Picky Eater My 4 1/2 month old Yorkie, Tilly, is a very picky eater and I am worried that she is not eating enough. She won't eat at all while I am working. I have to set down with her when I am home and hand feed her and then she won' eat enough. I have tried different types of food and she seems ok with a new variety but half way through the bag she looses interest. Any Ideas? I have tried Blue. Royal Canine, and Raw. |
I think it is yorkie pups! Layla insisted I sit with her as well when she ate when she was a puppy. have you tried canned food? Most dogs LOVE it and i like it better than kibble since it is less processed. Also with canned you can change around the flavours. |
Make sure she eats a little all day to keep her blood sugar from dropping. Maybe you could take a high quality canned food and mix in a small amount really well in with the kibble to entice her to eat. |
Heh. I regularly mix canned food with kibble, and just as regularly, my yorkie eats all the canned food and spits all the kibble out. He always leaves a perfect little pile of Kibble bits left over. I do keep trying though because he has dental problems. I saw a tip from "It's Me Or The Dog" that has really helped - dogs prefer smelly food. So heating the food (canned, obviously) really helps, and sometimes I mix in a very small amount of freshly squeezed garlic. You can mix in other things, like some egg or kidney beans. Tomato sauce would probably work too. |
