Solutions For Supplementing Your Finicky Pet
By Dr. Lisa S. Newman, N.D., Ph.D.
§ Start with a small amount and slowly increase to avoid surprising their delicate palates.
§ Take one day off and try again after they strenuously refused or had a bad food experience.
§ Pretend it is a treat. Do not make a face or say you are sorry to have to supplement them.
