How To Get A Picky Dog To Eat Kibbles? I Did It In 4 Days!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 มิ.ย. 2024
- Genie the Goldendoodle went on a mini hunger strike last week, probably because I gave her too many treats recently and now she refuses to eat her kibbles. I had to put her on a schedule to fix this unwanted behavior and to get her back on eating dry food again.
Genie's regular diet consists of kibbles + freeze dried meat, can food once in a while with occasional treats. She is a slow eater, I usually leave the food out for her so she can eat whenever. But on this scheduled diet, things has to be done a little differently, I will only give her 10 mins to eat, if she is not finished by the 10 min mark, I will take the food away from her. I only gave her about half of what she normally eats per meal, so she would be hungry for her next meal, in the meantime, make sure she gets enough exercise. It's ok for dogs to not eat for a few days, but make sure they drink plenty of water. If your dog does not eat or drink anything for a few days, please contact your vet.

OMG, my dog gives me that same look and very picky as well..Bless their little diva hearts
😂 😂 😂
SAME HE LOOKS AT ME JUST LIKR FHAT it’s so funny
Diva hearts 🤣🤣🤣
Kibbles Are NOT GOOD FOR DOGS . THEY NEED MEAT!
@@GenietheGoldendoodleso the trick mam is to make her hungry until she has no option but to eat her kibble? 😆
Omg the struggle is real! haha. I'm going through the same problem with with new puppy, thanks for the video, I feel better now.
Me too. He looks at his food and walks right past it. He would rather walk around the house to see if my 2 year old dropped some food
My Frenchie is like this too. Who said Frenchie's would gobble anything. Mine didn't. Lol. I'll try this. It's my fault for always giving in with my Frenchie's puppy eye look. Lol
@@vincentplan3473 how did it turn out? my frenchie is 8 months old and has been giving me a super hard time, i’ve tried many things.. treats in the food, raw topper, boiled egg, hot water, chicken broth, still not eating like he should this is the last thing i haven’t tried was taking his food away… plz give me your feed back!
This is me. The is a real struggle with a dog with a big personality. They will try to wait you out. I have to be consistent, thanks for this.
thanks for posting, hoping there's light at the end of the tunnel for us too. my goldendoodle is on day 2 morning of the hungry strike
Genie is adorable, and so gentle how she take s the quail
Hey how is it going?
I can’t relate more! Cece used to be a super picky and slow eater so I totally get how frustrating it is! I actually find Genie’s stubborness super cute lol, I laughed when I look at her poker face when mommy put her food away. And also eating all the freeze dried pieces and left the kibbles lololol that’s what Cece used to do before too! I’m glad that Genie is fine too - got a bit worried when you said that she has a pump on her hip.
It was a really big bump, her hair was getting longer so I didn’t find out about it until last week and I freaked out, I pressed it then the next day it started bleeding. Turns out to be a big cyst and I guess I popped it😅 she just finished her meds today! And she’s pretty good on eating her food for the past couple of days so I started handing out treats again😀 and a lot more treats on the way!
wow! We're going through the exact same thing, even spoon-feeding her. We put her food in front of her and she just looks at us lol and won't touch it. Her father was totally different, he would devour and gulp down his food and will attempt to steal hers too haha. I guess the tough love approach is needed. Today we'll start not giving her treats and taking away her food after 15 minutes, until the next meal. Her own survival instincts will make her eat her kibble.
same here, I'm now adding wet food to her kibble but she's spitting the kibble out
How did it go? Did it work in the end?
@@j.w.1619 forreal i need answers!
@@j.w.1619 didn’t work for us in the end. My guy refused to eat kibble for 7 days and the vet said it’s too long to keep holding out. We are back to adding half a can of wet food each meal
@@HesTooFresh it didn’t work for us, my guy held our for 7 days without eating kibble and the vet said it was too long to keep waiting him out. We are back to adding half a can of wet food mixed into the kibble
Dry food means they also need lots of water. Lots! It is very dehydrating. I don’t think people are given enough of a warning about how dehydrating it can be. She is absolutely adorable.
