| My Ziva was always a "picky" eater until the vet was insistent that she lose at least a pound or more! It took awhile to cut her food back enough to get her to start losing ounce by ounce. But we are down the pound and she eats her ration without a single complaint.No treats! (She was over 8 lbs and what I thought was stocky and solid- now an even 7 lbs and doesn't look at all skinny, I guess the vet was right she should be 6 1/2 lbs) |

| I know your frustration with food! Tucker will not eat any dog food! I tried the deal with "when he gets hungry he will eat" deal....no he did not! He will eat chicken for a while , then beef, sweet potatoes, then will not touch them! I worry about him getting what he needs and have tried everything they offer to put on the food etc. Vet says he is good and healthy and to keep doing what I am doing! But, I guess every Mom whats her baby to eat a little at least!

| Alright update on the treat problem We found a new treat that the boys like They seem to be liking the sweet potato treats But they have the consistency of Gummy Bears and my Mike gets them stuck on his back teeth so he goes around with his mouth half open and his toungue hanging out like a Teddy bear .... and I have to UNSTICK the Sweet Potato Treat

| Hello, Have you tried any of the freeze dried treats? They are the ONLY treats my little guy will eat. The food is still hit or miss but he seems to tolerate this brand better than others we had tried it is biljac for small breeds. |

| Finicky Oh how I feel your frustrations! I get so worried when my dog will not eat his food. Like your boy, he gets sick if he does not eat so the 'he will eat when he is hungry' idea does not work. I think I have found the magic food, but it only works for a while. At the moment he is on Canine Caviar but I have to add toppings for him to eat. He poops well and is healthy. Luckily he is better with treats. He will do anything for Blue Buffalo soft bites, chicken base, and Pure Bites freeze dried chicken breast. Not that I give him many treats, only good behavior or training. It is a constant battle, but we have to keep trying. LOL! |

| My dogs were picky eaters until I started feeding raw. Now they dance around my feet when I'm preparing it and its eaten down In a matter of minutes the bowl licked clean .

YT 2000 Club Member | I guess I should consider myself lucky, as none of mine are picky eaters! We have 3 yorkies and they all eat their food without any issues. I do not give treats very often, so maybe that is why they always eat their meals. When they do get treats, they are homemade, gluten/grain free treats or some boiled chicken breasts. I really think giving treats may ruin their appetite!
