Wet Food

Question
My 1 year old Jack Russell Pug X seems to be getting bored with just her dry
food. She is on Science Diet Adult Original formula. I was wondering what a
good brand of wet food would be to compliment her diet and make it a little
more interesting for her. Thank you :)

Answer
Maybe she read the bag LOL. No seriously., Science Diet is nasty food and should never be fed under any circumstances. Go to a pet store and choose a good premium food, a good rule of thumb is nothing you can buy at a discount store or the grocery store. Choose one with no by products (made of four d meat, dead dying diseased and downed animals) no corn (undigestable for dogs) wheat ( a huge problem in causing allergies and bloat) or soy (Same as wheat) and preferably very little to no grain or beet pulp.
Try something like Flint River< Eagle Pack, Canidae, Wellness or Natural Balance. You will find that your dog consumes less, poops less (due to fewer fillers etc), is healthier and will live longer. Do not add anything to your dog's food., no canned food, no goodies. no treats or snacks in between meals. Put her food down twice per day fifteen minutes per meal and pick it up with no comments or attention paid to whether she eats or not. DO not let her manipulate her into playing the eternal I have to find something better to feed my dog game. She WILL eat. Meanwhile, you might want to get her checked out by the vet to be sure she is healthy and has no problems with her teeth. Sometimes refusal to eat can be an early symptom of other problems. Once her health is cleared, follow the feeding advice.
Good luck and enjoy your baby
