Title: Baby Food!
Post by: Jay06 on January 29, 2007, 10:17:35 AM

Ok...strange question.

I was told that baby food was good for puppies (obviously not all the time - as a 'treat')
Sometimes - usually 2/3 times a week I'll give Bailey a tin of warmed baby food with his usual AG.

I was just wondering if this is ok, because he really seems to love it?  ;)

I don't see that it would be harnful but I wouldn't encourage it. It runs the risk of creating a fussy eater whereby in the future he may refuse to eat his proper food preferring other goodies ;) A very occassional treat is OK - but I wouldn't make it a regular thing at all.

when my previous very elderly dog was ill I thought about giving her baby food. I was advised against this as they may have onion in