Thanks for posting this. My Havanese is the same way your dog was. We tried this method before, but we failed at withholding snacks when he’d beg us with his body language / eyes and then we cracked and gave in during Day 2 and started feeding him what he liked. This video has reinvigorated us to try again but with better self-discipline.
you gotta stay strong, it's for their better health
This was so super helpful, thank you so much
my pomeranian is little miss picky but shes also a stingy and selfish little girl. so when she wont eat all i have to do is start vacuuming the floor and she runs and gobbles all her food cuz she dont want the vacuum to get her food even though she didnt want ti in the first place. its the funniest thing to see and works 100% every time
Very helpful video! Thank you for this
Bless her heart
Thanks for sharing this ❤
Thank you so much for sharing! My puppy has been picky for months and gives me the exact same look. I've been losing my mind trying to figure out what on earth is the problem. I've changed food at least 3 times. I'm going to try this and cross my fingers! ☺️
Did it work? I’m in the same boat of adding raw, canned, meat, just to have mine turn his nose up at it after a few meals each!
@@j.w.1619 It actually worked in making him eat more but he still didn't finish all his food. I actually found out it was because he was just too lazy to use a slow food bowl, so switching back to a regular bowl made him eat everything again 😅
@@MarilynnMonster great to know! I’ll try this method on my guy too. But it makes me so sad when he doesn’t want to eat his food then be stares at me when I eat! I guess I’ll just have to be strong and persevere!
Thank you sooo much for your video. I have been having the identical problem with my 2 year old Havanese who will eat her treats but not her kibble! I had been doing exactly what you did for 2 days now and was wondering if I was on the right track. THANK YOU for your video … confirmation.
Did it work? I’m in the same boat and about to try this too.
Genie is the cutest 🥺🥺🥺
My dog are like this. Even when I mixed wet food she used to eat just the wet food and leave the kibble. How I fixed that is I soaked the kibble in water and after the kibble got soft, I mashed it and then mixed wet food in it. Now that the whole kibble is wet food flavored, she eats the whole thing
That’s another way to fix it, lots of extra work but if it works for your pup it works!
Lol! That face “no mom I’m not eating that” 😂 my dog does the same face
So would you if you were asked to eat that stuff
I am so happy I found your video today. I totally relate and it's the issue I'm having with my Sally. Please tell me the kibble that you use and also where you get the rabbit burgers and the quail treats. I had no idea to even look for stuff like that for my Sally.
Hi, you can get a variety of freeze dried food and treats in independent pet stores locally, chewy and amazon also carry some brands but not all. Some freeze dried brands I really like are: Vital Essentials, Open Farm, Dr.Marty’s, Primal, Woof, etc. The quail treats were from Korea and it was bit harder to get, but you can find similar treats from the brand Freeze Dry Australia, where they also have quail necks, and other exotic treats for dogs!
As for the kibbles, tbh I have been feeding Genie non-kibble diet for a while now if you check out my later videos, but back then I try to get the best brands, which imo was Orijen, open farm, Acana and Fromm.
@@GenietheGoldendoodle thank you so much for your kind recommendations. It really helps.
The Dog Hunger Games
I think she likes it more when the freeze dried food is rehydrated
This was super helpful! I’m on day 4 pup (11 year old Japanese Akita - super stubborn) held out for a day and a half and ate her food and then held out for another day and a half before eating again. Did yours also do this at first as you were working through this strategy or did it start eating every meal immediately following the first feed after hunger strike?
Genie would still occasionally skip her meals after it worked first, I just do the same and take her food away and she would start eating the next meal. This phase lasted about a year (skipping meals randomly but usually doesn’t last over a day), now she is very good about eating her food as soon as I put it down
I'll have to try this. Otto has gotten super picky. He wouldn't eat kibble even with toppers. So I started cooking for him but then he wouldn't even eat that some days. Now I've subscribed to a dog food delivery service and even with that he's barely eating it. The struggle is real.
