| My baby girl won`t eat! Hi, my name is Amanda. My little baby girl, Mollie, won`t eat any of the foods that we buy her. We have a boy, Bugsy, and the girl, Mollie. Bugsy will eat anything, but after a while, he would get sick of the food, approximatly a week after he`s been eating it. When we buy food for Mollie. She wouldn`t eat it at all, so then we had tried to give her wet food, and she ate it, but we didn`t like giving it to her because then she would be used to the wet food, and not the dry food. Please help! What should be feed her!? -Amanda[Mollie&Bugsy`s momma] ..you may see other bullitins from my sister Magdalena too.. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | You didn't say how old she is ? I would try to feed her dry mostly and to get her to eat maybe mix a little of what she likes in it (wet food)...let it get soft and gradually change her to dry food ? I don't know what you're using but you can search here for dog food and see what others use....I use Eukanuba Naturals and my girls like it. |

| hhmmm...yes. Let us know what you're feeding your pup. Try Merrick puppy plate wet And dry. My pup LOVES it. Yes, mix in the wet with the dry food first and then slowly reduce it to only dry. I hate to say this but also try just leaving out the dry food. If your pup gets hungry enough, she'll eat it. In the meantime continue to giver her nutircal for proper nutrition.

| What worries me is that you switch dog foods around. This isn't good for any dog. And can cause probs with their system. Pick one food and stick with it, for both dogs. Obviously she isn't starving to death since she's a year old. What I would do is pick a dry dog food (dry dog food helps clean their teeth as they eat it) and mix it with a little wet. Then slowly day by day decrease the amount of wet food in the mixture till there is only dry. You could also try Nutri-cal or a similar product to stimulate her appitite. This is a paste that you just stick on your finger and she'll lick it off. It also has some extra calories for her. lol
