He then goes for a bit of food between his tiny bites of his soft chew vitamins. If I don't give him any, he may eat a nibble of his food, and then again he may only smell and walk away. I gave him a bit in his tiny scooper and he ate only when I added some of his vitamins in there. Anytime I add stuff in his dry food he will eat, but after a while, he will pick only the wet and leave the dry. This has gotten to the point like whenever I have switched food on him. What brands do ya'll use~? Have any of ya'll had these issues~? I only gave him one treat this am after I groomed him and nothing more. I have cut treats out in the past and did pick the bowl up after so many minutes if he didn't eat, but nothing like that works for him. He holds out. Is this a terrier issue. I just don't know of anything else to do except to (non-allowed word) and I have no idea to what brand. |
When I switched over to blue brand food, my dog would devour it. If I put some hot water over it and stirred it up, he'd go crazy for it. He seems to enjoy the food much more than the puppy chow I was feeding him before I was told about the Blue food.
He also went from pooping 5-6 times per day to once or twice per day, and his coat is much shinier. It does give him bad gas though, that's the only part about it that I can't stand. He's sleeping next to me as I type this and every once in a while it'll creep up to me.
I did see a segment on television where a woman couldn't get her dog to eat. Cesar Milan said that some dogs want to work for their food, as it's in their instinct. So he took a toy that had a hole in it, filled it with food, and the dog had to roll it around on the floor to get the food to spill out, then he would eat it off the floor. If you can't get him to eat you may want to try that.