Some dogs are more stubborn than others, Genie gave up in 4 days to start eating everything I gave it to her, but I know some might be longer. Just make sure they have enough water and exercise they would eventually gave up😅 and definitely no treats in between during the time. Good luck!
@@GenietheGoldendoodle Treats is the big thing. We usually walk off leash at the park in the morning and so I give him treats every time he comes when I call him. Also we do agility classes so again more treats. But I'll just have to stand firm and do no treats for a while and see how that goes. I actually took him to the vet last Sunday because I was so worried something might be wrong.
@@straightottobrooklyn3440 this no treat thing should only be during the time when you are trying to get Otto back on eating food on time. If things goes right, it may only last like 1-2 days with enough exercise. I wouldn’t worry too much if he is still eating treats, but not his food😬 that’s literally the example of a picky dog haha. But if he wouldn’t eat anything, even the treats, it’s probably time to pay vet a visit just in case it is more of a health issue.
We can relate. Was doing kibble and alternating proteins with chicken, egg, salmon. My senior dog has only been eating hamburger meat, I also need to hide his medications in it. I talked to a food rep at my pet store and they gave me a sample of “Smallbatchpets” and my dog inhaled all of it in seconds then eagerly waited for more. Dog food for the first time in 2 weeks of trying to guess what he wants to eat. 🤪 I’m relieved!
@@kf1683 woooooo I’ve been wanting to try the small batch freeze dried bites for Genie, just waiting for a good sale!
It worked!!! I tried this before but incorrectly. I used to leave the food for an hour before removing it. This 3 minute rule worked great. My dog is fixed after two months of trying all sorts of foods and ways to make her eat.
How many days did your dog hold out?
@@j.w.1619 around two, she would eat a little bit and leave the rest. And I was firm, I put the food away until the next feeding time. Around day 5 she was eating normally.
We gave up after 2 days. This situation is so frustrating. We hand feed our Maltipoo and give him multiple options everyday till finally he eats something.
hahaha the look on her face! Indignant! She was like, " How dare you feed me Pheasant food!" hahahahaha
Thank you
I'm going thru the same thing, I'm now mixing wet food with her kibble but she's spitting the kibble out. I've stopped giving her treats . I guess I'll try to moisten her kibble before adding wet food to see if that works
My 7 month old labradoodle is doing the same thing. I tried switching her food to farmers dog and she doesn't like that either. She went back to eating kibble before she would eat that, but it's still hit or miss. I'm doing the same things as you, holding back everything, but it's hard when we goto puppy class and those are treat heavy days as well as when I'm trying to reinforce what we learn at class at home. I had no idea that doodles could be so picky. She will eventually eat when she's hungry enough. I used the stella and chewy rabbit patties to crumble like you as well, but again it's hit and miss.
Thank you so much this helped me Alot ❤❤❤
Bless you for having such patience with your baby. I’m having a tough time with my pug. Her energy level is the same even when she doesn’t eat - not lethargic or anything. I have to keep trying to hand feed her until she caves. Sometime she does sometimes she doesn’t. I hate wasting her food but most times I have to throw away. I’m gonna try walking her more often to see if she will work up an appetite. Thank you for your video💗
Hang in there! Genie now no longer picks her food, once they get into an habit it will definitely stick!
I’m experiencing the same with my pug…they’re so difficult sometimes!!!
Video is very helpful.
My pitbull is a picky eater. I made the mistake to spoil him with chicken heads , chicken meat everyday, now he doesn't want to eat his kibble. I wanted to get him back on his kibble but his hunger strike won everytime and i found myself feeding him meat again. But now this method will surely work , i'm looking foward to it
My dog stopped eating his kibble, don’t think he could be bothered chewing it anymore, I put it in a blender now with warm water and blend it to a paste which gives it more flavour and digests easier. I throw in a few bits of ready cooked chicken on top and he wolfs the lot
will try this, though our dog doesnt usually walk bc no one really got a time and theres no good place nearby for my dog to walk in my area
Where do you buy the quail treat?
