Do you add anything to your dogs' food?

**Tollers-n-Dobes** · 08-23-2005, 06:26 PM

For those of you who feed kibble to your dogs, do you add anything to it? Winston and Tango both get water, some sort of vegetable or fruit and chicken (not raw though...). Tia doesn't like anything added to hers so she just gets kibble and a little bit of water.

edited to add: The only reason I add water to their food is because Dobermans can get bloat really easily and water in their food with a raised dish helps prevent it. The other 2 just get water because they like it better that way....

Yes, LOUD Louie gets Missing Link powder. It has helped GREATLY with the "Itchies".

Only sometimes as a treat. If we're having rice, green beans, or something of the like for dinner I set aside some with no butter or anything on it just for them.

Payson gets a scoop of canned food in the evening; it insures that he eats it all up before the kitties can get to it.

Ooops i voted before reding

. My guys dont get kibble. But i do add Kelp, Calcium (I grind my own egg shells), and they also get Flaxseed oil once a week.

Yes, Harlee gets warm water added (and I stir it in to make it kinda like a soup), and a veggie mixed in too. And a couple of days a week, she also gets a couple sardines mixed in. The days she doesn't get kibble, she gets raw chicken...

Normally no, but if I'm having something soupy for dinner I'll pour what's left over from my bowl into all 3 of theirs. So far their favorite seems to be homemade Chicken Soup and Pot Roast Stew.

Not usually, sometimes I will add some veggies but most of the time they just get dry dog food

**LeahMM** · 08-24-2005, 02:58 PM

my dogs get a brewers yeast with garlic tablet and a blob of pure pumpkin.

**Buddy Blaze Lover** · 08-24-2005, 03:27 PM

Blaze just gets his food dry most of the time, although sometimes he gets a treat like wet dog food, or a few table scraps. I just always hate giving him anything but dry, because when it comes out...well, let's just say it's not so fun to pick up! lol

just wondered.. what's the difference between no and never?

I put chicken in Snowy's food sometimes because she really loves it.

There really is no difference, just my mistake.I guess that's what happens when you make threads when you should be in bed...lol
