In June we were introduced to #MixedFeeding our dogs and tried it out for the last few weeks thanks to some fantastic products from Pedigree!
It wasn't difficult to introduce them as they sometimes have canned food as a treat, they seemed to look forward to "wet food day". The only protester we had was our Sofi. For some reason she wouldn't eat the wet food at first, even mixed with dry unless we hand fed her. I'm not sure she understood it was her new dinner at first!
Of course we had no problem with the other three - Sasha, Ruffy and big Daizy - adapting to their new diet. They enjoyed every bit of it every time.

After several weeks of #MixedFeeding we have good results to report. All of the dogs have been loving this new doggy menu.
- When mixing wet and dry, the dogs will now eat both instead of just eating the wet and leaving behind the dry.
- We have also noticed healthy weight gain (Sasha was always on the smaller side), boosted energy and less fur shedding in the past month with Pedigree compared to other brands or strictly dry food feeding. This could be because of the extra nutrients they get from both types of food mixed.
Overall #mixedfeeding has been an enjoyable experience and I think we will be continuing on this track for our dogs! What makes our dogs happy, makes us happy!
Did you know #MixedFeeding is good for both dogs and cats? It can help keep them hydrated through the hotter summer months! Great tip to know! :)

ReplyDeleteyes we do this with our dog and cat
ReplyDeleteNo, but I would like to try
ReplyDeleteMy cats do get wet food every night but I do not mix it with their kibble. I tried that and they wouldn't eat it, so a lot of food was going to waste. They love their dry kibble, and they look forward to their bowl of wet food each night after the kids go to bed though.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried mixed feeding, but it sounds like a great way to know that my cat is getting enough moisture in her diet...
ReplyDeleteI have not tried it yet but like the idea of a healthy weight gain and less fur shed!!
ReplyDeleteOur puss gets both foods most days but I have not tried mixing the two together
ReplyDeleteI have been #MixedFeeding for as long as I can remember, our dogs always got dry and wet food
ReplyDeleteI have been #MixedFeeding my dog for a few years. Not on a regular basis but we do purchase canned food for her as a treat. She loves it!!
ReplyDeleteWe tried mixed but our cats won't eat what we put down. They like their dry kibble and wet food separate. We also have strays that we feed(we call them our outdoor pets)that do like a mixed feeding.
ReplyDeleteYes, we have always been #mixedfeeding our cat and dogs
