| What does this mean? My girl will only eat scraps of my boy's. She won't eat unless it's a piece of a bigger piece of his kibble. She eats but not a lot. We never fed her table scrap, but every time we eat, she will come up and beg. I read other threads on here that said that if you never feed them table scrap, they never beg...Why is she like this? |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Have you tried a different food? Maybe mixing it with a little wet food? She may just be a picky eater. Is she under weight? I have 2 that have never had table food and they never beg. Cali had some chicken and hamburger when she was younger and wouldn't eat so she does beg still. Hope others have some suggestions.

| I don't know if she's underweight. I think she is proportional for her body mass. She is 3 lbs at 5 months. She does eat but doesn't eat a lot like my boy. If I give her some parts of kibble that he chewed. she will eat it. I'm not sure if it's a dominance thing. I heard that he eats then she can eat. However, after he ate, she's still not eating... |

| Mine will try to sneak some of my food, and will look at me for a bit, but then get bored. I've never ever fed fer off of my plate, so I think it's just the smell they are attracted to. |
