| Finicky Eating Problem Finally Solved So I finally have Snickers eating normally, and jumping up and down for his food which was my goal. After much trial and tribulation I ended up choosing NB Duck/Potato & NB Venison/Spotato. I am goin to do 2 weeks rotations so my guy does not get bored. The way I get him to eat is to add the smallest amount of canned EVO 95% duck or venison to the kibble just to coat it. He gobbles it down. If I give it dry, he eats 2 and walks away and will starve himself. I was also worried NB did not have enough meat/protein since it was not 1st ingredient in kibble, but with the EVO I am happy to give him more meat! So just wanted to post incase it will help anyone else. I did want to just give him dry for the ease of it, but him being excited and gobbling it down with a full belly makes it all worth it. He poops 2-3 times a day and LIKES his food...hooray!! Good luck to you all. Also I use Wellness Jerky treats Venison and Snick will do ANYTHING for them and they are grainless. Potty training rocks with them. -Vivian ps...the store clerk I was talking to last night told me that owners of small dogs many times switch their foods 2-3 times a year b/c the dogs are so picky!! UGH!!! |

| Same Result I have had the same result lately. I changed Sophie to Wellness Puppy and canned. She was the pickiest eater ever. She was getting so thin and I was getting really nervous. When we first switched I didnt see any results really. I stuck with it for a month and now out of no where she is eating so well. Now she is eating three full meals a day. I am so amazed and happy!!!
