I doubt your dog is getting everything he needs from hot dogs. If my guy won't eat what he usually does I sometimes grind a bit of liver treat to start him on the dish which he ends up realizing isn't so bad. My vet said I should not force him if he skips a meal (I feed twice a day). Like us sometimes there not hungry. Personally I never feed dog food but make a homemade diet of sweet potatoes and 75% meat either chicken or beef. He also gets a bit of fish oil in there and supplements. Because I do not feed dog food I need to be mindful of other needs he has, which are fulfiled by his supplements. I have had lots of trouble getting his blood work right. Finally its normal and I attribute it to the good diet and supplements. I add Nature's Logic food fortifier (a little goes a long way given the size of these guys) and Nature's Logic Salmon oil (must be refrigerated).
Good luck and save the wieners for the baseball game! LOL best wishes michelle and henry in the beautiful Catskill Mountains, NY ________________________________________________________________________ Email and AIM finally together. You've gotta check out free AOL Mail! - http://mail.aol.com
