| Hi and welcome. I've never had problems getting mine to eat. They are true piglets, but I home cook, always have.

| Bailey was a picky eater until we switched to homemade raw when she was 8 mos old. She loves her food and she also is a little piglet. When she was younger, I couldn't get her to eat kibble or canned food. I tried topings, broth, everything and nothing worked. I finally took my mom's good advice and now serve a balanced diet which includes raw hamburger, turkey and/or venison, cottage cheese, eggs, vegetables, sardines and rice. Lots of posts on this site about picky eaters. Welcome to YT!

| I'd try some of the toppings mentioned; cooked carrots; green beans; cottage cheese; yogurt; eggs or a little mixing of canned food - coating all the kibbles so she still has to eat the kibble.

| First off, welcome to YT! Was she eating the Canidae regularly before you switched foods? Some pooches can be very picky when it comes to food. I would suggest continue feeding her the Canidae (if she was eating it) and gradually switching her to the new food...slowly change the ratio of the old to the new. |

| Welcome to Yorkie Talk! I don't have my puppy yet but everything I've read about switching their food says to do the slow transition. 75/25. 50/50. 25/75. So on and so forth. Good luck finding Tulip something she likes! (I have this problem with my Maine Coon, fussiest ball of fluff you ever did see.)

| No she was not and my mom tried chicken liver with the Canedia. She ate today and we wait for tomorrow. Are you able to see her picture? |
