Yup, sounds like she's got you trained!
I love giving some variety, but not if it's too the point where he's flat out refusing food. I used to do this - he didn't eat for one day and "oh, he doesn't like it!" and go out and buy something new. Now I rotate after every bag or every two bags but he's not expecting something new every time he refuses to eat. My picky eater has turned into a very good eater actually! I can tell when he really like a particular kibble or is just okay about it... so it's an added bonus if he likes it!
It came to a point where I just decided on scheduled meals and he adjusted super well. I usually give him kibble mixed with some wet food for his breakfast- he's typically not a big eater in the mornings, so the only way he will eat then is with something mixed in. Sometimes I'll give some of the remainder left in the afternoon, sometimes we do our long walks then so he comes inside hungry. Other times, I pour the rest in his bowl and he eats it all around 6pm or so. |
