Disclosure CompensationAlpo Meal Helpers Toby

My dog Toby is what you might call a reluctant eater. Most dogs I know love to eat and will gobble up their food in a matter of minutes. Toby isn't one of those dogs. Food just isn't his thing. When we visit the pet store or the drive-thru teller at the bank and they offer Toby a treat he will usually ignore it because he doesn't want to be distracted from the excitement of what's going on around him.

Toby is also very loyal and often won't eat unless both my husband and I are home. This can be a problem when we go on vacation and he stays with my mom or a friend. He will hardly eat anything at all for the first few days. While I know he isn't likely to starve and he really will eat when he's hungry, I often feel like I need to give him some encouragement. I found a new way to do that with Alpo Meal Helpers that I picked up at my local Dollar General.

Alpo Meal Helpers are an easy no-mess way to add a little something special to your dog's meal. They have soft, tender pieces that easily mix in with dry dog food. You just slightly reduce the portion of dry food to accommodate for the extra amount.

Toby loves the Alpo Meal Helpers! The very first time I added it to his dog food he ate up the whole bowl at once – – even without Daddy at home! Head on over to check out all the Dollar General Alpo Products.

    I will have to get some of this for MIlo! I am sure he’d love it.

    These would be great for our older dog. He doesn’t like to eat sometimes.

    I think this Alpo will be a great addition to dog food. As dogs age this could help adjust their diet.

    I haven’t seen these, but it sounds like a great product. My dogs don’t like to eat when it’s hot, so we have to coax them.

    Our dog eats dry food on an everyday basis, but I love the idea of treating him to a meal helper once a week or so. I’m sure he would love the change and he definitely deserves it.

    It’s so sweet that he won’t eat without you guys. I can see how that would be a huge problem, though. It’s great that Alpo encourages dogs to eat.

    My dogs would get so excited if we added this to their dry food! I’ll definitely be on the lookout for it at my grocers!

    These sound awesome. I have noticed that some pets never touch their food bowls but get excited for every treat so these are great.

    I often think that dogs must get tired of eating the same thing all the time. This is a great way to change things up a bit.

    What a sweet dog. It’s so endearing that he won’t eat unless you and your husband are home! But I’m sure as you said, that’s a challenge too if you are traveling. At least when he does eat you have something yummy to give him!

    This sounds great. I would love to change up my pups food a little bit. It has to be so boring eating the same ol’ dry food day after day!

    This would be a great addition to my dog’s plain dry food. I think I will have to pick some up.
