That doesn't sound outrageous to me. As I said, I toss food to mine to get her to eat.
It's hard to shift loyalties in a dog once they've chosen a master, but maybe you could try with Chloe. Teddy sounds like he's well and truly your husband's. Do you go on walks with her? Definitely feed her. Obedience training might help with the bonding experience. I recently read (I can't recall where) that you can often buy the best show dogs in the world, but that people will fall over laughing if you offer them a fortune for their obedience dog. It's true. Working together is something that brings a great bond between dog and human.
