I've always known "dog gravy" to be just water mixed with kibble to wet the food and make it more appetizing. Some people will mix a bit of canned food (same brand as the kibble) with it to make it more appetizing.
I'm not into picky eaters. You eat what I have or you don't eat is the motto I raised my children on and also my dog. Lillian is picky about treats, meaning if you give her a treat I'm 99.9% sure she won't eat it, she's just not that into food more so than being picky. But when we changed her kibble we just switched it and left it out and waited till it was gone then filled up her bowl again. Now she's on a feeding schedule because she's used to the food.
For senior dogs or dogs with disabilities (who need softer food or something) I can understand. But on a personal level for me, my children and dogs eat what I serve and that's that. I'm not a short order cook. Haha! It's worked and I've got well fed non picky eaters in this house. Now I make sure I'm a good cook and serving good food though. We eat organic home cooked meals and the dog eats Orijen so I KNOW it taste good and is healthy so I have to just be like here you go this is the food, eat it, or leave it.
