Help!!!!!! I have found that my 16wk old puppy is a very picky eater. She won't eat the kibble. I have tried the baby food and it worked for a minute and now she won't eat again. I found out that she likes baked yams is it ok to feed her yams and boiled chicken? She also loves fries which I know is not ok. I am desperate to find alternatives so that she will eat. |
have you tried changing the type of kibble your feeding your puppy ?? i have a picky eating adult and a puppy thats also 12 wks ... i went to the local animal feed store they have tons of different sample bags of hard kibble from name brands..also i've found a link on here that shows what not to feed yorkies .. i'll try and find it ..i remember it was posted by the admin of YT..my breeder highly recomends Royal Canine food btw ....also adds .. be carefull feeding your puppy human food all the time .. they get dependent on it and makes it much worse trying to get them to eat kibble ...:) |
smiles ... its actually listed under this thread ... as "dangerous foods " hope it helps |
ohhh and another thing thats important... changing your puppy's food to much can cause diarrea so you have to be carefull ..if he does ... i feed mine a teaspoon of pumpkin purree... |
Yes i have tried different kibble but they don't have samples here and it is expensive to keep buying different foods that she won't eat. I only gave her a little sweet potatoes. I also read the dangerous food list. |

Sweet potatoes are fine for dogs....maybe the PLANT part isn't, but the potato is. I have a nutritionist from Cornell who is also a vet (both degrees, practicing in nutrition), and he formulated Bella's diet to be balanced and safe for her (she has liver issues). Her carbohydrate is either white potato, sweet potato, or a mixture of the 2...she didn't like the brown rice we tried first. And he said that though it is high in manganese, her diet is high in other minerals that counteract the manganese, so I don't need to worry about that. |
Picky eating is sometimes a sign of liver problems, btw, so you may want to have her blood tested....both a chem panel and a bile acid test (which is 2 tests, one before eating and one 2 hours after eating). Liver disease is 31 times more likely in Yorkies than in any other breed. |
