Hi ~ I was hoping someone would have some advice for me. We just got a female Yorkie yesterday (17wks) and I am having trouble getting her to eat her kibble. We have a 5 year old male yorkie as well, who is a finicky eater. I have their bowls in the same area of the kitchen, when I put her kibble down she just smells it and walks away. This is the same food the breeder fed her in the exact same way and time. The breeder said she usually eats it immediately. What should I do? Maybe put her food and water in a different room. My other yorkie eats homemade food and she is interested in his, but I don't want her to eat that. The food she is on is awesome Great Life Grain and Potato Free kibble. I gave her some Dick Van Pattens Food roll today as a supplement because she wouldn't eat her kibble. Help :-)
Thanks
