a small bit wont hurt I guess, most dogs are lactose intolerant though so may get the runs if you feed to much.
any reason in particular that you want to feed butter?

Besides the lactose, it is full of fat and salt ... this makes it bad for you and the dog. While I agree that a little will not do terrible damage, I would definitely not be using it routinely.

Is there something in particular you were wanting to use it for?

Butter isn't really the best option for feeding to your dog, try a tiny piece of grated cheese instead, this usually works for Rocky.

grated cheese or a raw egg do the trick for Lola. not too often, couple of times a week tops.

as said, try mixing tinned fish with the food, or if its only dry you feed, a bit of warm water to soften it up Big Grin

The fat, salt and lactose content of butter is far too high for dogs. As has already been mentioned, egg is a good alternative and is very good for them. Cheese is a nice treat as well, but again, it has lactose and a high fat content, so it should be used in moderation.

a few things i do to get them eating if they go off the food or just as a treat,
1/ Sardines (always works with mine)
2/ raw minced beef mixed in with kibble, not alot but it makes it more intresting.
3/ feed after a walk (about 30 mins after)
4/ give a bone an hour before feeding and then take away and feed, the chewing and knawing stimulates the desire to eat.

And don’t ever free feed, keep to a schedule and remove the bowl after 15 mins.
