Yep i always add a liitle warm water to kibble to make a touch of gravy.
Not gravy ...a
sprinkle of hot water

- just releases the flavour. Adding any more water will make the biscuit soft and it isn't as good for her teeth or digestion. But, we do add a little wet food to it too - just 100g of something tasty or an ounce of cooked mince. Still keeps the biscuit crunchy.

Can be messy buggers can`t they

we have got some ready brek, and i will try her with that to give her a change from egg
Yes, messy indeed ...doesn't last though

If you have any honey, try a little on the top of the porridge for her supper.
Thats a good idea about the half milk/water Trish and i think i will start doing that with Maya. I think that is the only problem with dry food, it is just that, so they tend to be a bit thirsty after eating.
I am getting bloody paranoid about that bloat now, even though after having dogs all my life and never coming across it, it is worrying.
It's a good way to let her have a drink after eating, but not enough to gulp air in with the water.
I used to feel very worried about it, but you just do the best you can to lessen the risk. Not all deep chested dogs are going to get it, so once you take those few steps, you need to just be watchful but not continually worried.
The bigger the breed, the more risk. I reckon Maya won't be much bigger than our so called miniature was (she was big!) - and I didn't even know about bloat for the 13.5 years we had her! Far less the boxer before her.
Just being aware and taking preventative steps is all you can do, and all will likely be well
