| Lol stop feeding him people food. Not even treats and he will eat his food as long as he is healthy but from the sounds of it you have him something new and better to him so he is simply waiting for the good stuff! |

| Lol. Little picky eater. Add some hot water and a little Chicken/beef broth or soya sauce in his dry food. Hope that will help. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | You may want to try mixing his hard food with a little wet food (premium brand) Keep us posted.

| The idea is to select easily digestible foods such as cooked rice, boneless and skinless chicken or turkey, small bits of string cheese . Dogs love their fruits and veggies, too, so feel free to up their vitamin count with traditional canine favorites like carrots, apples and green beans. Your baby may be a bit more discriminating in the produce department, but some dogs love fresh melon, corn and cookedbroccoli. Why not see if your baby is among this group? As a rule of thumb, table food and other treats should make up no more than five to ten percent of your animal companion's daily intake. Should you overdo it, you may find him refusing his regular food, thereby failing to meet his nutritional requirements. My opinion on feeding table food to dogs is evolving. I used to think it was a terrible idea, certain to make dogs sick and/or fat. Now I think there may be a place for lean meats, grains, vegetables, and fruits as perhaps 25% of a dog’s diet, with 75% of the diet being a well-balanced commercial dog food.
