dobro_21 Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 I was wondering if you feed your dog that soft dog food? I was thinking about it but i remember someone saying that dog food that starts with a P(alwasy slips my mind) was bad so i wasnt sure if i should get Zipper some or not or just not feed him soft dog food. Do u feed your dog it if so how much and every day or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicGirl Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 To encourage Magic to eat I feed her a 1/4 can of soft food mixed with her dry. This is just enough to coat it. She would forget to eat sometimes if I did not do this every evening. I feed her Solid Gold, both canned and dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKB Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 I typically only feed soft food to give pills, etc. but when I do I feed Wellness, which I also feed dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BustopherJones Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Missy (age 14, with cancer and Cushing's Disease) gets 1/4 cup of Royal Canin Intestinal HE dry mixed with 1/4 cup Innova Senior canned and 1/4 cup Merrick canned. We use a variety of different Merrick foods, so that she is not getting the same thing constantly. Missy also gets an Italian meatball, which we use to hide her pills. Annie (age 3, with a delicate intestinal track that requires very careful nutirtional management) gets 3/4 cups of Royal Canin Intestinal HE dry mixed with 1/4 cup Intestinal HE canned. Both are specifically prescribed by our vet, who believes that some soft content is needed in the diet to aid digestion. But then again, that is only one vet's opinion. When I grill steak or chicken, they also get a special treat; but we don't tell our vet about that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Beer Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 I do feed "soft food" in the form of raw meat! Even my two kibble fed dogs get frequent snacks of raw meat. It doesn't seem natural to me for any creature to eat the same thing at every meal day after day, unless there is a dietary problem that causes there to be necessary restrictions. So, I give my kibble fed dogs raw meat for variety and to give them nutrients from a different food source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancy Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 We have eggs on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. Those evenings the girls get some canned food mixed in with their kibble. We figure that we've had a treat, they should, too. Fergie, the dog, gets about a half can. Maggie the cat did, but she doesn't get that much anymore as she didn't finish it.
