I don't know what to do. I would prefer she eat the Fromms. From everything I read, it is a pretty good food -- and the first kibble she would even touch. I've never had a dog that is such a picky eater.
She will, however, eat part of my grilled cheese sandwich, if I give it to her. I don't give it to her very often, but sometimes can't resist those little eyes begging me for a bite.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! |
This is just a suggestion. You can try sprinkling freeze dried raw on top of her kibble. That is how I started incorporating raw food into their diet. They did very well.
I've tried just about anything & everything to get them to eat kibble...enthusiastically.
Loll
Scrambled/ fried/ boiled egg, salmon, tilapia, cod, chicken, cheese, green beans, all kinds of veggies & fruits (that they like as treats). They would pick the yummy stuff & leave the kibble!
Then, I added canned food....that was another problem bc they would gobble the kibble down w/out chewing. So I moistened the kibble & added canned food. That worked for awhile...
There's nothing wrong w/adding fresh whole foods to their kibble. Just FYI, if you're going to home cook, you'll need to add vitamins & minerals to make it a complete balanced diet. There's a sticky about home cooking on top of this forum.