Love this video!! ♥️🥰
Aww thank you😊
@@GenietheGoldendoodle you’re welcome! may I know what dog food you feed to your pawsome dog? 🥰
@@rhayaplaza5849 currently she’s mostly on freeze dried now. Before that for kibbles, I usually go for Fromm four star, Acana or Merrick backcountry
My German shepherd does the same thing, I also used to give him toppings on the food but he used to just eat the chicken toppings or broth and leave the kibble .
Been following the same strict schedule with him and giving him soaked kibble since he likes it that way , I give him a treat when he finishes his food properly.
He has started eating food but still gets stubborn some days so I don't give him any treats that day
Is it important to put toppers? Since I'm kinda scared about him again getting picky when I put toppers
I think you are doing exactly right by not giving him any treats on the day when he doesn’t finish his food properly. I would also always follow the schedule and take the food away on time. This is more so to prep them into a habit that they will only get food at meal time so they will eat anything that put in front of them.
My dog is actually mostly on freeze dried food now, but on occasions when I put kibbles with toppers in front of her, she would still be eating them (I also found out she likes them soaked with warm water or bone broth as well)
Is toppers necessary? I don’t think so, they can certainly survive on kibbles alone without any treats or toppers but I like to spoil my pup :)
@@GenietheGoldendoodle well thanks for your advice. Yeah I also spoiled him by giving varies toppers but it backfired on me 😂so avoiding them now.
My dog also likes kibble in soaked water only , plus I've read it somewhere that it's much better for their gut health too if given soaked.
@@Daksh17171 what toppers you give
@@shazz_dxb usually chicken liver or shredded pieces of chicken or a dog topping powder
Bil Jac has food you can get that is very easy to chew. You can break it with your finger. I set some out and when they don’t want their soft food they will eat on it
I having such a hard time with my 9 month puppy when he goes without eating he will start vomiting his bile that’s when I get nervous and force down his throat I hurts me to do this but I’ve tried 7 different types of food including homemade even organic food and nothing . And I know it’s just him being picky cause once in a while he eats on his own for the most part if he likes the food he wants me to hand feed him . I am really stressed out with him because I literally want to cry when I see him vomit his bile due to not eating what should I do HELP PLEASE !!
Is it ok for the dog not to eat for 2days doing this method?
So how have u been nourishing her when she wasn't eating?
Ok so now what do I do when my dog is practically starving and throwing up bile and still refusing to eat
My puppy only wants the chicken flavored wet food from the Vet that is urgent care. Everything else… he gives me that look - he is a goldendoodle
OMG that's what i am going through these days 🤷🏻♀️ i will follow your instructions, specially no treat!
hey did it work?
This lady and her dog are exactly the same as me.
The same problem of picky eating or wont eat.
My dog can go for 5 days without eating.
He is 16 years old with Arthritis he takes Rimadyl and Yu move tablets which are very good.
Vet said it's a physiological not physical problem.
This problem has only started since we moved house 12 months ago.
He still loves his walks and socializing.
My puppy would only eat when I hand feed him!!! He’s been like this since he arrived which has been 4 days. Can I do the same? But I’m worried about his growth as he’s only a puppy
My Boston Terrier does this all the time. I've stopped worrying about it. He'll eat when he gets hungy and sometimes it takes 2 to 3 days before he'll finally eat. I only give him dry now so that nothing rots and I can leave it out for days until he eats it.
Exactly that’s what I say about my Rottweiler when his azz get hungry enough he’ll eat you can lead a horse to water but can’t make him drink
My dog hasn’t eaten in a week and it’s not digestive issues or not he will eat human food only 🙄 and refused to touch anything else ..it’s not helping since he’s basically underweight either :/
What did you do to solve that problem
I have a 6 month french bulldog stoped eating kibble , wants what we eat we have started to do what you been doing. But we haven't mixed anything in it , is there any other tips anyone can recommend need my pup to eat his kibble again.
What do you do with the food she doesn't eat?
