce it slowly??

I know exactly how you feel. I came to this forum and was about to post a new thread about my little Mango, when I
saw this thread.

Mango has been gobbling her food until 2 days ago: Nutro Puppy small bites kibble, mixed with just a smidge of Science Diet canned. All of a sudden she has gone off it. It's such a worry when they are just puppies. I think maybe I will try the cottage cheese again because that is what she was on when she first came home (mixed with other above food, of course) and she seemed to love it.

SONYSW · 03-15-2007, 11:00 AM

I took her for a walk this morning before giving her morning meal. It seems she is very hungry coming back from walking. She poops twice within 1 hour. Once after walking up and in the middle of her walk. Yorkie is wierd. I never have problem other dog before.

I have mixed her kibbles before with ceasar (I know is bad), dry liver, warm water, or cheese. I was wondering if you have better idea. She also lover raw food but I would like her to eat the kibbles because they say kibbles are good for her teeth. Any idea would be appreciated. BTW she eats twice a day (1/4 cup per meal) and I will take her bowl if she does not eat. Thanks.

Instead of mixing it, perhaps you could use a small platter and put the dry on one end and whatever else on the other end. I feed chicken breast with mine, but they never liked it mixed. They get the best of both worlds. The dry may be good for their teeth, but they are carnivorous so they like meat, too.

Just a suggestion that has worked for many years for us.

Where did you buy the salmon grizzly oil ? Since she hates her missing link may be I should try this. Thanks.
