 Not eating anything!
Pancake is 7 months now and hasn't been eating like she used to for about 1 month or so (I have always fed her human food and it has never affected her eating her dry food). The human food I give her is just little pieces of whatever I'm eating if it is fairly healthy and tasty. When I noticed she wasn't eating very much, I added a couple strips of chicken breast throughout her food, and she ate the whole thing. This worked great for a couple weeks, then she just picked the chicken out to eat and I have been losing the battle ever since. I have tried adding canned food (pedigree, iams) and that doesn't help much. She's so spoiled now, I didn't know that feeding her human food would eventually stop her from eating her own food. She is still on puppy food too, i tried the next step up and she won't touch it. I am feeding her nutrience which is sold at the pet store where I bought her. I have read through the threads and Merrick, Innova, and Canidae are mentioned frequently. I live in a small town in Canada, there is one pet store here called pets unlimited and they only sell Nutrience. The only other place to get anything for pets is Wal-Mart. It sucks, I wish I had a PetSmart or Petco. Anyway, I will probably end up ordering Merrick online, but is there any other good brand I can get at Wal-Mart and does this mean I can never give my baby human food again? I love food, and I just figured she would be a happier pup if she was allowed something really tasty every now and again. Sorry for such a long post, I'd really appreciate any help. Pancake is my first pup and I want her to be healthy! |
