1 Tip - on life with your dog
Dogs need their teeth cleaned just like we do. Dental issues can lead to health problems.
Regular teeth brushing with DOG specific toothpaste & dental check-ups at the vet are important.
Consider adding a seaweed powder (Ascophyllum Nodosum) to their food. Studies have shown it can help reduce plaque and tartar buildup.
Check for bad breath, bleeding gums, excessive drooling, and difficulty eating.
1 Idea - on the leading edge
Dogs have around 1,700 taste buds, humans have approx. 9,000 with dogs being more sensitive to salty, sour, and bitter tastes than us.
A dogs taste and scent senses are separate but work together creating a smell/ taste experience, which is why your dog drools when smelly food is around.
If you have a picky eater, remember dogs will mostly eat anything that smells good to them, so choosing very aromatic foods will increase your chances for success.

All dogs have the ability to bite, just as all humans have the ability to cause harm. The trick is to act in a reasonable way so that harm becomes unnecessary. Bonnie Garmus, Lessons in Chemistry
