I presume you've tried the usual tricks of pouring warm gravy or warm
chicken broth over his kibble. I've gotten them to eat, also, by cooking good
old
hamburger in a frying pan,letting it cool somewhat and mixing with his kibble.
Are his teeth still okay? If he has sore gums or an infected tooth,he might
have trouble chewing hard kibble,Then you might have to put the kibble-
hamburger mix in a blender ,like for puppies. Some dogs like the fish smell and
taste. You can try Tuna fish mix also. But have your Vet check out his mouth.
With age,they can get bad teeth and gum infections like humans --- Helen
