MemberThank you Susan. Iām not opposed to cooking for him as I have the time now that Iām retired. Iāll look into the information you gave me and give it a try. My only concern would be if we go someplace, but Iām sure some of these meals can be frozen for taking along. Iāve never owned a picky dog so this is really stressful as I just want him to be happy and enjoy his food. Iāve given most of the kibble away so at least it wasnāt wasted. Iām not an expert like many who visit this site so I appreciate any advice that might help. This dog is so sweet and I want to make sure heās healthy and happy.

MemberIām checking back with yet another feeding issue and an update. After my problems with trying to get Taffy to eat a kibble food, I gave up and found Freshpet rolled food (refridgerated). He ate it with vigor for about 3 weeks and then decided he didnāt want it anymore. Since I have 2 rolls on my fridge, I started mixing in a little bit of various high quality canned food to try to get him to eat it. He reluctantly eats a bit if I sit on the floor and feed him with a fork. After this has gone on for a week, yesterday I took Taffy to the vet because he just seemed rather down and not as active. The vet did a blood check and looked at all his levels (various but not exactly sure which ones). Vet said his blood work is normal. He also looked at his ears, paws, spine, anal glands, eyes, etc. In general, the vet canāt see any medical reason for the sudden pickiness. He said it was okay to give scrambled eggs (my idea). Taffy ate scrambled eggs twice yesterday, and although I got him to eat a mixture of Freshpet and canned food for breakfast, he wouldnāt touch it for dinner. So I broke down and gave him a scrambled egg tonight. He has actually gained .7 pound in the last 6 weeks, but that was due to finding Freshpet and his prior vigorous eating. Since he only weighs 10 pounds, Iām worried about him not getting enough nutrition as heās pretty active. Now Iām back to square one on the feeding situation. Any ideas on what to try next? He still wonāt eat kibble. I have tried at least 5 types and probably 7-8 types of canned, all high quality. Since heās so active, loves to go on walks, etc. I assume he doesnāt have any health issues. The vet says his teeth are also great. Iām really worried and frustrated.

MemberThanks so much for your advice. I spent most of last night reading about āfeeding issuesā. Before I went to bed I put 1/4 cup kibble in the fridge with a little water to soak. This morning I mixed it with a little wet food and he ate it! Not all of it, but most. Picked up the leftover and will try again this evening. I definitely will have his teeth checked today, taking in a poop sample also. Iām going to attempt the tooth brushing, thanks for the great advice. Stay tuned. . . .
