I feed his 2 times a day, and before, I was leaving kibble out for him while I was gone during the day. I am concerned he may loose weight, and get sick. Any tricks to get him to eat more and stop the burying of the food? I would stop w/ the raw (for now, again, not starting a food fight, I just wouldn't want him thinking he can save it for later, the other dogs getting to it, yada, yada.) I would NOT leave food sitting, again, he'll just graze and think he can go back later. I would try feeding him in a crate with a really good eater crated next to him. He gets his food offered for 20 minutes, then pick it up and put it away. Or better yet, if you have a really cooperative good eater, let the old dog pick for 20 minutes, then take it out of his crate and feed it to the good eater and let him watch <G>. (Don't anybody get on my case re food aggression, I want an old dog to eat.) You don't mention how old he is, but I'm guessing along the way somebody ran him through the vet's. and that you've ruled out maybe he doesn't feel good.
