Have had a few picky eaters over the years. Checking her out
with the vet is, of course, the right thing and the first
thing. But if there is no disease issue, then here's our
program - some of which they are already doing:
1. Do not fee feed. Anticipation and being hungry is good
for both man and dog.
2. Try different supplements in the food to find one that it
preferred by the dog. We have one that will not eat chicken,
only beef. It is genetic. He got it from me!
3. Make a Doris Estabrook cake. Doris gave us the receipt
many, many years ago -
Put a package of beef liver in a blender, add a couple of
eggs, some salt, milk and Bisquick. Blend (consistency of a
cake batter) and pour in a cake pan. Bake at 300-350 for 30
minutes or until cooked through much like any cake you make.
If you only buy your cakes, shame on you! You will not find
this in the local bakery!
4. Sprinkle a bit of the cake over their food and stand
back!
Hope it works for you.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] need advice- finicky eater
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 we
ight. 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
