lol my dog can pick carrots out of anything, they're about the only thing she won't eat, even if my mum mashes them up completely into food she still finds them :P

My dog was always a fussy eater so she tends to be fed on a mix of human food and pouches, she just wouldn't eat when she was a baby, we probably never tried hard enough but it was a long time ago and there was less of a thing about what to feed dogs.

I've never realliy agreed with feeding dried food though (i take it this is kibble?) All my friends dogs eat it because they were told it was best and everyone i know seems to think it's healthiest but to me it always seemed a bit like a human who ate all vitamins or all balanced frozen meals or something, getting everything they need technically, but it's no where near as good as fresh food.

My dogs always ate a lot of human food, which means lots of meat fruit and veg and she's was always the healthiest out of any of my friends dogs (till now when she's old), the only one who's not overweight, overly clingy or hyper. The only problem she had was bad skin and a bad heart which is very common to her breed and she was born with the heart thing.
