I wouldn't feed anything to my dog that I wouldn't eat - like scraps or fat or off food!

Saturated fats are bad for your dog, just as it is for you. Dogs can get cholesterol building up in their arteries too - you wouldn't want to be feeding her EXTRA fat and clogging them up would u?

I use vinegar too. It's worked for me in the past with previous dogs, but Chloe doesn't seem to mind the smell/taste of it and will even try to lick it up after I've sprayed it! Lucky she doesn't have too many accidents these days...

I chopped up some carrot and hid it in with her canned food and kibble tonight - she ate it! Perhaps that's the trick... Last time I tried giving her bits of carrot by itself.

With the canned sardines do you give them some of the oil or just the fish?

I've read on another doggy forum that cooked pumpkin (not sure about raw) is like the magic food to keep your dog "regular" lol. They suggested using it if your dog has loose stools, as well as if they're constipated.

I've been having a bit of a read of this forum and found this thread really useful for ideas to stop biting

After having abit of a read I've noticed that a lot of you guys get quite "gourmet" with preparing your dog's meals!

At the moment my 9 week old puppy gets 3 meals a day, usually made up of a combo of kibble, can food, raw mince and a chicken neck. Most days she'll get some apple or pear too. I've tried carrot too but she won't eat it..

I'm not looking to change her whole diet, just looking for suggestions of other things I could add in for variety and to keep her healthy! Thanks
