Happy Dog/Puppy Food

Submitted by PanNan

"This recipe is guaranteed to satisfy the pickiest dog. We were advised to feed our puppy dry puppy chow. He would just nibble on it throughout the day. Consequently his outside needs were hard to predict. This recipe was the answer. Our mature dog suddenly developed an appetite for his food, too. Now, both dogs practically inhale this (I feed twice a day), we know when to let them outside, resulting in happier pets and parents! It also provides some extra calcium and protein. If your dog doesn't exercise much, you can use the lighter canned dog food, and the fat free yogurt."

If you happen to be out of yogurt, cottage cheese is a good substitute, mine love it mixed in the kibble.

Just a comment - I have not tried this yet but I will when I go home. I have the pickiest dog in the world and with her she has an awesome sense of smell (she is an Akita) and I have noticed that as soon as her dry food gets "old" she wont touch it. So, I buy her dry food in the smallest bag I can find and immediately transfer it from the bag to gallon size zip-lock containers. The food stays fresher longer and there is less waste that way.

I tried just a spoonful of plain yogurt and you would have thought the kibble had turned to steak! My dogs share a big bowl and 1 large tablespoon mixed with dry food for 3 small dogs was enough to have them begging for more.

Thank you so much. My puppy had all but stopped eating her dry food, and would only nibble at it mixed with canned. (I'm in the process of moving, and it really seems to be stressing her out.) I gave this a test run this morning, and she licked the bowl clean. I cut the dairy element in half because I was afraid of it upsetting her stomach, but she didn't seem to mind.
