Dogs and their eating habits ... Our latest model, Bella, seems to follow in my footsteps. Food is always in her bowl but she doesn’t develop an appetite until mid afternoon. Then she makes up for the missed breakfast / lunch. She’s also into my midnight snack habit. Probably not the best thing.

Since I am on the Bella subject ... She is adjusting very well and doing 10 times better than we had anticipated given her rather unfortunate past. Still a little skittish with new people and dogs but every day it’s getting a little better. A “socialization” project making great progress.

A more likely explanation is that microwaving it brings out the scents that makes it more appetizing to the dog. I have a similar issue with Mika. Turns out that she hates the costco turkey kibbles that I bought. Unfortunately, that is a big bag and I don't want it to go to waste. I've found that if I mix a bit of peanut butter, Cesar's soft food, or even just pouring a bit of meat juice or something with a smell that she likes, she will gobble it all up.

I am going to try microwaving and see how that will work.
