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!! |
I've tried this with her several times when she refused to eat a new food. After about 24 hours of not eating anything, she spend the enire night throwing up yellow foam. Every 10 minures or so she throws up. My vet, as well as others on here said thats because her belly is empty and I found it to be true the next time we were in the same position.
I gave her half a medallion again this morning and she barely even got 6 inches from it.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?/? Im so tired of throwing away food. Between her allergies and pickyness, Ive thrown away/donated at least 100 bucks! And thats with the fact that I usually have some kind of coupons/samples!
