Hi all! I'm new to YT and have been looking over the past files reguarding the finicky eaters. I have a 11 month furbaby named Dolce and she's the worst eater! She'll eat something for 1 meal to 2 weeks and then turn her nose up at it. I've tried games, appetite stimulants (when she was smaller and I was worried with the hypoglycemia), I've tried EVERYTHING! Going through majority of dog foods, homemade, raw, rolls, etc in the past 5 months. The people at the pet store told me that by changing her food everytime she refuses to eat I encourage the pickiness. Is this true? If so, how do I break the cycle? She's a healthy weight so she's not starving/ malnutritioned but it's fustrating having to go to the store or whip up something new and pray that she'll eat it.

Any help would be appreciated!
