Totally agree with this. I doubt she has much of an appetite so it won`t hurt to treat her a bit.

Iam not sure what you can do due to your dogs heart disease but what I've done in the past is give cookie a nice long exercise to build up her hunger and then mixed her dry dog food with bits of chicken rice and bisto gravey. I then put less and less gravy and chicken and started adding back the regular wet food I still some times give her extra gravy tho

Vet has advised against too much activity due to her heart condition, and she can't go out at all walking when the sun is hot. Short stroll to the end of the road and back morning and evening is all that she can manage now.

I am now going to use potato, chicken, pasta, mince and veg for her meals, all home prepared, at least I know she will eat this.

Quick update - thought I had a break through when I gave her a sample pack of Burns chicken and brown rice wet food yesterday, she wolfed it down. Today though she wasn't so keen, so back to the home prepared again I suppose.
