Does anyone here use Grapenut cereal for a source of added fiber in the diet? Had a vet visit the other day and the vet had to do a anal gland expression on Hank because the glands were not expressing themselfs like they should. He want eat veggies anymore, has anyone here tried cereal? Thanks for the help.

Hmm, never heard of giving the grapenut cereal as a source of fiber. I'm not sure on that one. I know you can give some canned pumpkin, plain not the pie filling, as a source for fiber. Have you tried that? They usually like the pumpkin too.

I googled "dogs and fiber" and this was the only thing I could find other than those companies selling it as a supplement.  I'd go with what Tootsie said canned pumpkin is a good source and easy to use.  Mine will eat it right off the spoon.  Hope this helps.

lol, i thought i was the only one who tried that! I put peanut butter in her Kong and some Grapenuts. She likes the crunch.

I'd feed plain oatmeal before I gave cereal.  Theres always hidden stuff even in "healthy" cereal, like soy, salt, preservatives.  You can buy oatmeal that has nothing in it.  Can't beat that quality fiber.  

I'm weary of my own intake of soy (it is literally in everything), so even more so with my dog.

Never tried grapenuts, but I give Ollie a little Kashi Go Lean every now and then mixed up in his Kong (with PB, bananas and yogurt) - he likes it very much. But I only give him a lil bit in there.
