Sometimes the "eat that or starve" approach is not practical with small dogs as there could be low blood sugar issues. My 7 month old weighs 24 ounces and she needs to eat
at least 3 times a day! Some dogs never take to certain types of meat, mine won't touch rabbit for example but hope is not yet lost in your case. Let your dogs have their chicken, but take it away before the half way mark and replace the chicken with the pork necks. Sometimes during a feeding frenzy, dogs won't even notice the difference and just eat whatever is in front of them. Either way, your dogs should eat *
something* right now! You can re-freeze any meat and try again at a later time to re-feed.

They must be very hungry. I did not even give them treats yesterday. How long should I hold out. Jack is only 3.5 lbs and Mia is 1.5 lbs. They are still running around playing but I am starting to get worried.
