Five Ways to Make Man's Best Friend's Meal a Little More Appetizing

Is your dog tired of that boring old dry dog food that you give him/her everyday? Dogs can even get bored with their daily wet food. Here's five great ways to make Fido's meal a great one without too much work.

  1. Add a tiny bit of human food to their food.

    This will make their food a little more tasty. Mix some cooked rice with chicken broth into their wet food, coat some dry food with some peanut butter, and maybe even a little bit of cheese, but not too much because too much cheese may dull the dog's nose. Here's a list of people foods that you should NOT feed your dog:
    • Alcoholic beverages
    • Chocolate
    • Coffee
    • Grapes or Raisins
    • Spoiled food
    • Onions, garlic, or salt
    • Bones
    • unripe fruits
    • yeast
  2. Heat up the food a little

    Your dog's food will smell and taste better when you heat it up on the stove or microwave for a little bit. After that, your dog will be much more enthusiastic about dinner time.
  3. Fancy up the dry food

    Your dog may not like his or her dry food but there are ways to fix that. Soak the dog food in some broth, mix in some treats, or combine it with canned or wet dog food
  4. Don't give your dog the same exact food every day

    The next you go buy dog food, buy two smaller bags with two different flavors (chicken, lamf, beef, etc.) instead of one big bag. Alternate the flavors each day so your dog won't get too bored with the same-tasting food everyday. Do the same with wet or canned dog food.
  5. Look at the weather

    If it's boiling hot out and you've just taken Spot to the park, give him some cold water and then feed him afterwards. If its freezing cold outside, heat up his/her dinner. Accomadating your pet's needs when the weather's a little too much can also lead to a happier dog at dinner time.

In my country, our native dogs thrive on table scraps.

Although I must admit the scraps don't look very appetizing to me, the dogs seem to enjoy it very much!

Wouldn't feed the same to purebreeds, though :-)
