| my grand baby doesn't really eat! he is so thin and he will eat fruits and carrots with no problem. does anyone else have these issues? he just doesn't have that much of an appetite. he is 16 mos I have tried the tube vitamins be he won't take it. when I bought him he came with liquid vitamins which he loved. he eats Wellness foods. I just want to know if finicky eating is normal?

| Yeah, some can be very finicky. Have you tried drizzling some chicken broth on his kibble? Also, perhaps boiling up some white meat chicken and some rice (it's easy to over fill his tummy on that stuff but they do seem to love it).

| Kyra is a finicky eater we grind boiled chicken breast in the food processor and mix it really well with her kibble. She gobbles it all up this way.

| Thank you some im gonna try it... I was told to much wet food isn't good for them. So I try to stick to the dry food but I give him apples,carrots,blueberries, watermelon, and mango these are his favs! Has anyone tried fresh brown rice?

| My Chloe is the QUEEN of fussy eaters. She wouldnt eat any dog food and I had tired dozens. I always heard if they are hungry enough they will eat. Not her, she actually got the shakes from not eating, I promptly gave her honey and anything that she wanted at that point lol. The only "dog food" she will eat is raw food which I have had her on for almost a year with awesome success. She is super healthy and happy, it may be an option for you if your little one is as you say skinny and fussy as that sounds like "princess Chloe". If your interested in trying a raw diet you can see if any of the smaller pet food stores in your area carry it as I have never seen it offered in any of the larger chain stores. I purchase Chloes food at a small independant pet store. Good Luck!

When I mentioned drizzling the broth over the kibble, I didn't mean soaking it or anything..just drizzle - doesn't really make it wet at all. Still has crunch
