A picky eater - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I have the same problem, my yorkie is super picky and part of it is because my parents give bowls to lick and scraps of food. My mom is really bad about it. I wish I could train my parents... I may have to try harder to get them to stop doing that. We are going to try Blue Buffalo food for Bentley. Parents are out at the store(s) this afternoon so I'll put some down when they get home. I think I should put it down, wait 15 minutes and pick it up for 2 hours. If that doesn't work for a week, then I'll add some low fat plain yogurt to it. He likes yogurt. I don't know what else to do. He's done this his whole life (3 years).. Refuses to eat unless it's tuna from a can or table scraps... GRR.. Good luck!

I looked for the Brothers dog food today and couldn't find it. Where did you get it? I noticed Nutro has a grain free I may try it next

You can only get Brothers Complete online at a place called thedoggystore.com in florida. Go to brotherscomplete.com to read about the product. I had to make sure Gracie was getting nothing else before she started to change her mind about dog food. Once she knew she was not getting anything else she started to cave in.
