Dinner time at our house was starting to get really frustrating. I'd serve the food, and it would go uneaten. Then less than an hour later, they started asking for snacks. I'd tell them to eat their dinner, and the whining would start.
You might think that I'm talking about my 5 year old twin boys. But no. The source of my dinner time drama was my first set of "twins": my two dogs. Fortunately I've found a remedy for their picky eating and all it took was making a little space in the refrigerator for a new dog food.
Finding Dog Food for Picky Eaters
My two dogs have never been totally crazy about any kind of kibble, but in the past year or so they've become downright picky.
It might have been because they are getting older - they both turned 9 this summer. Dogs are notorious for getting finicky as they age.
But I think the culprit could also be the fact that they have gotten used to cleaning up food that my kids have dropped. Living with twins who are learning to eat means that food has basically been raining down from our table for the past few years.
But now the boys are older, and have learned not to feed the dogs from the table, so the dogs are back to a regular diet. And they've decided that their meals were just not that interesting anymore.
My sweet guys deserve to have food that they love, plus we all deserve stress free mealtimes. So I decided to try something new. And they aren't just eating their meals now, they are begging for more!
Real Pet Food, Fresh from the Fridge
So what's the secret? For us, it's Freshpet. Freshpet is like no other food my dogs have had before. And they love it.
Freshpet is real pet food, fresh from the fridge. This isn't the dry kibble that your dogs have had for years. Freshpet is as close to homemade as you can get without having to slave in the kitchen for your dogs. There are no pre-processed meat powders, "chicken meals," or by-products. Just real US meat as the #1 ingredient and real vegetables you can actually see.
Freshpet uses real, fresh ingredients that are slowly steam cooked to maintain nutrition and taste. Seriously, this stuff looks kind of amazing. You can find it in a convenient roll with pre-marked servings that you simply slice, cut up (if desired) and serve. Or in a fresh from the kitchen bag that you can scoop. My dogs are fans of both!
Your dog can taste (and smell) the fresh difference in this food. We cleared out a special drawer in our refrigerator for our Freshpet meals and treats (they have treats too and they are just as beg-worthy as the food) and Griffey comes running as soon as it opens. This definitely never happened with his boring old food.
We love to eat outside on our deck whenever the weather allows. And since the dogs aren't begging at the table anymore, they can join us too! Mealtimes are better for all of us since we've found Freshpet.
