Yesterday, I was accidentally brilliant. I’ll take it.
I have been worrying about how fast Jetta eats because, even though no one really knows what causes it, fast eating is on the list of possible causes of bloat. I’ve messed with her feeder height. I’ve looked at a slow-down dish – you know, with the bump in the middle – but it wouldn’t fit in her feeder. I’ve threatened just to put big rocks in there, but we don’t really have those in the yard. Well, yesterday I solved this problem.
Dehydrated sweet potato, carrot, green bean
Dehydrated veggies.
That’s right! This Great Dane LOVES her veggies, I mean, drools for them. So I made her a batch of dehydrated doggie snacks. Not a fancy batch, just veggies with a bit of nutritional yeast sprinkled on them: sliced sweet potato, carrots, and green beans. They were a hit, although she thought the green bean a tad odd at first because it was chewy. I decided to put a handful in with her dinner (kibble) and – LO and BEHOLD – it took her 3x as long to eat it. The odd shapes and bit of chewiness slowed her down.
Happy mom. Happy Jetta!
She will have those veggies. Oh, she will.
