My crazy pup won't eat unless she has to work for it! So it's close to 6pm, and so far Roxy hasn't eaten much at all today. This is a regular occurance. There has been food in her dish all day, but it seems the only way we can get her to eat unless she's totally starving is to put her food in an empty pop bottle and let her jump on it in order to get it out. This is something she's perfected now, and knows exactly where to hit the bottle in order for the food to come out. I just put some food in there and of course she ate it all up, but why won't she just eat it if it's in her dish?? What a little goof ball! She prefers to work for her food rather than just have it handed to her? Does anyone else have weird food issues like this with their pups? |

maybe she is afraid of the bowls you have for her!? we bought fiona this plastic bowls at first, she would not eat out of them at all, so i got the stainless steal ones, and she did fine with that!!!!! Maybe try hand feeding her too!? Fiona gets a little bit of food in her crate when i leave in the am for work, and when she gets home, i fill her bowl, but she usually wont touch it until about 9pm at night, which is odd to me...maybe she is just being picky!? (i'd talk to your vet?. i think it would be different if she werent eating at all! ) |
Have you ever tried a Buster Cube? She'd probably love that, too! For years that was the only way Lady would get her kibble. Her problem was that she ate so fast she'd get gas and I'd have to burp her or she would throw up. :( Buster Cube - Home |
As long as she's eating i guess it doesnt really matter how she does it LoL My Pasquale will never eat AT his bowl. I call him the eater on the run! He grabs one kibble...races to the opposite end of the house....eats his kibble....grabs a toy..chucks it across the room...and then runs back to his bowl again....and repeats these steps over and over again. I put his morning feed down around 7am. He finishes it around 1:30pm. I'm glad to see i'm not alone in the "unique eater" category!! |
Sometimes Max will do this type of thing to. He makes me throw his hard food then he chases it and eats it. Strange. After about 15 pieces he walks over to his bowl and eats. Silly Pup! :animal36 |
That is so stinkin funny! Will you video tape it & post the routine? |
