| For Those Whose Yorkie Pups are Picky Eaters Just FYI for everyone who has a picky eater, we figured out a couple of things that really seem to make a change in the way our baby eats. Number 1) we moved her food bowl to 6 feet or more away from her potty pad. Number 2) we warm the food to lukewarm in the microwave. These things seem to have increased her appetite and taken her from a fussy eater to a little piggy. |

| Yes, I find warming the food helps too. Tansy will eat anything if you sprinkle a bit of grated cheese on it. Think I should have named her Grommit (so that makes me Wallace!) It doesn't have to be Wensleydale mind, any smelly one will do |

| Food and wee-wee pads should never be close together. Also, why not just feed the real food which is more nutritious and much safer. http://www.homevet.com/petcare/foodbook.html http://www.prwatch.org/prwissues/1996Q1/madcow13.html http://home.att.net/~wdcussick/03.html |

| Thanks for those links. Mojo is a very picky eater...but it isn't just his dog food - it is human food and treats too! We have a small list of those that he likes and will eat on his own. --it is WONDERFUL to have a list now!!! YAY We have never fed by the wee-wee pads (yuck)! Those are in the bathroom and one in the downstairs laundry room. His food is in the kitchen.

| I'm going to try this! He eats Nutro mini chunks but I wanted him to try the lamb and rice. I bought a big bag and was going to mix the two but he won't go near it. I'm going to try and warm it a little and see if he eats it. Thanks!
