I tried the powdered Parmesan on my little Izzie today and it worked. She ate her food this morning and this afternoon-the first time in a long time. I was so thankful. Thanks for that suggestion. I had never heard of that before.

Thank you for the update. That is such GREAT news.

Glad the cheese worked, but I must stress that only a very small sprinkle should be used as it is a milk product and fatty, both of which would not be good for a Yorkie except in small quantities. I think dogs only need a slight smell of the additive to get them eating. My previous dog was a picky eater and it only took the slightest sprinkle of the PC to get her to eat. To get her to drink more, I would place a tiny piece of boiled chicken in the water and she would drink! Dogs!!!!

Yes, I only used a very light sprinkle. I've always wondered if the reason she is such a picky eater is because she has a smell issue. She is a teacup and has a very small nose. Since she got pneumonia from bordetella vaccine I have had trouble trying to get her to eat. I should have the Royal Canin Monday and anxious to see if she likes it.

Good to hear. You could be right about her sense of smell, as dogs are so sensitive to smell. Hoping the new RC food is to her liking. But it could be that she needs a little extra something to get her to start eating any food. Hoping to hear good news about her appetite.
You sure have tried everything!!
