| Tyler can't handle wet food? I don't get it!!!! The only way to get him to eat his food (BLue) is to put some wet on top and mix it in. When I would put warm water on it it ALSO made his tummy upest. Arrg.... I'm not even putting THAT much on there... I don't know maybe I am. How much wet and how much dry should I be giving him? He's 5#s and 9 months. And changing his food just isn't an option right now. We've changed it THREE times already. |

hmmm...I have personally never given any of my dogs wet food, I stick to dry food since it's better for their teeth, maybe he doesn't like how if feels when he eats it!? You should really ask your vet what you should be doing!

| Could you try a little bit of chopped up boiled chicken mixed in with his kibble. This was the only way a friend could get her Yorkie to eat when she was young. Now that she's 2 she'll eat it plain just fine and she just gives it to her as a treat now and then.

| I've thought about putting some in with his kibble but scared that will upset his tummy as well!!! Hrmmm ): There's so many different options and stuff but it seems like no matter what I give him he either hates it or more so it hurts his tummy. |

Why are you mixing wet food in with his dry? I never gave Peanut wet food, I will on rare occasions but he gets dry all the time Maybe put like a teaspoon of wet food. Have you tried not mixing in the wet food? I would just try giving him just the dry food to eat.. If Tyler is hungry he will eat only his dry food.

| If Tyler has an upset tummy a lot maybe you should try to get him on a "limited ingredent" dog food.... Maybe that is the problem??? I know you can get some samples to see if he likes it first..

What do you mean when you say that his tummy is upset? What brand of wet food are you mixing into the Blue Buffalo? What was the reason that you switched for 3 times already? Do you purchase your food at Petco?

he poops EVERYwhere and it isn't completely runny but it's soft and there are some spots of runny puddles. I'm mixing in the Blue wet food and i switched the first time because it was purina and i heard purina is BAD! second time he was eating wellness (you know i think it's been 4 times) and he had to go stay with my mother in law and she said he wouldn't eat it so she fed him IAMS. well i don't think IAMS is healthy either so i decided to try Blue. And like i said he will eat it it just takes him FOREVER. like it takes him a day to eat one bowl of food and the bowl is small ): we also have a problem now with ants getting to it so if he doesn't eat it then then the ants swarm it and i have to throw it out. so that's that | |

| apparently tyler just likes it when I post his business on the forum and then once I do he behaves. LOL... I didn't want to feed him in the living room but I figured I'd try it.... he ate half his food which is better than when I give it to him in the kitchen. So I guess we'll try this for awhile. Oh... and I didn't put anything in his bowl but kibble (: |
