Have a problem getting your dog(s) to eat dried biscuits?

Post by Jay on Sun Jan 13, 2008 5:01 pm

Well i dont know about any1 else but Enzo seems to eat anything except dry biscuits... if we put cheese or gravy or egg in it and mix it up he will go through it in 2 mins.

i just starve him till he eats them. PUT IT DOWN FOR 15 MINS IF HE DOESNT eat them take them away..a week of that and he eat them the second they hit the ground.

Haha ill have to give that a try. Is it alright to leave biscuits out for a long amount of time or do you need to put them in a cupboard or fridge etc?

yea i tried that deco, doesnt seem to make any difference to him worried

bit of warm gravy on it and he gets through it in know time... i thought all dry biscuits already had gravy flavouring on them tho and when waters added its meant to bring out the taste but no not for him lol hes picky when it comes to dog food yet he will eat any human food you put in his bowl.

I soak my dogs dry food for a couple of hours before feeding them, the food swells up and they think they are getting more. I also put a teaspoon of tinned dog meat on to vary the smell.

Does it not take all the goodness out of the biscuits if they r soaked for too long?

The goodness may go into the water but they have the water as well, I only put enough water in to swell the food. Heat will destroy the vits and mins, but cold water shouldn't.
