WELCOME TO THE FOOD GROUP - This group was started in an attempt to present well-researched and FACT-based information on the amazingly complicated and confusing issue of feeding our dogs. There are also many issues we would like to explore. We thought it would be helpful to put all of these questions, information, and feedback into one place here on DK where everyone can find it, contribute to it, ask questions, and learn together.
WE ASK THAT YOU NOT POST ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PRODUCTS FOR WHICH YOU RECEIVE ANY TYPE OF COMMISSION OR COMPENSATION. THANK YOU.
IMPORTANT-PLEASE READ "FOOD GROUP GUIDELINES" BEFORE STARTING A NEW DISCUSSION.

Tired of the same food

Started by Stacy. Last reply by ks-man Aug 20, 2019. 38 Replies

I think this is an easy question. I think Maggie is tired of her food. She's been eating the same thing for a long time, and she's kind of blah on it. She's my most reluctant eater anyway.She's eating Nature's Variety Instinct Raw Boost Beef. She's…Continue

Your favorite high value treats?

Riley LOVES her kibble but she is really not super motivated by any treats we've tried.  We really haven't tried that many (just pure bites chicken and Zuke's minis, right now using a different Fromm kibble as treats) but we need a couple different…Continue

My turn to ask for advice. :)Jasper's digestive system has gotten a little bit "off" the past few weeks. I'm chalking it up to new and different treats, and too many of them; the treats were being dispensed very liberally during the weeks leading up…Continue

Yeah definitely an occasional treat at $6 each (this is a big 6" one) but she is loving it:)  trying to make up for our kibble debacle the other day lol.  I'm sure she doesn't remember but I have mommy guilt :p

Comment by Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle on April 26, 2019 at 5:57am

Tracheas are such a great choice of chews! No danger of them breaking a tooth, and they are a great source of glucosamine and chondroitin to boot. Most dogs love them.
The beef tracheas are a little too big for Jasper, but I found lamb tracheas, and he loves them. Highly recommend them for the smaller guys.

Comment by J and Riley (and Luna) on April 26, 2019 at 5:50am

Riley enjoying a rainy day present, her first beef trachea! I can't get a good picture because if I approach she starts getting all antsy like I'm going to take it lol.

Dont know if anyone has seen this 

Comment by Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle on March 20, 2019 at 6:08am

Thanks Laurie. Target also sells a line of Barkbox treats and donates the profits to local shelters and rescues. I just worry that if I say you can buy good treats at Target, people will end up with Beggin' Strips, lol. Nobody seems to read anything any more.

Comment by Laurie, Fudge, and Vern on March 20, 2019 at 6:04am

I wanted to let everyone know that Target nows sells Old Mother Hubbard treats.

Comment by Minda and Callie on February 19, 2019 at 12:49pm

Thank you Karen and Laura!

Comment by Laura and Angus on February 19, 2019 at 11:58am

I'm gonna throw it out there that our pup really enjoys green beans (canned). We put those, mashed sweet potato, or canned carrots on his food and he really likes that. Our pup isn't a big eater to begin with (he often eats part of his breakfast or skips a meal here and there), but he does enjoy having some veggies with his food when hungry.
