    Adding cereal to dog food

    I'll be watching a dog Friday night and he is fed 1c of dry dog food twice a day with 1/2 c of (human) dry fiber cereal mixed in. I think they use a Kashi-type cereal. His owner said she adds it for the fiber... Anybody do this??

     Ummm... no? LOL I wouldn't add half as much of anything, especially grain. What about some canned pumpkin or some yummy veggie mush? It'll have the added benefit of antioxidants, WITH the fiber, no sweeteners, etc.

    That's what we use (pumpkin), but she said "fiber cereal works MUCH better".... but I never heard of using it before!

    I've seen it before, yeppers, LOL. And I had the same WTF reaction.

    My aunt gives her dogs All Bran to help with anal gland issues.  She swears by it.

    I've heard of this before too-a while back someone on here was doing it and mentioned it to me. 

    I use about 1/4 teas of original Metamucil for fiber for Willow (vet suggested).  I don't give it to her every day though, maybe every other or every third day.
