Same here.... I have to literally chase her around the house with kibble LOL!!! then she'll take it and walk away then spit it out (little stinker!!!!) and maybe if im lucky, she'll eat like 7 pieces of kibble!!!!! but the funny thing is she will never refuse a treat!!!!!! ive even tried not giving her anything for a whole day so she'll be really hungry but no luck!!! (I think shes holding out for the treats) Ive tried about 5 different kinds of kibble, raw, and canned and she'll eat it for a day or so and stop!!! ughhhhh!!!!!
Today we had a breakthrough tho. I noticed if i add water to the kibble, and let it get really soft, she'll eat it. But who knows if she'll eat it tomorrow again.....
I know instinctually a dog will never starve themselves, so im not too worried.
I also heard somewhere that you when you put down the food and they dont eat it within 30 min, you should put it away. Then 30 min later put it back down. Do this over and over and they will start to realize that this all they're getting and they should start to eat. I havent tried it but I doubt it will work with my Maddie.
Sorry I dont have an answer for you but dont worry, you're not alone... |
