So that brought me to the conclusion that he may be a little bored with his pet food. I noticed that if I added a few frozen peas or a few bits of torn up ham, he'd eat the food as normal.
When we were in Pets At Home, we come across this product that we thought we'd try. Basically, it's a condiment for dogs! You pour some of this chicken or beef gravy over your dog's dry food to give it some extra flavour and moisture.
At £1 a bottle, I have to say that I love this product. You get about 7 servings out of a bottle and Del absolutely loves it. He wolfs his food down all in one and it has seemingly cured his 'food boredom'.
Have you tried anything like this?
Is there anything you can recommend so you don't have to change your dog's food?
*This is in no way affliliated with the company/product in this post, I just really like it:)
What's it made from?
ReplyDeleteIt's basically chicken stock (or beef stock for the beef one) with seasoning. I tried adding broth-type liquid to his food but he doesn't like that, so just the tiniest of squeeze of this over his dry food makes all the difference :)
DeleteI have seen similar products. Our dogs don't need to be asked twice to eat so we don't really need them...lol. BUT when Thunder was a young dog, he would go off his food now and again. It was while he was growing until he was about 3 years old. We got so worried, we took him to the vet and had blood work done. Normal tests. We bought a high calorie canned food and mixed his kibble into that which helped. I have also used chicken or beef broth to wet the food to make it more appealing.
ReplyDeleteAh so it's not just Del then! We also tried chicken/beef broth on his dry food too, but it made him ill, which made me even more worried- it just didn't sit right on his tum. Like I said in the post, if you haven't got anything like the above, a few frozen peas mixed in really helps too- they're lovely, crunchy and sweet:)
