I do feed them a lb.of hot dogs a day plus dog food.I have tried to feed them the best but they wont eat it.They love Old Roy the cheap stuff.

Can I level with you? If you work the "best" in with the Old Roy, gradually increasing the amoung of the good stuff, they'll eventually be converted to it.

Old Roy is made up of chicken beaks, snouts, and whatever's left of some of these animals, plus some filler and artificial colors and flavor. It's junk. It really is.

IAMS, Science Diet, Pro Plan, even Purina One is better than Old Roy. I've never run across a dog that didn't like Purina One.

Get rid of the hot dogs. Hot dogs don't contain the vitamins dogs need and are likely the reason they won't eat the "good stuff." If your dogs are fat, hot dogs are the reason.

Again, sorry if I was blunt, but my dogs are so much healthier since I switched them to Pro Plan; their coats are prettier and they don't go to the vet but once a year for their check-ups.

I had been giving the hot dogs as a supplement because I know that old roy was junk.I can assure you I tried every trick in the book,not counting burning a hole in my wallet because they refused to eat it.Kibbles and bits,Iams,you name it until i gave in.I tried the trick you mentioned but they left the good stuff and ate the junk!We can buy hot dogs on sale 3 for a dollar,which was cheaper than dog treats!I am going to give it another try though as per your advice.She will be at the vet tomorrow for sure.What would be good for her in the interim?I had my wife pick up some canned cat food,and,canned dog food.Will that hurt her?
