haha.... well... leo won't eat unless we give him something else mixed in with his dog food... hes even starting to slow down on eating the hot dog and will refuse to eat any sort of dog treats or dog food... spoiled dog....

the only minor health issue he has had was throwing up occasionally which lasted for about a week and he was throwing up bile because of him not eating. today he was crying to me, thinking he was hungry i tried a couple of treats we had bought and he wont eat any. so not only will he not eat his regular meals, no treats either. eating is a serious problem for him

Have you tried cooking him plain ole' chicken and mixing it in with his food?

Also, what treats are you giving him? Jackson's always been VERY particular with his treats but he loves the Wellness treats (they're soft little squares). He also loves these tiny little Bil Jac treats that aren't really "good" for them but they're so tiny and I use them for training. He loves them.

I've seen Victoria on Animal Planet suggest it warmed. I'm guessing it shouldn't be the main source of food but as a warmed treat I think it would be okay.

has he been bile acid tested as some dogs who have liver issues will not eat as protein makes them sick so they refuse to eat -- it is not normal for a dog not to want to eat so sometimes there is an underlying issue and this breed is 38% more likely to have liver shunts than other breeds so i would get the bile acids done to make sure the liver is functioning properly especially if he is less than 2 years old

i have tried snausages, beggin strips, training treats, purebites, and canine carrie outs.... and the dog food that i give him is Royal Canin

i tried merrits brauts and tots canned food and mixed that in with the royal canin and he didnt really want it... we gave him chicken and he ate it as soon as we put it out and finished it all.... yorkies are so picky..

any suggestions of treats that get even the pickiest dogs crazy about them?
