She’s not usually stubborn and picky, but you can’t really blame your Jack Russell when she turns up her nose at the unappetizing food you’ve just dumped in her bowl. In fact, as you were scooping it, you were yourself reminded of that mystery meat slab from your school cafeteria… that you never, ever ate. Does dog food have to look and smell like that?
Of course it doesn’t. Imagine how different the experience—for both of you—when you open and serve something like Cesar rib-eye steak flavor dog food or Cesar beef tenderloin flavor dog food. No stinky mystery slab there. These kinds of gourmet dog food, specially formulated for small dogs, not only smell like you think food ought to smell, but the chunks in gravy look as appetizing as they are nutritious. Since she can’t read the package, only you know that yummy gravy also includes vegetable fiber and added vitamins to keep her digestive tract, skin and coat healthy. The single-serving packets that most gourmet dog food companies use for packaging also mean that every meal’s serving is fresh, not dried out or gummy from sitting in the refrigerator.
Once your dog has been introduced to the world of gourmet cuisine, of course, there may be no going back to tasteless kibble or mystery meat in a can. Yet dogs’ nutritional needs do change as they age, particularly in terms of caloric intake. A dog’s metabolism slows down with age, and gaining too much weight can lead to myriad health complications. Older dogs’ digestive tracts can also become more sensitive. Fortunately, gourmet senior dog food is also available, allowing you to continue with favorite tastes such as chicken with rice, while knowing your senior citizen best friend is getting food formulated to meet his or her needs.
Serving senior dog food that is nutritious doesn’t have to mean that you (and she) have to hold your noses and look away. The meat in it—the food that dogs naturally love—can be recognizable and appealing so that she loves it, and you don’t have to feel bad (literally and physically) about giving it to her.
