| Spoiled eater. I have a question, but I don't want anyone to think I am being bad to my dog. I'm not doing this, but I feel I need to to get him to eat. I leave his food down all the time, I'm feeding raw and kibble. He doesn't eat either. So, if I put his food down and he doesn't eat, can I pick it up after a certain amount of time and not give him anything else without worrying that he will starve till his next meal? He is 5 months today and at a perfect weight (only because I feed him whatever to keep his weight), but I want him to eat what I feed him, not what he wants.

| I leave dry food down for Callie all the time and I also have to hand feed her twice it to get her to eat but she has as an adult had low blood sugar issues so I'm kinda freaky about it. Have you tried making eating kinda like a game like using one of the toys where the treats fall out when they mess with it but instead of using treats using kibble? Of using one of the doggy puzzles but again using kibble instead of treats? I have even tried tossing one piece near her and making it a toss like game.
