    So… we are switching the kids over to Orijen. I mixed in a little bit with the EVO we had left... and Miles picked out all EVO bits and spit them into the living room!!

    Tayda has always been a picky eater, and I used to put her food down for 15 minutes and then pick up what she didn't eat and she didn't get another chance to eat until next feeding time.

    Now, with this Fanconi stuff - I HAVE to get food/vitamins into her - so now I feel like I'm at her mercy with her picky-ness. I started w/ giving her the Innova senior - which she would not touch. Then I mixed in Wellness Senior with the Innova senior. She would pick out the Wellness and leave the Innova. I'm adding other things (natural yogurt for probiotics, wet food for long chain amino acids, pumpkin for fiber). But, she just keeps getting pickier and pickier. Now, we are at half/half Wellness/Innova, spoonful pumpkin, spoonful natural yogurt, spoonful wet food, a little low sodium beef broth and MICROWAVED for 10 seconds. Really, I mean, really…

    Lenny is a great help by scarfing down his food and then standing over her and pressuring her to eat...

    Haha. I've made myself heart from the grocery store, and I liked it. I've had liver and onions and chopped liver, and they were good too. Freeze dried, just dounds so … dry... Medjai seems to like it though.

    @snorky998: Thank you, Andrew. How's Shango been? Still the adorable host at the shop? He's doing GREAT. He's still managing things at the bakery just fine though day after day he just glares up at me after a pup leaves the store- he wants another dog to play with so badly! LOL

    Hey Janneke. We tried chicken wings for a few days and the only result was diarrhea ! So maybe it's better to move more slowly towards BARF :confused: The approach of Dr. Pitcairn towards healthy food for animals in casu dogs and cats seems logic and reasonable to me and he uses raw meat in his recipes so that's a plus too. Healthy powder is a mixture of the following ingredients. He uses it in all of his recipes and… I tasted it myself and it's not that bad at all ;) HEALTHY POWDER (recipe copyright of Richard H. Pitcairn,D.V.M.,Ph.D.) 2 cups (1 cup=250 gr) nutritional yeast (no beer yeast !) 1 cup lecithin granules 1/4 cup kelp powder (zeewier) 5 teaspoons eggshell powder optional 1000 mg vitanin C (I didn't use it) We just have to monitor Bendji for a few weeks to see if he does react positively to the yeast because some animals are allergic to it. And so far he loves it !! (in fact he loves everything that's eatable hahaha);) If you have more questions please feel free to contact me for more info.

    @JazzysMom: Funny – Jazzy is my dog that is not in a hurry for food {although treats do exite her}; she doesn't run to the bowl, takes a long time to eat, etc. And she is the one with the weight struggles. I have to watch her intake closely or she chunks up pretty fast. Keoki is our pig. He lives for food, glorious food! He'd stuff himself sick if we let him. Yet he is our leanest dog -- not skinny, but not an ounce of extra fat on him either. You'd think it'd be the opposite, wouldn't you? our house is the opposite. Dash is much slower to eat than Sissy. We have had to become creative to get him to eat quickly so she doesn't end up eating it all.

    I feed Tayda in her crate, because if i don't she will pick up a few pieces of food, carry it to the carpet and eat it there. Also it keeps Lenny away from her food. Usually when he's done eating, he'll wander over to the crate and wait around like a vulture. ha ha. However, I did notice Tayda's eating habits changed a lot once Lenny was around. She used to not eat much, maybe once a day, and she would never finish her food. Even now, I feed them both at the same time and Lenny will gobble up his food, and Tayda will just sit around. Once Lenny is done and is wandering over for Taydas food, she gets up and starts eating. It really seems like she only eats so that he doesn't get her food.
