As most of you know, my dog is a very picky eater. The problem has gotten worse in the last year or so because the veterinarian wants Sadie on a prescription dry food to help support her joints. Sadie seems to realize that this kibble is very healthy for her, because she tries to avoid it at all costs. It’s like Sadie can smell the glucosamine and refuses to eat anything with that smell. So I’ve been working hard to try to mask the smell and find creative ways to get Sadie to eat her prescription food. Otherwise, Sadie has made it very clear that she would rather starve than eat plain prescription kibble. It was starting to seem like no matter what I tried, I would end up hand feeding her at least the first few bites to make sure she ate something. But recently feeding time has become much easier thanks to Delectable Delights Wet Cups from Natural Balance.
Delectable Delights are a series of savory wet food options from Natural Balance, made to provide a complete, healthy meal for adult dogs of all breeds and sizes. There are four flavors: Duck’en-itas (duck and chicken), Woof’erole (tuna and turkey), Fish ‘N Chicks (salmon and chicken), and Surf ‘N Turf (tuna and chicken). All four flavors are grain free, so they are a great choice for dogs with allergy issues. And each flavor not only contains healthy protein, but also vegetables like sweet potato, pumpkin, and green beans which help keep your dog healthy and happy. Each wet cup has a broth base, keeping the food moist and delicious for your dog. And as you can see from my photos, the meat and vegetables actually look appetizing, almost like a homemade stew instead of the unidentifiable mush of some other types of wet food for dogs.
Even though Delectable Delights contain a full meal in each wet cup (based on the size/weight/activity level of your dog, you may need more than one wet cup for a complete meal), Sadie and I only use a portion of a wet cup as a topping for her prescription kibble. This enables Sadie to stick to her veterinarian recommended joint support diet, but gives us a way to make her meals much more palatable. Personally Sadie seems to prefer the Duck’ en-itas flavor. I usually warm a few spoonfuls in the microwave before mixing it in with her prescription dry food, thus making a flavorful, moist meal for my pup.

Happy to hear you’ve found some yummy treats!
I think my doggies would like Surf N turf flavor!
Sadie is adorable! Our pups love it and it looks like it was lip licking good for her too!
My dog would love the Surf ‘N Turf the best!
Leo started rejecting his food when I put glucosamine on it, too. Sadie sure looks pretty in these pictures!

I think my dog would like the Woof’erole flavor! It sounds like fun just to say! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
Bowser would like the Duck’en-itas
My pup would love the Woof’erole flavor.
I could use this wet food to hide pills which is also a major challenge in our household — if it won over Sadie I think I can try it for Bruiser!
i think my girls would love the surf n turf. they love fish, sardines.
My 3 Frenchies love all food but really love fishy flavors! Surf & turf would be a hit!
I think Dexter would like the surf and turf best
Surf n turf
Haven’t tried these with our dog, but he does eat the Natural Balance meat stick things. I think he’d like the one with turkey in it.
Those look good for travel. I have such a hard time finding food to travel with. Canned food doesn’t come in meal-sized servings for him. Just cat food!
We enjoy Natural Balance treats too! I can’t wait to visit with them at the conference.

So glad Sadie is enjoying her healthy food! Matilda would love the Duck too!
These sound so healthy & delicious! My Husky, Icy, is a very picky eater but she does like Natural Balance foods. I know my dogs would love the fish & chicks the most! I must try them.
Love & biscuits,

Sadie you are so cute and that Delectable Delights sounds perfect for you! We love Natural Balance and have been eating their grain free kibble for years. Love Dolly
Truffle and Brulee like the Delectable Delights for cats.
Great idea with using the tasty Natural Balance food to cover up the not-so-yummy prescription food! That was really smart. Sadie is such a beautiful girl! I’m happy to see that she is getting the nutrition she needs. 🙂 My kitties like Natural Balance foods too.
I think my dog Milo would go for the Delectable Delights® ChopLick’n Stew® Dog Stew Formula

I understand the struggle of trying to get a picky dog to eat, especially for medical reasons. Gracie isn’t on prescription food, but she has Epilepsy and it’s important for her brain function to get all the nutrients in her food every day. I have been adding raw food mixers in, but I have also thought about trying wet food as a topper. I will have to be sure and look at Natural Balance!
Our girls would like surf and turf flavor.
I think surf and turf for my princess Belle

This is so wonderful and I know the doggies are going to be so happy, this is going to be such a wonderful treat for them 🙂

My Pug has a chicken allergy and the only treat I can find that she will eat is from Natural Balance. She loves treat time, and they are priced reasonable. An entire isle at Petsmart, and this is the only brand I could find without chicken. Good company.
First off…. your doggie is adorable! I just wanted to shout out to you about this great post! I am looking for some new soft food options for my older doggie and these sound fabulous for him! I will be checking these out and Thanks for sharing 🙂
I think my dog would absolutely love any of the flavors. I wouldn’t buy this food for her on a regular basis because of the expense. However, if I had to give her medication, I would hide it in this wet food.
