Answer :

I would definately keep them, no question. A little rice, chicken (or salmon, or cooked burger, steak, etc..) and veggies and they’re good, it’s not that hard, just prepare a little on the side for them when you cook your dinner, with less or no spices. My dogs love cooked salmon and it’s really good for their coats. They each get a cup of food in morning and evening and are ‘supplemented’ with wholesome food.