I'm so glad it worked out! one question from my case, my dog had this reflux thing from eating strange thing from the walk and had bacteria, she got it cured after some meds but still very picky and i'm scared if i skip meals she would get the reflux back. can u you advice on my case? thank you so much...
You can try adding salmon oil or fish oil into her diet to see if she’ll take to that.
@@azureseraph1264 Thanks... I now give them homecooked food, she still get bored after some days but i didnt give in n thank God the reflux didnt come back...
I have to do this because my dog will only eat boiled chicken! I put that as a topper in all my dogs dry food but yeka is the one that won’t eat it she started being picky yesterday 😑
My dog a coton de tulear he is just eating a little bit kibble at night and refraining from eating it’s been 2 days this way and we are giving zero treats
Any suggestions??
What was the treat you gave her?
My dog does not like kibble at all she only eats rice with milk and when she starts being picky I give her rice with egg or chicken she loves it .
I think this is a poodle thing with every poodle I meet. Mine is still a puppy only 6 months old and it sucks Bc I don’t wanna have to not feed him for days to get him to eat :( will it stunt his growth?
I am going to the same thing now , i have 2 dog , one bigger is past 4 months ago and my little brownie is lonely does not want to eat , i trying to change better brand dog food and i was worry about it make home food mixed into some dry kibble food , but he refused to it . Went to petco work there say give dry food . I change dog food to Taste of Wild now and he is still refused to eat , he hated blue buffalo puppy food . As far if i add a Little chicken breast meat , stew he will eat some food , but still not want to eat .
My doberman is giving me that same look after he eats all his freeze dry food 😂
My dog literally gives me that same exact look-😭
My dog is soo picky, shes a toy poodle, poodles are known to be picky eaters but i didn't know its this bad, my girl usually doesn't even like dog treats, i use the way you show in the video and it usually works when shes refusing, eventually shes hungry enough. She also eats better when theres competition, like if my parents dog is around.
Hello, I just got a toy poodle a week ago and he is refusing his kibble, it would be great if we can chat about our dogs hahhaha I don't know anyone with a toy poodle.
Toy poodle here. Same situation 😩. Did any of you succeed?
My half grown puppy does this, unless there is another dog in the house. Then she will gobble up anything to prevent the canine visitor from getting it.
My puppy is literally the same . She is super picky and lays on the floor all day long to the point where I have to force feed her with a syringe and that's the only way that she eats sometimes.
Hi Brian I have been force feeding my puppy for 5 months with syringe and I really want him to eat on his own and not be picky. Have you figured something out that worked for your puppy
She’s a gorgeous dog 💕my German shepherd is the same way 😩
thx for this.. gna have to do the same with my beagle. I wasn't sure how long i could starve her out and would usually give in with something more interesting than kibble after a day or so lol.
I was having this trouble with my dog I reduced he was a stray I was giving him kibble and can to put some weight on him then switched to a better quality dog food so he could get all his nutrients he ate it at first but stopped so I went back to the old stuff he was eating it and stopped so I switched back again and was having problems getting him to eat add water eggs rice to his food and nothing so I stop giving in on him I heated up his food in the oven seems to be working now
My moms dog is 5 yrs old and will not touch dog food at all I’ve tried everything sometimes he will eat a little if I mix hamburger in it but I don’t know what to do we can’t afford meat every day
My shih tzu does the same thing. He was a picky eater but would still eat . My roommates would feed him human food so it made it worse .
I seem to have the same problem I put a little water in there and that made all the difference
Just rescued a 10 month old Chihuahua pup who was only fed human food. Day 5 of him refusing to eat kibble. I've managed to get him to eat maybe a handful of raw coated Stella and chewy. He doesn't eat treats either. He has been to vet for a wellness check and he's just picky
oof this is a tough one, stubborn little guy. If he eats the raw coated Stella and chewy I would continue offer him that. Have you also tried adding warm water and mix with the kibbles? Some dogs prefer it that way.
Had one that would only eat 9 Live dry cat food. No dog food
I really enjoyed your video beautiful fur baby ❤️
aww thank you！
My dog will litterly puke if she doesn’t eat.. tried schedule and still won’t eat!
