She is vocal too, if i pet Cooper (my cocker spaniel) and I ignore her, she will bark and jump like there is no tomorrow 
now both of them did not eat at all yesterday lol but i'm guessing its just strange for both of them, cuz im switching cooper back to his normal kibble and obviously she is switching from whatever she was eating.
I'll try the Parmesan trick today and update you guys. |
Aw...I am soooo happy to hear that Dolly found you and you found Dolly!
I'll bet she's overwhelmed. She's probably happy that she has a dog buddy too!
I had an issue with my previous dog who ate and tore up ALL used tissue she could access from all garbage cans. It was super frustrating! Make sure you nip this habit asap or you'll have to deal with it forever. So when I first came home my little Scottie, I made sure to let him know that digging
anything out of the garbage can was a big no no. Even if he sniffs at it, I give a firm "NO". When he turns away and leaves, I give him me sweet voice "gooood boy"
I agree - I don't have time to cook for my dogs either. The only time I boil chicken breast for them is if they have upset stomach. Otherwise, it's kibble. Both Scottie and Casie are on Orijen (though some dogs have tummy issues with it due to the high protein content).
I say...if she's not eating the kibble so far, start slowly with her - she will eat soon enough when she's hungry. She sounds like she's in good health! Happy for you
