i hav a 15 month old (bitch) and shes very fussy when comes to eatin, she eats but mainly turns her nose up at most things. i buy her oxes liver and heart, and leave her biscuits out most of the time but rarely eats it and just picks at it any reccommends

do you leave her food down or do you pick it up after 20 mins

if you leave it down stop

put it down for 20 mins then put it in the bin

she will soon learn to eat it all

yeh tryed that as she turned stubborn and i had to give in eventually and leave it down so she would eat

Hi Tarly,
Dray is also fairly fussy.
Have a look at some of Julie's recipes on her page (soverenstaff). They are all natural and easy to make. Dray did not want to eat the ingredients cooked but will eat his meat raw with some fish oil, LSA and Garlic added. i make sure he gets plenty of variety in his bones. I give him RAW turkey necks, chicken necks and frames, brisket bones and marrow bones. ALL RAW Be careful with the marrow bone and make sure you remove it when the ends (knuckles) have been chewed off. It can be very trying when your fur baby dosen't want to eat. You will eventually find something for her. I also buy a different type of dry biscuit each time as he seems to get bored with the same ones all the time. hope this helps as I know what it is like to have a fussy eater

put the food down if it is not eaten within 5mins pickit up and continue like this untill the dog eats it, your dog will not starve it self. do not start to switch and change the food as chances are you will up set your dogs stomach,never leave food down, if your dog is not unwell and not eating you are probably feeding it to much cut back by half then gradually increase until the dog eats it all straight away

my staff is a very fussy eater too, we went through loads of types of dog food and we tried taking the food away and sometimes he didn't eat a thing for 2-3 days. He soon learnt that he was getting nothing else!

The more choices you give them the more they will push you, they are a very clever breed. Don't give your dog any human food and make sure you have your meal before you feed them. My dog is still fussy but he knows if he doesn't eat the dog food he will get nothing else until the next meal time.

 

He is also not a greedy dog and doesn't eat a lot but is not underweight so we are not concerned.

My Bitch used to be fussy eater (17 months old) and I made the mistake of leaving her food down and changing it.
I started pciking the bowl up and throwing it away after 15 minutes
She is now back on Royal canine and loves it and always clears her bowl (even if the kids are playing with it)

hello one of mine was a fussy eater tried everything so i changed to raw food ie ckicken wings,veg,tripe,bones everything raw and she now eats like a pig.The other will eat anything raw or cooked
