Bella loves her food, she eats eukanuba natural puppy lamb and rice formula, and then at night we mix about a teaspoon of the caesars puppy wet food in with her dry and she inhales that!

The vet recommended I 'ignore it' and see how she did. Yup, after about 2 days she gave in and ate her kibble with such love.........she licked the bowl.......lol

Yorkies may suffer from hypoglycemia so I would recommend supplementing a little nutrical and wait til she gets very hungry. I believe they are like children.......very smart and know what THEY want.

I know many won't agree with me, but I am just sharing my experience.
It's been 24 hours and I haven't fed her Cesar. She hasn't eating anything since yesterday though. But for some reason she's really bouncy! So I guess she still has energy. She does get mad though and growls at me because she knows it's feeding time and I'm not giving her cesars. I hope she learns.

Both my dogs hate every kind of dog food in the world - and especially dislike dry food.

But I have noticed if I sometimes just let them get good and hungry - they will actually eat some of the dry food. But, believe me, they have to be starving to do this.

I really need to stop feeding my dogs so many treats (even if they are good food) and let them get hungrier - so they'll eat what I want to feed them.

They act like they're too good for dog food - and they're not - they're dogs!

Haha! Carol, that's so funny! My dog is the same way. Right now it's been two days since I haven't feed her any Ceasars and wow, she hates me. but she is eating her kibble even though it's only a few pieces.

Morgan will sometimes not eat after she gets a wet food treat. i just continue feeding her the dry food at her regular scheduled time and eventually she will eat it. you just can't give in to what they want. dogs aren't stupid, they won't starve themself. when they get hungry enough they will eat whatever is provided for them.

Well put! I definitely agree! They won't starve themselves. I just hope she gets to a point where she'll start liking her dry food.

Omg no Cesar = behavioral problems

It's been about three days now since I haven't given my Coco Cesar and have been feeding her dry kibbles. And she only eats maybe three if she's really hungry. But lately, I've noticed a change in her attitude. She's actually peeing in places where she's not suppose to. I feel like she's doing it intenrionally. Today when I turned off the light in my room and walked away, she peed when I wasn't looking. Another same incident happened when I was in the kitchen. As soon as I turned my back on her, she pees inches away from her pee pee pad.

Is she doing this for spite because I'm not feeding her "Cesar." When I take her outside to potty, all she wants to do is hunt for food, or eat shrubs and twigs. I feel like she actually likes the taste of these things than her dry food. I saw undigested twigs in her stool today.

I tried everything to sprinkling her dry doog with cheese, sauce, her treat, but she'll pick only at those or sucks on the kibble and spit it out. I feel like this is developing into behavioral problems because she's now pretending to chew her kibble and them runs away to spit it out.

Any help would be appreciated.

I really doubt these little furbabies are capable of spite. Maybe it's just a stage? Don't go by me, I learn as I go. Gizmo has been on i/d for quite a while as he has problems with HGE and Pancreatitis. I picked up some of the canned and dry Chicken Soup at the feed store (nobody else around here sells it) after reading up on it and have had no problems and he seems to like it a lot. He eats a little wet in the morning and evening, I leave dry out during the day..he eats both. Good luck.

Default Picky eaters

Life's Abundance is cooked frequently, in small batches, and shipped direct to you so it is always fresh....which helps with picky eaters. Most other foods are cooked in huge batches to fill warehouses and stores all over the country subsequently most are not fresh when you feed it.

My very picky Lab Mix loves it. We tried them all and this is the only one she has gotten excited about when it is feeding time. When she hears me scooping it and putting it in her bowl she comes running. Monty, my Yorkie, loves it, he is a gobbler, but we learned how to slow him down.

Give it a try, if your pups don't like it one phone call and you will get your money back.
