Wet food...

Yes, but she seems to be developing a bad habit of preferring everything but her food. And my husband is a pushover. She came to us with horrible manners. Counter surfed, stole the cat's food, jumped up on people constantly. Would steal the food right off of your plate if you didn't watch her. It was bad!!!!!! I know some of this was just puppy and once she settled in we were able to correct the habits. So we are trying really hard to make a good dobie out of her. The less bad habits the better.
Sometimes spouses have a way of doing that and it does make it tough. Hubby always feeds them in the morning and when they're pups I say "no wet food yet" because I want them to really have a good appetite for the dry kibble above all else. When I tell him that we might as well go ahead and give them a couple spoonfuls on the dry kibble now that they're old enough he says "oh I have been anyway". LOL

Today was Zasha's first full day of nothing but Taste of the Wild. Her food has been officially changed 
She's eating 1c TOTW Puppy with 1/4 can TOTW canned wet food mixed in. She gets this twice a day and she is loving it! I do offer her a cup of just the dry first thing in the morning but she just eats a few bites. She's like me, I'm not a breakfast person either.
Do any of you give those green dental treats? I can't think of the exact name. Her vet gave her one last time she was in there. They're kind of expensive. Just wondered if they were worth it especially with feeding wet food.

Greenies? I used to with my first dog but now we just give raw bones. They work the same, if not better and are much cheaper.

greenies are a rice flour compacted product.... with 'chlorophyll' for fresh breath... hard packed pressed and steamed rice flour? gross...
a real bone is what they want and some fresh barley grass grown just for them will work for chlorophyll, so does spinach, kale or any other leafy veggie and it has real nutrition not something fabricated and over priced! some real food with a all kibble and canned diet will be hugely advantageous for your dog. They do NEED REAL food just like we do. ALL commercially processed diet is simply the least nutritionally bio available. The addition of wet food is a big improvement over the plain dry kibble diet, regardless of what brand you feed. Its commercially processed and that says it all.
so I vote NO on the 'greenies'....

Zasha bones and chew toys galore. I buy her something new every week! She has Nylabones, Kongs, braided ropes, real bones, balls, a ball with a braided rope, and a stuffed squeaky toy with a rope at each end of it. The squeak toy is her newest. I wasn't going to buy her a stuffed toy because she likes to find the kids' stuffed animals and I have to use "leave it" alot. I figured getting her a stuffed toy would confuse her. But this toy is shaped like a bone and isn't furry so I'm hoping she knows the difference. Idk. She loves it. Thanks for answering about the greenies. I couldn't believe how expensive they were!
She's doing very well on the food It seems like she enjoys it. She is eating more for sure. I think because she likes it better and because she's growing! I just can't believe how much her features are changing. She's looking less puppy like everyday.

Speaking of the TOTW canned food, is their formula more of a gravy type or the solid more paste type of food? We can't get it around here, but if it's more of a gravy type I'd probably order some then next time I place an order for something else. Like I said, Albert doesn't like the canned Evo at all, so I've gone strictly to the Merrick cans now, but they never mind a little variety.
