Spolied lol! Definitely they should pick her food up after 20 minutes.
Have them STOP w/ the people food. (Bet they won't! Anybody want to take
that bet?????)
Performance food, a spoon full of canned meat, offer 2-3 x a day.
BTW she wasn't getting picky on the food you had her on. No siblings to
compete for food, new environment, food down all the time, goodies...I just
HATE when people can't follow directions and HAVE to switch food. Now they
can deal with their dog holding out for something better.

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
