Sometimes my dog has gravy, no more than once a week though when we have a roast! Never been told not too. We have some of those spray samples. The beef smells of beef and onion crisps!!! I sprayed some into the cap to smell it and got some on my hand...even after washing my hand the cat we had in was licking me!!! I've tested the sprays on Jacks food when he got a bit fussy with his biscuit and it's got him eating again.

A sprinkling of good quality catnip eg Cosmic Catnip from the Co of Animals, on some cats food sometimes helps.

I'm not sure there would be enough onion in gravy granules to cause too many problems, when only being given a little for a short period of time. The salt content would be high though - but again, high enough to cause trouble as a one off? Sometimes with anorexic animals you will try anything to stimulate their appetite. What do other people use? I read somewhere that brewers yeast sprinkled over food was good, but I've never put it to the test. Good old sardines in tomato sauce is a favourite with us (always makes me hungry too!)

what else has everybody tried?

pedigree milky bones are ok - but did break a tooth on them

pet tabs are nice

oxbow recovery for rabbits is fantastic - I used to make post op packs out of the big tubs and there was always this little bit left in the bottom. Was always a dead giveaway though because I used to end up with green between my teeth so everybody knew what I had been up to!

Kaopectate remember one of my old bosses telling me to take this because of a dodgy tum - but we also used to make up 50ml bottles of panacur too and I got the wrong one

collovet is quite nice

I know someone who gives gravey on their dogs dry food, but I just thought of all the salt that it is in it. There are appitiser sprays that you can buy that you spray onto animals food which increase the smell and are more like an oil. We had some samples sent to work in fish/chicken/beef flavour, can't remember that company though!
