As far as the fussy eating goes, I would advise tough love. I'm sorry if it sounds harsh but we've found it the best way. Put her food down, if she turns her nose up then after say 10 minutes take it up and give her nothing again til the next mealtime. No treats, nothing. She will no doubt make you feel like a bad dog Mum but it does work, dogs wont starve themselves!
I've had dogs live to 17 and never fed a senior food. It's just advertising. The good foods have what you would want in it anyway.
Ok guys seriously I'm not giving this dog treats or snacks. Even with the can and mixing dry food I've only been feeding her the amount of them together that it says she should weigh for, younknow the 16 pounds. I repeat I'm not the one that made her fat and my dogs are a healthy weight. My concern is finding a good middle ground prices food for sensitive tummy and a senior dog. I haven't been feeding her weight management. I'm just literally overwhelmed with all the he many types of food that I "could" feed her and what would be the easiest on her. My dogs have eaten Iams for years and they both just get the proper amount each day and are healthy. I've never had an overweight dog so it's different for me. She is eating the recommended amount and we are walking as exercise everyday. I have only had her four days. I know it will take lots of work I just want to make sure what I feed her either 1) doesn't make it worse and 2) doesn't hurt her sensitive stomach or is hard to digest because of her needs due to age. Believe me I know how to say no, even though she waddled around following me for treats and extra. I'm not that nice, not when the poor. Any can hardly walk. I don't give in easily, 'attest of fact between my girlfriend and I I'm the one that trains them ect. She is too soft and does want to give too many treats ect when she is here:
Can you buy any sort of green beans in a can that aren't full of salt or other stuff? I need things I can microwave as I don't cook at all.
