| Transition from canned to dry? Hey everyone, we are slowly transitioning Lola from human food to canned food. As stated earlier from my other thread, Lola was with my gf's parents for about a year and they had her on human food. (chicken, potatoes, vegies). We recently got her back and we made the decision to put her back on real dog food. Ideally we want her on dry dog food, but she's such a picky eater we decided to try canned food since it's "sort of" like human food, well the consistency of it at least. We're getting some progress with the canned food, I've got about 6-8 different kinds of canned food. So far she's liking Natures Variety Instinct Chicken Flavor but we have a few more we want to try out. My question is, once she gets used to canned food will it be easier to transition her to dry dog food? Our plan is whatever canned food she loves, we'll get the dry dog food version of it. Will that be an easier transition for her? RIght now she won't even go near dry food. |

| You might get her used to eating dry by mixing some of the dry with the canned and gradually eliminating the canned. I wish you luck yorkies can be picky eaters anyway and shes been used to human food so shes gonna be extra picky
