That's what I'd do. It sounds like he just needs a little something extra to get his appetite going.

It sounds like a very good idea. It will give you more info about what he's eating in terms of kibble. And it will allow you to give the enzymes along with the food, so that he's getting more food with enzymes, as opposed to just the grazing. Not that he can't eat during the day, but if he has two good meals with the enzymes, it should improve things if there's nothing drastic going on.

I've never met a dog that didn't love bananas, and they are a nutrition gold mine. You could feed him peanut butter and banana slices.
I know a few people who do various dog sports with their dogs who give them dry cereal to keep their energy up before a competition. One friend who does field work with her dogs gives them peanut butter sandwiches (no jam) as an "energy bar"

I don't know of any reason not to. Most dogs are not too sweet induced, but most won't shy away either.

My Neal loved honey. When he was seizing, we found the seizure would dramatically drop his blood sugar and cause clusters that would go every 3 hours for 24 hours. Found that after the first seizure, I would squirt honey in his mouth with an oral syringe and within 2 hours he would be back to normal.
When he started to not eat, we used just about everything that has been suggested with varying results. He loved boiled hamburger or chicken with rice.

Not sure of anyone mentioned this or not, but warming the food might stimulate his appetite since the warmth will release more odor.
Happy Travels!

Kodi enjoys cottage cheese in his kibble. Some dogs don't do well with the dairy product but he's fine with it.
Also enjoys cooked ground pork (higher fat content than ground beef) mixed in with it.
This with a bison/sweet potato dry food has stabilized his output (small pile of solid log poo). Before it seemed things just went right through him and came out a runny mess.
He now keeps weight on too. Although he ingests more food than our other dog who is twice his size (45 lb vs 90 lb).

Well, for breakfast this morning, Ike had "Peaches 'n Cream oatmeal" with dog food mixed in. I worried about the fruit flavor - but he ate it right up! I thought about plain oatmeal - but wanted to get a little sugar into him, too. Easy to fix, nice and warm...brings out the full "bouquet" of the dog food (blecchhhh). Next week I'll take him back to the Vet to get weighed, and see how we do?
