I need some ideas from the list. I received a call about a dog I sold. She is
being a finicky eater resulting in her being underweight not god awful but
still underweight. She is a very active girl, house dog. They did switch her
food from what she was eating when I had her but they said she started this a
few days after they got her so she was getting picky on the food I had her on.
The vet has done blood work and everything looks fine, she acts fine just a
really picky eater. They do feed her dry and just leaves it there throughout
the day. So I told them to pick it up after 20 minutes and not to give her
anything until the next feeding and to soak it a bit and incorporate some can
food to make it tastier. Also told them to put her on a performance food with
higher fat content etc. Gave them a few more suggestions but would like to
hear anything you might have found that works as well so we can get her eating
better which I am sure will then help her put on some weight. I have had dogs
go off their feed and be picky here and there but not a constant ritual.
If they give her people food to help her eat she eats around the kibble to get
to the good stuff.
Thanks in advance
