Spicing up food for picky baby Ok. So I feed my dog dry dog food. Amara. I recently tried Acana Pacifica. And when I first got the food she was stoked about it. Now she's just all like blah. This again. So I wanted to try maybe rotation feeding. I thought about rotating between the Acana foods. But when I went to get more samples they only had pacifica. :( Which was a huge bummer. So I got a small 5.5 oz can of Nature's Variety Instinct Chicken(BPA HUGE CONCERN FOR MY BABY) to mix with the Acana Pacifica. Smells delicious to me. But Amara? She ate a little out of bowl and kept it moving. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I want her to be excited at meal time. Like when I cook for myself. Its weird. Like she's gets totally excited when I cook for myself. And the funny thing is she'll eat the food mixture out of my hand but not the bowl!!!!:confused: I think it also could be the fact that normally she only gets wet food when she's sick and needs medicine. Or either maybe the change is too sudden and she's unsure and only trust my hands. I don't know. But hopefully. Since the recalls are now out and people are more aware. Maybe I can try the rotation. I don't know. Any suggestions???? |
I used to get cans of Weruva chicken and would put about a teaspoon in Riley's food. He would go nuts! Weruva - People Food for Pets I feed Riley Acana kibble one meal and Frozen Premade raw the other meal. I have a bag of the Acana/Pacifica, right now and I recently bought a bag of the Natures Variety Organic Chicken. He was doing so well on it that I have been feeding him raw both meals. He has environmental allergies and he really thrives on it. |
That sounds awesome. I'm happy you found something that works for your baby. But I have good news. She loved it. I gave her some more time and she was so enthusiastic about eating. She loved it. :) Isn't raw kinda dangerous? Samonella. I thought about feeding raw but I really have no idea about dogs like other experienced owners. |

Nope! I attended two different seminars. One from a Primal raw rep. and one from a Nature's Variety rep. They both do HPP which squeezes out any bad bacteria. The only reason I keep feeding the Acana Kibble is because I travel quite a bit and the kibble is easier to travel with. But when I am home I will feed him raw both meals... or kibble one and raw the other... just depends. |

I had to resort to adding a spoonful of canned food to Sasha's dry kibble because she just refused to eat it plain one day. Has worked wonders ever since I've started it. She greatly looks forward to her meals and scarfs them down. |

I have the same problems with my picky eater. I have tried several things. Currently, I am mixing about 6 little pieces of baked chicken breast into her kibble which is Natures Variety and Fromm mixed with weruva. She doesn't seem to want to eat dry kibble much I give her a little piece of chicken just to get the taste buds going. I also add omega 3 oil, a probiotic and a powder to help break down the plaque on her teeth. I have also tried cottage cheese, pumpkin, yogurt, shredded cheese. I just found this new food called Real Meat Pet Food. It is kind of like softer kibble. I think it is pretty good food. Made in the US from real good US ingredients. I sometimes go nuts figuring out what might entice her to eat. She eats once in the morning and again at night. I also leave dry kibble out all the time just in case, but she hardly every eats much of it. Good luck. |
