Picky eaters

Does anyboby know how to get a picky eater to eat better?

maybe/ somtimes vitamins will help. i normally wet dogs food and they are fussy about eating it dry.. . in real hot weather or after running very hard they may not eat for awhile.. if dogs not real thin i just wait it out... you can entice them to eat with canned food but this just makes them more picky.

I used to have the same problem. What I found worked out good is to switch their food brand. I would get sick of eating the same thing everyday! That pretty much took care of the problem with my dogs.

i KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN,,,,,,,I HAVE TO CHANGE MY GIRLS CEREAL ABOUT ONCE EVRY 2 WEEKS!!!TCB

I mix cracklins I buy at a local slaughter house. Just about any dog will eat them. Of course, the pack that I feed are like pigs and will eat just about anything.

Change dog food and/or add an egg to his food

you may switch to a better -meat based- feed....

vet usually says not to switch on a regular basis...find something they like and stick with it....

I have put bacon grease on dry food to get them to start liking the feed...

Chances are if it is a -good- feed even picky eaters will eat it...

My dogs will eat about anything but here in the last week or two all three of them has slacked way off on how much they eat due to the heat I guess. I wouldn't worry too much about it as hot as it is this time of the year.
