Nikki,

I give Cody dry Natural balance venison and rice and Fish and sweet potato because previously, he was having loose stools and this has turned that around for the better. He also was biting at his back legs and this food has helped that also

I do mix a bit of cottage cheese in with his meal at supper time. I also offer him plain yogurt - I freeze it in a small kong and he likes that for a treat. I have added plain pumpkin to the yogurt, mix it in and freeze in in the kong also. I also offer him strawberries and blueberries which he loves. I don't give him large amounts, just a few here and there. He also gets carrots or
broccoli at times, and apples also. All things he loves. I have tried some canned food with him and he doesn't seem to care for it.

We don't let him beg at the table. He will sit and watch us, but he does not
get anything off our plates at that time.

I know my kids give him a snack here and there when they are eating in the family room, but I have not had problems with him not wanting to eat his own
food; I still do watch his weight though, so he doesn't get too plump.

On puppy training nights, he gets 100% venison or lamb liver treats which I cut up into small pieces, or he gets the freeze dried lamb liver. Once in a while, bits of string cheese; but on training night, he gets less for his supper meal, because the treats add up to quite a bit during training class.
