    • Better question is why would you want to feed your dog cheap dog food? If you can't afford quality dog food how are you going to afford the vet bills when this dog ends up ill due to the crappy nutrition you're providing him?

    • There are plenty of healthy things you can mix into dry dog food. Olive oil or a raw egg is really good for their coat. The fats in them make them shiny. Also, a couple spoonfulls of cottage cheese is good for them. My basset hound will not eat dry food unless there is cottage cheese in it!Leftovers are always good, provided they are healthy. Bits of grilled chicken or steak are always yummy in there. My basset also likes a little dog food mixed with honey for dessert! Just be carefull not to give too many sweets.

    • Iams makes Dog Gravy they call Savory Sauces, they have a lot of different flavors and they are specifically for dogs. they will also add some of the vitamins your dog food will most likely not include. I agree with everyone else that using a better quality food is better.

    • Go buy some better dog food instead of killing your dog. Tastes better to them and IS better for them.or put some anti freeze in it....so your dog doesn't have to suffer as long....plus its proven than anti freeze tastes good to animals.

    • Don't buy cheap dog food. You end up feeding the dog more of it than you would of the quality stuff - read the bag - the serving size is much bigger for cheap food. In the long run you're not saving any money and your dog is pooping a lot more so you make more work for yourself. Also, the cheap stuff has all kinds of things in it that you don't really even want to think about. If you knew what was in there, you'd never make your dog eat it.That said, in the dog food aisle of the store there's gravy-like stuff that you can put on the food to make the dog like it better. If that doesn't work, try adding some people food to it. Mix it up well or the dog will pick out the good stuff and leave the crummy dog kibble in his bowl.Next time go for the good stuff. There's brain tissue and all kinds of evil things in cheapo dog food.

    • Totally agree with most people suggest to get a better dog food for your beloved furkid!But if you feel like wasting the "cheap" dog food you already got, what i would do is to buy HIGH quality wet food to mix it with your dry food - they will love it! Its a good way to provide the missing nutrition from the low quality food as well.

    • First, don't buy the cheap dog food. Get high-quality dog food. Your dog will like it better and it will be much healthier for him.It may seem like the initial cost of the better food is more expensive, but it really isn't in the long run. Right now, you're feeding your dog fillers. Your dog eats more to try to get the nutrition it needs, and most of the food just passes right on through. By feeding better food, your dog will eat less (and poop less, so less cleanup for you!). Also, it will make your animals healthier, so you save money on vet bills in the long run.---On choosing a good dog food:Read the ingredients on the food you buy. Go with a high quality dog food. A grain should not be in the first couple ingredients ingredient (corn and such are mainly fillers, dogs don't digest it well). Avoid foods that have a lot of "by products" listed.Here is an article about byproducts:http://www.dogfoodproject.com/index.php?page=ingrdAnd an article on what ingredients to avoid:http://www.dogfoodproject.com/index.php?page=badingredients---Some GOOD foods are :* Merrick - http://www.merrickpetcare.com/* Solid Gold - http://www.solidgoldhealth.com/* Canidae - http://www.canidae.com/* Timberwolf - http://timberwolforganics.com/* Orijen - http://www.championpetfoods.com/orijen/orijen/* Wellness - http://www.omhpet.com/wellness/* Chicken Soup brand - http://www.chickensoupforthepetloverssoul.com/* Innova - http://www.naturapet.com/brands/innova.asp* Innova EVO - http://www.naturapet.com/brands/evo.aspOr check this website for good foods: http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/dog_food_reviews/(I recommend only feeding foods rated 4, 5, or 6 stars. Anything 3 stars or less, I would stay away from.)---Stay away from grocery stores brands. They are low-quality foods chalk full of fillers, preservatives, dyes, etc.. (Grocery store foods are those like Beneful, Old Roy, Alpo, Pedigree, Purina, etc.)Beware "premium" foods. "Premium" does not mean good nutritionally, and is not a nutritionally high quality food. It has the same types of ingredients as grocery store foods, just a bit better quality of those not-so-good ingredients. (Premium foods are those like Iams, Eukanuba, Science Diet, etc..)Another thing to be wary of: A lot of vets will recommend what they sell in their office. They get profit from the brands they keep on their shelves, that's why they push it. Truth is, vet schools don't focus a lot on nutrition. It's not saying that a vet is a bad vet because he recommends those foods, a lot of vets just are told "this is good food", so they pass the message along without proper nutrition knowledge. Also, some dog food brands (like Hills) support vet schools, so vets have heard of it from the time they start college, which makes them think it's good as well.---When switching foods, do it gradually. I do this over about a two week timespan:25% food A, 75% food B50% food A, 50% food B75% food A, 25% food B100% food A
