My 2 year old girl, Marnie is real fussy eater. All she will eat is chicken!!! and sometimes dried complete dog food. Any suggestions on how i can get her off the chicken??? She is 5 weeks pregnant, first time pregnancy. I am getting concerned she is not eating enough, she is fed in the morning and early evening, has dried food and water out all the time. I have just started giving her Lactol as an extra boost. I am a new breeder and I just want to know I am doing things correctly????? Any help grately appreciated.

When my dogs wont eat I mix a little cottage cheese in their food and they eat it. Good luck I have picky eaters too and know how hard it is to get them to eat sometimes.

I have been told to stop feeding anything else and they will not starve themselves and will eat the dry. It works, try not feeding anything else!

When one of my girls was pregnant, all she wanted was chicken. I let her have what she wanted since I figured her body knew what she needed. She later took back to canned food along with boiled chicken. She did great.
