Italy is beautiful! Congrats! I always mix just a couple of spoonfuls of stuff into our hounds' food to make it interesting (and to help get rid of human leftovers, because I can't stand food going to waste). They love any kind of leftover cooked veggies, any leftover meat or gravy from said meat, spoonfuls of soup, casseroles, etc. etc. Like I said, only a couple of tablespoons per meal. We're not dealing with weight issues here, though.
