There are vitamins, minerals, and nutrients in meat that cannot be found in other food sources that your
dog will eat. You can purchase a good, dry kibble for him, like Iams or Science Diet, that will provide all he needs, plus taste good to him. Yes, meat is included, as it must be for dogs. In the meantime, you can take a turkey-baster full of water, and dribble it into the back corner of his mouth, allowing for him to swallow. And make appt with your vet - your dog needs this.
