My dog won't eat dry. Can I give him different wet food flavors?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Thanos. If the tuna fish does not cause any vomiting or diarrhea, then it should be fine to give him in small quantities assuming he is otherwise healthy. You can also try to add warm water to his dry kibble to soften it when you run out of canned food as well. Some dogs really like their food this way. I hope this information helps!

There's a good chance Thanos will continue to only eat the chicken, which will result in a nutritional imbalance. You could try mixing canned food in with the dry food instead of chicken so make it harder for him to pick out. Or you could try soaking the dry food in water and then mixing in the chicken to make it harder for him to pick out. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and good luck!

Hi there! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! There are a few things you can do to make his food more palatable while he gets used to it. For example, you may add low sodium chicken broth, veterinary approved gravy which you can get at your pet store or pieces of boiled chicken to it. Good luck!

Yes this is fine to do. Slowly replace some of the dry food with wet food, starting with just a teaspoon and working up to however much Duncan needs over 3-5 days. Make sure you're not increasing Duncan's total calories overall when you make the switch. Thanks for using Pet Coach. Let me know if this was helpful information.

It is very normal for a dog to refuse dry food, as the wet food has more flavor. My advise would be to mix both wet and dry food together for each meal. This way Willis will get the benefits of each, and should eat them both well. There are only three pet food brands which are approved by veterinarians. These are science diet, royal canin and purina pro plan. Only these three Have undergone research to ensure they provide an adequate and nutritious diet for pets. This research is approved by veterinarians. Any other food brands may not be regulated or researched as thoroughly. For this reason I would only advise feeding one of those three.

Some dogs can be very picky, and if Brownie enjoys eating food with a little wet food mixed in, that's not a problem. Many brands of dry dog food also carry equivalent wet foods, and you can mix that in while still providing a balanced diet that is healthy for Brownie to eat. If you do add in wet food, you may just want to decrease the amount of dry food slightly to account for the increase in calories for adding extras.

It's fine to mix together wet food and dry food for Buddy. Each brand of food has a different daily recommended allotment, so read the instructions on his food to know how much to feed him. Best of luck.
