What to Do When Your Dog Is a Picky Eater
A dog who refuses to eat his or her food can be quite frustrating, but a picky pooch can be encouraged to develop healthier eating habits.
To help a picky eater develop proper eating habits:
Don’t give your pet food from table. Instead, feed or treat him or her from a separate area from where you and the family eat. To make this successful, make sure everyone in your home knows to adopt this method of feeding and treating.
Keep your pet’s food separate from your own so your dog doesn’t get the idea that he can eat whatever seems tastiest at the time.
Feed your dog on a consistent schedule so he knows when to expect his next meal. People like variety, but consistency is the key to developing a dog’s healthy eating habits.
Remember that pets have different taste preferences just like people do. Your pet’s picky eating may be his way of telling you that a new brand of food, or format (raw, dehydrated, kibble, or can) might be in order.
Most cases of picky eating are not a cause for concern if your pet is active and at a healthy body weight. However, a trip to the vet is in order if you notice that your pet is losing weight and/or seems lethargic. In this instance, picky eating might be a sign of a medical problem that needs to be addressed.
