Quote:If he needs wet food, the vet is supposed to prescribe cans instead of kibbles. My vet said if you put water on dry food it becomes mushy and the pet won't eat it.

 

A dog will learn to eat what you feed them if you train them right.

 

Quote:Getting more water is the goal. Mushy just makes it unappealing. That comes from a vet, not me.

 

Any animal will eat (almost) anything you feed them. If the vet says you HAVE to buy food from him, you should probably question his intent. Unless the food includes medication, you can get virtually anything else from other places usually for cheaper.

 

The goal, by the way, is for the food to be mushy. It's not the water that he needs, it's the soft food. Water just serves the purpose.

 

Quote:I hope he is doing the right thing for his dog. It is just not something I would consider doing for my cat.

 

I'm not asking you to consider it. You really shouldn't questions my motives if you don't know why the dog needs it to begin with. 

 

This is the only way he eats without getting sick. A vet helped come up with the idea.
