I feed RC just because Joey's so fussy; it was one food he'd eat. If you give them human food, they do like it better, and will find it hard to switch back to dog food. The problem with that is unless you know what you're doing, and supplement the human food, they will not have a nutritiously balanced diet. If human food is more than 30% of their diet, supplements are necessary. A couple of things you could do would be to stop all treats and human food for a while, and set out the food and take it away after 20 minutes. Do this twice a day for a couple of days and she will start eating. If you are too anxious to wait that long, you can tempt her with a little Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top of the food. Most dogs love it, and it won't ruin them for the real food. You can give occasional human food treats, after a week or so, once she's eating her food. Boiled chicken is great for training, but don't ever give them so much that it ruins their appetite. Dogs will eat when they are hungry, but most dogs learn that if they hold out humans will aways cave in, and that's why some people think the dog will never go back to dog food, but this isn't true, you just have to have more will power than the dog. Just tell yourself, you will be strong for two days . . . | She is eating the mush!! or what ever you called it. I blended dear meat, (hamburger) rice flaxseed, food supplement( very little, because I didn't want to overdo it since her food already has it), her Rc, one piece of okra, a tiny piece of apple, a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, and a little bit of cheese. I put it in tiny serving's containers for a week. She ate it, but I still want her to eat her dry food, so I will keep working at it. I got this recipies from older postings, and added the okra to it, because of its properties. |
