    Here are a few “tried & true” ways to get compliance from a dog or cat that is a picky eater and may not initially like the change added to their food: 

    1. Start with 25% of the recommended amount, based on the weight of your cat or dog for a couple of days added to their food. Gradually increase amount of supplement over 1-2 weeks to get them used to the “now” familiar taste. 
    2. Another way to achieve compliance and be healthy is to add Sardines “packed in water with NO-salt added”.  This will also give your pet a great boost of Omega 3’s.
    3. Raw meat that is good quality, or if you prefer, lightly cooked, or canned Ziwi Peaks, dog or cat food that gives them ideal nutrition overall. You can also use a small amount of water added to absorb the supplement.
