Cheese. Lol. In terms of pet food the most important thing (I have always been told and experienced) Is to get them a high-quality kibble and ensure they are drinking enough fluids. Doggy-safe bone broth is good for getting extra liquid into pups who might be thirsty and/or are older and have a hard time eating wet food. Other than that make sure their bowls are clean or they (And you) will not like the consequences.

We were advised by our vet that a combination of dry food and good quality canned food is a well balanced diet. there are some foods that dogs (and in some cats too) should not have at all. If in doubt ask your vet, a good pet shop or check on google. The list that is on it is exactly the same as we given by our Vet.

my baby love red meat like mince and rice for her tea and in the morning she has weetbix i cook vegetables also for her i like to make sure she eat healthy

rice is often recommended by a vet for a dog that has to have a very bland diet or one that has the "runs" Apparently there can be something that dogs need that they don't get enough of in home cooked food and there is a preparation you have to buy to add to it. A girl I worked with was told that by the vet.

I have a dog with sensitivities- diet and environmental unfortunately. He’s a rescue dog, 7 years old now and for the last 2 years he’s had to have only Royal Canin Hypoallergenic wet and dry food. It is expensive but he likes it and more importantly he can eat it without issue’s so he’s a healthier and happier boy now. He used to have only raw pet minces and fresh steamed mixed veggies and little home cooked rice. But he needed his dew claws fixed (for the third time :( because he’s dopey and a total klutz) and after the general anesthesia he woke up unable to tolerate his rice or chicken mince, he progressively could tolerate less and less variety of raw foods even with a probiotic digestive supplements! So he lost a lot of weight and conditioning in a short few months until I changed him to the royal canin. He was instantly more energetic and happy and has now regained all his muscle and has less skin flare ups too!

I wish I could say Toby has a favourite food. He is the fussiest eater out. 5 year old Cavoodle, need I say more. Currently feeding him Big Dog frozen patties which is what he came home with initially. Likes it for a while then goes off it. He is raw fed but I believe the poodle in him explains the fussiness. He looks just like the background picture. I alternate between human grades of meat and veg but if I had to choose his favourite, it would be turkey mince.

I personally don't eat pet food.
Did you mean 'what is your pets favourite food'?

Fancy Feast for my spoiled feline ;)

Hills Diet for older cats: my cat is now deceased but just couldn't get enough of these pellets, produced especially for older felines. The pellets are smaller than the usual Hills Science Diet ones also and easier for them to chew. I simply left a small bowl for her throughout the day to eat as she wished and she was very healthy. Don't know if the product is still around, but it was/is EXCELLENT.

Bbq chicken!The excitement starts when I come home from the supermarket and they can smell it! They run around in circles and get a little taste and then get it for dinner.Happy dogs!

My dog will eat anything I give him, he is an excellent eater- he enjoys his dinner as he gets both wet and dry food, whereas he only gets dry food for brekkie. He does love his treats, especially those peanut butter flavoured strips, and schmakos. My 15yo cat is now starting to become a bit more finicky, so I try to change the wet food varieties to see what she likes more.

Your cat may starting to have problems chewing and / or swallowing dry food and some types of wet food. They are also a bit like us they like a variation of flavour. We found bought turkey made both our cat and dog sick.

We have five kitties who have different dietary needs. Felix can have any type of wet food, but has to have Royal Canin Sensitivity kibble. Heathrow, TC and Chloe are fed a combination of Felix, Applaws, Royal Canon wet food and Gatwick is fed any wet food. Dry food for our Gatwick is Science Diet Lite or Weight Reduction.
Chloe is very fussy but will eat Felix

My fussy feline, Mittens, likes variety and loves any wet foods with jelly. She loves Felix, Fancy Feast and Dine. I like to change things up with dry foods and focus on products that care for her teeth and gums because she is 12 years old. Fussy Cat fresh mince is another favourite of hers and of course, she often has some proteins of what we have too. She is spoiled rotten but deserves it!

Hills Science Diet used to have an excellent product - bag of pellets made especially for older cats. My cat couldn't get enough of them. They were nutritional and smaller in size than the usual pellets, making it easier for her to break and chew them. Don't know if they're still around but I highly recommend!

I only feed my darling Honey food that is suitable for humans to eat too. I refuse to expose her to the many dangers inherent with so called pet food. She eats raw minced steak, enjoys eating bones and chicken necks and is very healthy.

Speaking for my cat, she will only eat Fancy Feast dry food - either flavour. I have to make sure she is drinking lots of water. The only wet food she will eat is Science Dirt. She doesn’t even like chicken, fish or meat. Cooked or raw.
Very discerning.
