Help...I want to switch back to dog food...what do you suggest for picky dogs? I have been home cooking for about 3 months now for my 3 and am so sick of doing it. I did it because they werent eating the food I was buying half the time which I know was bad anyways (Little Cesar and Kibbles and Bits dry), so when I switched I figured I would be saving money and that they would be eating more consistently. Prior to this, I might put food out in the evening and it would still be there in the morning.Plus my Yorkie was always throwing up and I thought a more neutral diet would be better. In fact I first started this after another one of her throwing up episodes. She has been seen by the vet who says she has a sensitive stomach.
I switched to a diet of cooked meat (varies in kind), with brown rice, sometimes an egg, and a teaspoon of missing link. I now think I am probably not giving them the proper nutrients plus they have turned as picky with the people food as they were with the dog food, plus I am tired of having to cook everyday for them. I dont even cook that much for my family to tell the truth.
So, my question is...what can I try that they might like? Are they so spoiled now with people food that they wont ever go back to dog food? What can I try that your picky dog likes? I have tried Merricks wet which they would not touch, Purina One which they wouldnt touch, Royal Canin, no luck, plus a few others. Tried to go back to the improved Little Cesar but no luck. I actually have tried mxing some meat in with the Cesar in the hopes that I would gradually give less and less people food and more dog food, but they just pick the people food out and leave the rest. My husband gets so angry that I waste so much money trying these foods that they wont eat but I dont know what to do. My Yorkie has gained alot of weight too which is not good for her. Thanks for any help you can give.
