My dog is skinny and won't eat. How can I help him gain weight?
I personally don't feel Caesar is one of the best supermarket brands of food. I would try him on Purina One, which is the best of the supermarket brands in my opinion. Best sure to do the switch slowly to avoid GI upset. I hope this helps!

My picky dog only eats Cesar. How do I get her to eat healthier food?
Hi, thank you for using PetCoach. I would work on weaning Cherokee off of the Cesars as soon as you can. That food is very high in fat and not a very healthy food. You don't say how old she is now. If under a year, I would suggest a puppy or growth formula. If adult, feed an adult maintenance food. Purina ProPlan, Science Diet or Iams are all very good brands. Start slowly transitioning her by mixing 75% current food and 25% new diet and switch very slowly to the new food over the course of several weeks. If she is otherwise healthy, a healthy dog is not going to starve themselves to death. But in the long run she will be much healthier on a high quality dog food. Do not give people food or table food at all either. A mix of canned and dry is fine, but it needs to be a good quality food. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=2471 Good luck.

Is Canidae limited ingredient good for a Cavalier's sensitive stomach?
Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Many spaniels have sensitive stomachs as well as skin in my experience. If Chloe is doing well on the food, with no diarrhea or upset stomach, I personally do not have a problem with it. I like a food that is within the ratios of protein to fat as you have said-with the caveat of patients that deal with things like irritable bowel or chronic pancreatitis, in which I make the fat as low as possible while still being a healthy food source for our canine companions. While you have said you aren't a fan of many commercial diets-there are types that cater specifically to sensitive stomach and food allergies from many of our large brands-and if you don't like these there are comparable brands as well that you can find at your local Petco. If Chloe is having active issues with this particular food, please let us know and we can suggest a comparable diet. I find that probiotics often work well for my sensitive GI patients as well. Fortiflora is commercially available and has a high palatability when tested. I hope this helps!

Is Caesar wet dog food healthy to mix with high-quality kibble?
Hi Ashlyn, Thanks for posting. Caesar is not the greatest quality dog food in the world I have to admit. You are correct. Caesars does not contain a lot of whole ingredients and is very processed. The wet food is also not the best for the teeth. Pure Vita or Orijen would be much better options, yes. And I agree, it doesn't make any sense to mix in a top shelf food like Orijen with a low quality food like Caesar. It would be like having a filet mignon alongside a McDonalds hamburger. I hope this helps! Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

Is it okay to feed my dog food with many ingredients like Orijen?
Limited ingredients diets are recommended for dogs that have or may have food allergies or sensitivities. Some pet parents choose to feed limited ingredient diets to their dogs to avoid preservatives and fillers.
