My dog is always trying to steal food from the table and the pantry. Today she got ahold of some fish oil caps but luckily she didn't eat any. I feed her 2/3 cup of kibble per day. Can I add 1/3 cup of no salt added French cut green beans to her meals? Will this help satisfy her more? I really wouldn't feel comfortable increasing her kibble because she is already at her goal weight So I think she would get chubby if I fed her more dog food. (She's slightly under 17 pounds) thanks!

Green beans are normally a very safe and healthy option to add some extra "bulk" to the diet without significantly increasing calories - so as long as Chloe is otherwise healthy and isn't on any kind of special diet for medical reasons, it should be fine to add some to her diet to see if this helps her feel more full :)
