Another hint my vet told us.......use Parmagain cheese (sprinkle kind) on their regular food. Most all dogs love cheese and my girls gobble up their meals with this stuff on it. We have two picky danes that will only eat with cheese on their food Also, I have a dobie....she is eating the puppy food that the danes are on because it would be practically impossible to convince her to eat her own food. No harm done for her We do have to monitor her activity level and weight though, because she will get too big on the puppy food.
