when i was giving zack boiled chicken breast and white rice, following his illness, i learned of people feeding cottage cheese and white rice and so i made some for zack. He loved the cottage cheese. The only problem was, whereas he ate up the chicken and rice together and seemed to love the combination, when i gave the rice with the cottage cheese, he only ate the cottage cheese and left the rice in the bowl. so, i knew it was pointless to mix the cottage cheese with kibble. but i give him some by itself occasionally. He definitely loves it.
