We have a little miniature fox terrier that is so addicted to killing vermin that she only eats those lamb meal biscuits you get at Costco for fear of missing a second of the action. She's a little chunky but she's so high strung she seems to be burning it off. But she won't stick around inside to eat any dog food. She's like a human, all drive-thru and git'er done. The biscuits are nutritious, but it just seems weird to us.

Keep giving her all those treats and you will find out she will have health problems down the road.
You are letting her be the alpha in the family. You should be!! When she is hungry enough, she will eat her chow. No more treats until she starts eating her chow!!
You wouldn't let a child eat only candy, would you?
If she is not eating her chow, try a different brand. You want a good brand like Science diet. Something that doesn't have all those fillers in it. The fillers that some of these dog chow brands have are not good for your pets.

Im not 100% sure but i think dogs can eat either a biscuit diet or a wet food diet or a combination of both.My dogs have a combination of both not that they notice the difference it just makes me feel like they are getting a good meal.

Yes it is. Biscuits do not give the dog the nutrition it needs. Dog food gives it the blood, iron, calcium, and health it needs. Sure biscuits are ok accationally but not good for meals only.

I think dog biscuits are for "treats" only.. just as if you were to go and eat say... granola bars only. Have you tried the lamb and rice dog foods? Or how about giving her the kibble as her "treat". I would consult a vet.

She's probably just fine. The biscuits are made of approximately the same stuff as dog food - just in a different shape.

I would certainly think so. I would recommend trying to get her on a good premium diet and give the biscuits as treats only. Good Luck.

she should eat dog food on a daily bases cuz dog biscuits dont have all of the nutrits that their food have and just dont give your dog the biscuits as much they should only have a few a day if you are going to give them to your dog on daily bases

No, it's not healthy. At all. Its not healthy for a human to eat cookies as their only meal, either. Why can't she eat the kibble? Its really rich so most dogs love it! And its nutritionally complete so your dog wont get deseases or defincies that can lead to death (but doesn't everything) later in life!

Not a good idea to let her continue eating just dog biscuits. She might need to be on a prescription dogfood. Talk to your vet.
