    To add canned/wet or to just add water.. is it worth it?

    I only "soak" one dogs food and that's because she had a urinary blockage in December. (Which seeing you have Schnauzers, is definitely a risk!) I add canned/homecooked/dehydrated raw food/real foods (cottage cheese, eggs, plain yogurt, meats, tin sardines, ect) to her kibble too for an extra...

    Keeping weight on with a fish based diet?

    If he's still a good weight, I wouldn't worry over it. 4lb in a year is NOT a significant loss and considering his bladder/bowels could have been full at the last visit and empty at this one, or even his last meal being in his stomach, it may not even be a very big difference in his normal...

    Puppy Food Question

    I've never went out of my way to feed puppy foods to puppies. (Same with cats/kittens) Always an "adult" or ALS food unless another kind is cheaper. I have a 1.5yo and a 16yo currently eating "puppy" food because I got the bags for REALLY cheap, like one bag was reduced from $32 to $15 just...

    Raw Bones

    So I offered Phebs another drumstick last night and a lightbulb just seemed to go off! She gave it a few licks and started chewing and tearing off the meat and made her way to the bone where she crunched through it like a champ!!! Very excited. She also ate some beef mixed with dinner the other...

    Raw Bones

    Yeah I think she just doesn't see it as food and I'm sure the texture is really weird to her too. I actually have some kelp that I bought for Zoey a while back so I'll give Phebs a sprinkle and see what she thinks but I'm not sure it'd help with what's there already? It isn't bad, she isn't...

    Raw Bones

    Just doesn't seem to enjoy it. She certainly has no issues chewing. She stole a cooked bone from the trash and started in on it in 2 seconds flat. She also eats her prepackaged dog chews with no problem. I think it might just not be smelly enough for her??? Idk. :/

    Raw Bones

    Oh and I even fasted her for a day to try and get her to eat the drumstick!!! It wasn't until well over 24 hours (and 3 bile pukes later) that she chewed some of the bone and because she kept puking on my carpet I mixed the meat with the kibble and she ate that too. But I'd like her to eat the...

    Raw Bones

    I've tried chicken feet and chicken drumbsticks so far since I have them on hand. She actually did SOME chewing on the drumbstick when I removed the meat but won't touch it whole. I even tried drizzling bacon grease on it and "marinating" it in her favorite canned food. :rolleyes: Tried frozen...

    Raw Bones

    Anyone have any tips on getting a dog to eat RMB? I've got a 1.5yo mixed breed dog with some tartar on her teeth that I want to get off. Not bad (despite a crappy Ol' Roy diet that her previous owner fed) but I'd like to get it off. Problem is, she doesn't seem to "get it" when I offer her...
