I have a 5 year old foster who I picked up yesterday, he wont eat dry food at all. I tried moistening the food and hand feeding him, he ate about 4 kibbles mushy. He was in a foster home for a week before me and she said he will only eat wet food. He had his teeth cleaned a few weeks ago and they were horrible so Im trying to get him on dry to help maintain his teeth. He also hasnt barked in the last few weeks (maybe debarked) he was a shelter dog so his past is unknown. I was curious to see if anyone has experience with debarked dogs and if this causes any throat problems that would effect eating. I dont know if I should give in to the wet food or hold out, is he just being picky? Ive heard a dog wont starve himself? or maybe he just needs time to adjust. He also is very, very skinny.
