Question

Serious Answers Only Please!!!

Answer 1

Sure it can be warmed up. How long before you dump? If you put it down at night and it's still there in the morning toss it. I feed my dog around 8:00 p.m. and sometimes he doesn't eat until 3:00 a.m. - hasn't killed him yet.

Answer 2

Canned food for dogs is 100% ****. I would never feed a dog anything that came from a can.
Please, feed your puppy a quality, preservative-free dry puppy biscuit. Add some mincemeat or offal - offal is far more nutritious than meat - and two or three times a week add some vegemite, some olive oil, some raw garlic and a raw egg. Add some hot water to turn it into a warm mush that is ten times healthier and more appropriate than some canned crap.

Answer 3

Good grief - are people still using that gunk?
Do your puppy a favor.

Go to a good pet shop and buy some dried puppy biscuits.
They have all the goodness your pet will need and it doesn't smell or attract flies.

The tinned stuff is mainly cereals - no good to the dog at all. Fills them up but no goodness in it.

i have a chow that is real weird about her food after trying everthing in the store and everthing the vet had as well we came up with one dog food she will eat. we leave dry food out all the time and feed her can food once a day we leave it out 24 hrs and then try again. we have had her 6 yrs and it has not hurt her yet. but if your dog is not eating the can food try something other kinds the dog may not like that brand. that what happen to us.

warming it up wont hurt.... but why even go through all that trouble... dogs love wet food period.... besides dont get them used to something you may not want to do all the time.... Just give it to them just like it is!!!
