    We rarely give canned food to our pets, its usually a treat.
    We sometimes mix dog food with dripping/scraps of our meals.
    And we sometimes mix cat food with drippings from our tuna cans.

    Nope. I use to, to coax kai to eat his meals but now he just has to deal with eating when he's hungry I guess.

    I give a 1/4 of a can of Mighty Dog (beef flavor) to each of them at night. I water it down so it is almost the consistency of gravy and then pour it over the dry kibble. It adds a little bit of flavor and they love it.

    They get it every morning (1 1/2 tbls each watered down and poured over their food). Huney won't eat if I don't and I do it for Angus so he will take his pills. And Roxey is special-she only wants to be spoon fed

    only sometimes, if we run out of their dog meat or cannot get to the pet food store, they will get tinned food.

    but i can tell the difference when feeding tinned food because we have a gas problem *wouldnt be miss clover lol*

    Samantha gets a can of food for dinner every night and has dry food out at all times in case she wants to munch on it. The vet said that it was fine and that she's in great shape, so I've kept with it since it seems to work for her.

    Chester can only eat Nature's Recipe Venison & Rice. This has been the only food that is lean enough to keep the pancreatitis monster away. He has the dry version in his cube to munch on thoughout the day, but at night he's like Roxey. He wants to be spoon fed his canned food. And being the sucker that I am, I do it!!!!

    Millie gets all dry kibble mixed with a tablespoon of wet food for flavor. She knows when it's food time and if we don't feed her on time, she reminds us.


    Aneko has, like 3 teeth so she has to eat canned food. She always tries to eat the dry kibble, and will swallow it whole, but it gives her very bad gas.

    LOL! Me too.
    I use Mighty Dog too, except 1/2 a can.

    They get mighty dog 2-3 times a week when
    I am not cooking something else for them.

    I used to feed dry food, until I realized that A: they should eat what they love, and B: I was feeding them dry food for the benefit of their teeth, when it's better to just brush their teeth in stead. Plus, neither of them gets gas from it! We do mix in some dry kibble usually though.

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    Do you save your labels for the Mighty Dog calendars? I do, plus I buy other calendars too. I have calendars all over the house, but then I need those reminders or I forget! LOL!

    Boo Boo gets canned food at night and he gets dry dog food to munch on. He really dosen't eat the canned food until its all dried out and my grandpa throws it in the yard then he goes and eats it!
