When I got Duffy at 3 months old, the breeder told me I had to hand feed him his wet food until he is 4 - 5 months old to be sure he didn't get hypoglycimic. So, he is 5 months old now and I can't get him to eat out of a dog bowl. If I don't give him the wet food from my finger, he won't eat it. Also, he will only eat dry food if he thinks he is stealing it from my bloodhound's bowl. Any tips on getting him to eat his wet food from a dish? I am really really not wanting to be hand feeding him for the next 15 years. Does he have to have wet food or would he be ok on dry food only? My bloodhound gets a premium salmon & sweet potato mix dry food. would that be ok for Duffy too?
