You might all need to try a little "tough love"!! Your dog will not starve, you need to put down what you want them to eat. Give them 20 minutes to eat it, pick up whatever they haven't eaten and put it back in the refrig. Next day, give them their food again, with leftovers and see if they will eat it. If not, pick up in 20 minutes and put it away. Dogs can go up to 3 days without eating unless they are puppies or weigh under 2 lbs. My dogs were picky and only weigh 3 lbs. but they learned to eat when it is presented to them and if they don't I know they aren't really hungry. Sometimes dogs gorge one day and then don't feel like eating the next, just like in the wild!! Hope this helps, I don't have any food problems since I've done this and I have 5 picky dogs!!
