I have an extremely picky eater, a 14 year old Maltese. All of your stories sound so familiar, it is so frustrating dealing with a picky eater.

Six months ago, I started feeding her Nature's Variety raw, and she wolfs it down! Not once in 6 months has she turned her nose up at it, and she begs for it. She eats it immediately. I wish I had found raw food sooner.

Pinicky Eater
 

Thank goodness that I am not the only one gavubg this frustrating problem. I have a 4 month old and I guess I spoiled it too much that now I am having a problem letting him eat his regular dry food. It started when he came to Canada from AK, USA. He had diarrhea and was prescribed canned food which he totally loved. He was also able to taste cat food and from that time on ward he doesn't want to eat dry food but canned food. Wasnting my puppy to eat dry food as well I would mix 1 tablespoon of canned food with the dry food and he would eat it. But he get tired of it so being the worrying type I would buy other canned food as he has grown not to eat the ones I bought. He would eat this flavor for a day and tomorrow won;t eat it anymore wanting a new change in taste. Tried Nature Varitety's raw food which he totally doesn't like, Evo, Innova, Merrick, Nature's Homestyle, Instinct. Most of the good premium food I have tried. I dont knwo what to do. SHould I be firm and take out his food if he doesn't want to eat knowing that he will eat when he gets hungry with or without canned food. I am at a loss. Hoping to get your suggestion.
Ally recommended Solud Gold Tripe but the food is not available in Canada. I bought a Tripet Tripe do give today. I am not sure if he will eat it. Luckily the pet store I go to dies exchanges on food opened. Would I need a supplement?

he shoud definetely eat the trippett; dogs love it; but it's too rich and might give him diaherea so u need to add a little (1 teaspoon) to his other food. it could be dry or canned. nothing wrong with feeding only canned food if that's why the dog wants to eat. however don't change too many types of food because it will make him more picky eater and it will cause digestive problems in the long run. good luck

the sundancer grain free food from solid gold is great for picky eaters, chester has done great on it

For our Bella, I have to mix in 1/2 teaspoon of cottage cheese or yorgurt in with her kibble........she eats it up.

Well I have a 14 month old and I had the same problem. Turns out, I was the problem! If she didnt eat right away I would RUN to try something else. Five different dog foods, boiled chicken, wellness wet, fresh pet, carrots, romain lettuce, yogurt, cottage cheese, fresh turkey..you name it. She even stopped drinking water out of a bowl so I ended up mixing her daily water needs into her food to make a gravy! She had me good..
Anyway, I was giving her alot of veggie treats and occ bully stick during the day thinking I was quite the nutritional food expert. What I ended up giving her was diarreah!
Thanks to a great yorkie mom I stopped all that, gave her only boiled chicken and pumpkin for 5 days got rid of the diareah and started fresh. NO more treats during the day, none. I started her back on her royal canin calm kibble, put in some boiled chicken and put it down..She was starving so she ate all! I now only give her her kibble with chicken or a few bits of steak or turkey on it. Occasionally I give her a teaspoon of cottage cheese with her dry kibble. Thats it! Her treats are the same as her food. Bits of chicken or turkey or cottage cheese. NOTHING else. She now drinks water out of her bowl.
I think we rush to make sure they are okay so they get us turned inside out giving them anything or everything. It actually works against us. Keep some nutrical on hand for the really stubborn ones (you can rub it on their gums if they refuse to lick it)and hopefully they will come around..
