Can this be used with dry dog food for a couple of days?

I would think that dog food would be too coarse and would clog the spreader mechanism.

If it's not too big of chunks it should be ok. I have put laying pellets in mine and that works.

Good shelf life. Once opened, keep refrigerated and use up the contents within 3 days for freshest meal. Otherwise, store in a plastic baggie and freeze it short term. My dog took to this dog food (I mix 2tblspns with drymix) very well. Bowel movements are good/firm-normal.

I've not tried that. I normally put about 1 teaspoon of food on the dry then put the capsule in the moist food. She eats capsule along with her food.

You could for a few days but not for long periods of time, I just mixed half of it and stored the rest dry.

I was instructed to do that with any dry food when my dog was a puppy, specially because he has a tendency to not drink a lot of water, so that was a good way of keeping him from dehydration. My dog is 3 years old but I still keep doing that. What I do is add boiled water to the dry food (not only this Merrick one but all other brands that I use), then I wait until it cools down and serve it to my dog. He loves his food like that!

I wouldn't put dog food inside it because it is open under the bowls and water could leak down and contaminate the food. I keep treats and things in it that are in waterproof containers.

I would not. It's best to put with your pet's food because it is flake consistency. I sprinkle it over my dogs dry food. If your pet is picky or a free feeder try mixing it in a small amount of wet food and giving it as a treat. Hope this helps.

I don't work for Purina...so this is my opinion only. I guess I would put it in the fridge if I wasn't going to use it later on that day.

We've only used it for dry food. I truly don't know for certain if it would work with wet or mixed food.

I don't know, never tried that. We just sprinkle it on their dog food. Might try asking the manufacturer.

Yes. Each week I place raw chicken strips in the pet treat maker, turn it on, and within 6-7 hours, it's ready. I have never cooked mine before drying and my dogs have been eating the treats for several years.

Hi Fran..I do not see why not, I just put it in my dogs food and it seems to really help. Solid Gold is an excellent brand.

You can divide it in small portions and freeze it. I do that for my small doxie.

I believe so. I just used it for two weeks and still had more than half the food left. It would depend, of course, on how much you feed and how often. I fed the most that can be fed, once per day. The amount of food can be adjusted and you can feed up to four times a day.

Yes. My husband's doing that right now. Both morning and evening feedings, he mixes the glucosamine with the dry food and adds a little chicken broth or something for flavor. Hope this helps. If not, let me know. We are very pleased with the way our geriatric dog has responded.

Sorry, I looked all over the can carefully and could not find that info. If I remember right, pet food products are not required to furnish that info. We have a very large standard poodle who has bloat problems so we only feed him grain free food....dry and canned mixed together. We have been using it for several years and have had no problems.
