Michael, when my dog Sampson was needing special food to make him eat (and
this was 1999) the vet told me lightly cooked ground beef (drained of most
but not all fat) combined with a rice and a soft vegetable mix would entice
him to eat. No added spices; definitely not onion or garlic!! She
suggested vegetables like canned no salt Veg-All. And he had very brittle
teeth at age 17 so the food was soft. Google apparently doesn't retain
posts from that far back. I got some good suggestions back then.
