I am feeling like I am not being a good mommy to my Bella. The past 6 months I switched Bella's food to Thumper's prescription Hill's Science K/D Diet (I first got the ok from the vet to make sure she can be on it without any issues)

For me it was both financial and ultimately convenance. Bella is a much slower eater than Thumper and some times she would not finish right away as a result Thumper would start eating her food. It would be hard monitoring the both of them. It has been much easier with them on the same food.

However, Bella does not love the food. Before she was on Wellness and loved the brand. Bella doesn't always finish her food and will look at it and walk away. She will basically only eat it when she is hungry. So the mornings are good but dinner time is a challenge with her.

I have started to put parmesan cheese on her food to entice her to eat it, which seems to be helping.

However, I have mommy guilt that I am not doing my best to catering to her and forcing her to eat something she does not like.

Does anyone ever feel guilty over making their babies do something they do not like.

I wish I could free feed her but not possible with Thumper. He is very food motivated and does not know when to stop eating.
