I am having a terrible problem and need some advice& help. I have an 8 month old yorkie who refuses to eat. When he was a puppy he use to eat 4-5 times a day. I started him out on Science Diet. 2 months ago I changed his food to Eukanuba because it was reccomeded to me by a vet because his skin was dry. He did not want to eat that so I went back to using Science Diet. He just refuses to EAT!!! hardly, unless we play with his food or with him to encourage him to eat. This process has been driving me crazy and I dont know what to do. I dont want to give him any human food & my vet said it would be wise not to do that. What other brands should I try to feed my yorkie. He NEVER had a problem with eating until 2 months ago....his attitude has changed dramatically towards food. We even stopped giving him treats in order to get him to eat. Any help would be appreciated.
