    I never understand people saying their dogs are picky. If they get hungry enough they will eat anything.

    My cocker will skip days. So I tried making meals of people food and she would refuse that until I locked her in the kennel until she was done. Yet she will not eat if I didn’t make it good enough. So I am frustrated now because it is always a battle

    Thanks for this insightful Video. We have a Shih Tzu named Mr Teddy Bundy that we rescued 2 years ago, He's just over 3 years old now. A week ago he was having trouble defecating & not eating. Earliest Vet appointment was the following morning. Overnight he chewed open his right Anal Sac. The Vet examined and treated Teddy (sent us home with a Pain Rx that he had an adverse reaction to) and recommended that we get a Cone of Shame for him. Teddy still not eating or defacating the following morning and bad reaction lessened overnight (I chose to discontinue the Pain Rx), we returned to the Vet and dropped him off. we got a call that he was healing fine and that they wanted our permission to try giving him some wet food (which he devoured). We took a couple of cans home with us which he also has devoured one can (half at a time with several hours between servings / second half can mixed in with his Dry Food which he picked out and did't eat). He finally is defecating normally but still refusing to eat his Royal Canin Shih Tzu Dry Food that has been his sole Diet fro more than 2 years. This morning just before Noon, I tried mixing his Dry Food with a Raw Egg, he devoured the Egg and licked the Kibbles Clean. I plan on holding out as you've suggested at least until the following day... Does Dr. Sammy or anyone else have any suggestions to overcome Teddy's will power to hold out? Update: this afternoon (following day) Mr Bundy gave in and began eating his dry food. Randy AKA randog311

      Ditch the crap highly processed kibble and prepare your dog quality home cook fresh meat,veg,eggs,fish,sweet potoato ect!kibble is not good for your dog it's convenience food that's why so many dogs have so many health issues same as humans that eat junk food become ill...

    What I am worried about is my dog become thinner because of being a picky eater. If I will let her not eat for several days she will become more thin. Could I ask your opinion about that?

    I have two mini golden doodle’s. The person we got them from told us that the one puppy was the runt. We have so much trouble getting her to eat she is 6 months old. She is skin and bones. She will eat treats and pretty much very little food.

    • @stars_for_night_lights

      Get some goats milk. It's great for them and their gut health. At least you know she's going to be getting nutrition while you figure out the solution.

    Thank you for this video! 😡 I'm the problem (no table food). i have cats, and she tends to eat their wet food (raw diet) left overs.
    I've spent a few 100 dollars on different types of food, and thanks to you, I now know the real issue.

  • @shireennoroozi5821
    @shireennoroozi5821 Před rokem +2

    Ok but what if you have a very large breed puppy who will go like 4 days without eating? Then maybe eat like half 1/4 a serving and go back to not eating for another 4 days. Even without giving scraps. Even after withholding treats and chews. Even after adding bone broth or cheese or move on to cooking fresh food and then still that's not up to snuff. And then what if she's 20lbs behind in her growth?

    My dog vomits when it doesn't eat, she always has since I got her. She is currently not eating, or holding out for something better but vomits as a result. Is it still okay to hold out? Or should I try to find dog food that tastes better?

    Im guilty of this, but now my 6 month old schnauzer doesn’t want to eat dog food or human food. He only wants treats and drinks lots of water. When no treats are given, he doesn’t eat and throws up liquid. Idk what else to do, I’ve tried different types of food 😭. In need of help

      Give him goat's milk. It's very good for them overall and especially good for their gut health. I'm in the same situation because I gave treats as a reward for him going potty. Then made things even worse by giving him cooked chicken and steak. Now he refuses his kibble and yesterday he threw up white foam. Time for tough love.

    My problem with my Maltese is that if she skips a meal she starts to vomit bile so I can’t allow her to skip a meal. I feed her in the morning and evening. I’m the only feeder and have to pull a rabbit from a hat in creating something she likes. I mix something like pumpkin with her dry kibbles to attract her, then she licks of every kibble🫣 as an example, or she just gets totally board with the taste and I have to invent something else. I guess my problem is that I can’t ignore when she skips a meal due to the vomiting and are forced to give something else or feed her from my hand!

      Run diagnostics and make sure you're not missing an underlying problem. Every patient is different and some require small frequent meals throughout the day.... anxiety, stress, reflux issues

    • @Tamaris84
      @Tamaris84 Před 7 měsíci

      Same here. My dachshund is extremely stubborn. He’s a senior, he needs frequent meals in order not to vomit bile (his blood work is fine, but we’ve battled pancreatitis for 2 years, finally his values came out perfect), but he just won’t eat his food and he vomits and then out of my fear of him puking I pamper him and it’s a very vicious circle!
