How safe or dangerous is adding a little bit of cottage cheese or sprinkle granted cheese on top of already quality puppy food (Wellness Puppy).
I ask b/c my puppy is not eating otherwise. I use to grind the dry kibble and mix with canned food and make little meatballs and she ate it all up...well I eventually want her to eat just dry kibble and chew her food so now I just set a little canned food in her bowl and add lightly soaked kibble on top and she wont touch it...its been like this for 4 days. I have to either hand feed or my vet recommended adding cottage cheese or granted cheese.
Well seeing that my vet tried pushing science diet dry kibble on me I don't want to really take her advice.
But I did try the cheese and it works... Either I add about 1/3 of a teaspoon of cottage to each meal which is about 1 teaspoon a day ,and she will eat the whole thing.. I also tried sprinkling granted cheese on top. just a little bit and she ate it. The cheese must marinate with the water I soak the dry kibble in and give it a lot of flavor.
Is this alright for her or should I go back to making her the meatballs without this extras?? Maybe when adding these extras I will give her a little less food so she doesn't gain to much weight..
p.s I feed her cottage cheese one day no diarrhea perfect stools....granted cheese the next and same thing.Doesn't seem to bother her tummy at all. I Just want to know if it is really unhealthy even for small amount given daily? Thanks
