Honestly Tracy, I don't know if any gravy is "good" for them, no more than gravy is good for people. By nature, gravy is not a healthy thing being made from stock and meat drippings and fat. Thats the reason I dilute it. I don't saturate the food with it, just a couple of squirts and mix it around and that little extra flavor seems to make them happy. That being said, I stopped with the gravy altogether. They started having runny stools and I figured the gravy was the reason. Once I stopped the gravy, the runny stools stopped as well. Which brings me to another point. I would much prefer more flavorful food for them rather than adding anything but how do we know what tastes best to dogs considering they'll pretty much eat whatever you put in front of them?
