Hi...I've been reading that thread: http://leerburg.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=200870
and was wondering if some of you had any other tip to feed the kelp/alfalfa powder. My dogs seem to dislike almost anything that has been near that (except peanut butter and cheez whiz).
I will try the eggs in two days, but in the meantime, any other stuff to mix with?

Mike, do you feed a blended veggie mix? Also referred to as "glop" by some forum members  . Zucchini, beet greens, parsley, peppers, etc. can be ground up in a food processor to make a green mush - some people add a tablespoon or so of this to their dog's meals. If you do as well, or want to, it's really easy to blend the kelp and alfalfa powder right into the processor with the moist veggies - the dogs will never know it's in there (it's a pretty natural place to camouflage green stuff  ). You'll have to sort of guestimate how many servings you'll get out of each batch of glop and add the powder in a lump sum, accordingly, but it'll all even out in the end.
Good luck!

the glop is also a quest on it's own to make them eat..somehow im more successful with the animal stuff than vegetal  Although the book i was reading about the glop was recommending putting apple cider vinegar in it, and i suspect they are not keen on that odor. do you put that suff in it?
ill give a shot to the ground hamburger...

I don't, but some do. I guess I'm lucky, I've never had Oscar turn his nose up at what ends up in his food bowl!
You might also try mixing the powder with the salmon oil you're adding - that stuff has it's OWN unique (and strong) oder that might mask some of the veggie smell with delicious fishiness...

I mix the kelp/alfalfa powder in yogurt or kefir. We call it "grass soup" and it's the nightly bedtime snack. It smells like the underside of a lawnmower. Which is just stinky enough that my dogs lap it up.

Hmmm, I'm picturing how you knew that.

Another option would be to feed Honest Kitchen.
Most dogs adore Honest Kitchen, and it can be mixed to any consistancy your dog prefers (runny, or very thick). It's like oatmeal that way.
FORCE:
Hormone-free chicken, organic flaxseed, potatoes, celery, sweet potatoes, apples, alfalfa, organic kelp, honey, zucchini, green beans, cabbage, bananas, papayas, yogurt, basil, garlic and rosemary.
PREFERENCE:
Alfalfa, sweet potatoes, cabbage, celery, apples, spinach, organic kelp, coconut, bananas, zucchini, and honey.
KEEN:
Hormone-free Turkey, Organic Oats, Potatoes, Organic Flax, Carrots, Cabbage, Alfalfa, Organic Kelp, Apples, Honey and Garlic.

My boy loves the Honest Kitchen products. I only give it to him occasionally though since it is so darned expensive.
