Alice is really picky and I found that she likes grain free foods much better (smells stronger?). I use Orijen puppy. The other thing I have to do with her (and from what I've read here, it seems to be pretty common) is that she won't eat her food out of a bowl. I have to kind of spread it out on the kitchen floor and then she'll eat it all. She has this weird way about doing it too - she keeps moving around the food and taking every few pieces from a differnt side of the pile. Lol, idk, off the floor is the only way she'll eat so I do it.
I tried all the tricks mentioned in threads here, parmesan cheese, chicken breast etc and none of it worked for her. I had to put her in a corner of the kitchen and sit on the floor with my legs spread to block her from walking away, kind of telling her - this is your food, you are gonna eat it. She would still give me a hard time every few meals and one day I was really frustrated and dumped it on the floor lol and she ate it! I don't know what it is, but it works. So now I just spread her food out on the kitchen floor and she goes at it. Of course when she's done I wipe the area down with natural cleaner lol.
There's a whole pile of threads in the "health and diet" section so I'd say check those out too if you need more ideas. |
