Several of the suggestions are things that you can try on your own (hand feeding, changing the temperature of the food, changing the location where you feed the dog). However, anything involving a change in medication or adding something to the food to improve it's flavor will require approval from your vet.
Another option is home cooking, but again, it would have to be in direct consultation with a veterinary nutritionist to make sure that the protein and nutrient balance is correct for your specific dog. |
I have a pup with PLN and she is also very picky. She will eat Purina NF .. if you haven't tried it ask your vet about it.
Vet nutritionists are great...but usually you have to do a tele consult since there are not a lot of them. I have used a couple in the past. If you want information on how to find one, let me know.