Thanks for the great video!
Do you think it’s safe to do the same with a 4 months old puppy? He’s stubborn as hell and loves wet food but lately eats no kibbles or only eats them when hand-fed. Think we’ve spoiled him.
Hey Martin, thank you for the support!
I would be more careful with puppies but the concept is the same, but I would first rule out other reasons before you start doing this to your pup. If you are sure the picky behavior is not caused by any medical reasons, then you can start. The general rules are the same, make sure to take the food away after certain time and no hand feeding, you can walk away after putting down the bowl and come back after like 15 mins. Have a consistent schedule every day (3 times a day for a 4-month old pup) and only provide the amount for the one meal only, do not double it if your pup skip like one or two meals that day, no treats while doing this training (which means you might have to pause your other trainings for a while), plenty of stimulation, mental and physical during the training time and last but not least, make sure your pup has access to enough water. No dogs would ever starve themselves to death, but be sure to watch your pup and make sure the energy level is ok during the whole time. Good luck!
please let me know if it works for your pup! I'm having the same issue with my 3 month old. He is extremely picky. I guess no more treats
@@GenietheGoldendoodle Thanks a ton! We’re at day 3 and already seeing lots of progress! I mix the kibble with a little bit of pâté for puppies and it did wonders. I gradually reduce the amount of pâté.
@@accountone4380 It works! Just do as the video says and don’t fold mentally 😅 As soon as the puppy becomes hungry, it’s start eating!
@@MartinMarchev glad to hear! Once your pup starts eating on schedule you can resume all the normal trainings with treats! If the picky behavior develops again in the future, just do the same and it should quickly corrects his/her behavior. The first time is always the hardest!
Thank you mine did the same thing! Now I feel normal. Ok no treats..
That's what I'm gonna try for my picky puppy!!
Good luck! I hope your pup won’t be as stubborn as Genie😉
Did it work bcz i am worried about my Rottweiler puppy
@@athulraj2796 no because I give in 😅 I make him home cook meals he's so spoiled
@@cristaladame84 same here doesn't like to eat his kibbles even with raw meat or cooked one don't know what to do,Nd he is a Rottweiler so can't afford to skip a meal bcz i need a gigantic puppy which he isn't till now
@@athulraj2796 omg my puppy does love raw meat (ground beef) especially when I mixed it with pumpkin and oats. But sometimes I'm in a rush and kibbles is my only option :/
Did he not vomit yellow bile during his strike? I need to discipline my picky dog but always worry because of the hunger pukes and I eventually give in
The longest hunger strike my dog ever went on was this one, she ended up with no 💩 but didn’t get to the point where she was vomiting. I made sure she had enough water the entire time. Dogs will be fine not eating for a few days, just make sure they always have access to water.
Ugh my poodle is doing the same ! Will refuse dry food , was worried because he would throw up bile, once I mixed wet food with dry , he would only eat wet . Took him to vet they told me he was picky eater . He is going on strike day 2 today .
@@LuisSanchez-hn3dp you gotta stay strong and not give in or else he will learn that he can get better food by going on strike. as long as he is healthy he will not starve himself to death. my dog is now eating normally again and on a schedule after maybe months of intermittent hunger strikes as he finally learned better food will not come if he turns his nose away at his bowl, just be patient
@@grill6411 thank you ! Honestly . Needed to hear that .
@@britrist9305 I definitely understand I went through the same thing with my puppy too racked up a nice hospital bill and all.. $1200 as well smh she’s just a picky eater always I try to switch up her food helps a little.
I got my dog used to eating from the table, now I’m trying to get him to eat his kibble. It’s breaking my heart 💔 he probably thinks he did something wrong but it was just me 😔
My malshi throws up if he doesn’t eat :( so I have to give in and give him something different
Where can I find some of those Quail treats??
That brand is called momstick and is from South Korea, there is also a brand called HP that sells whole freeze dried quail (also from Korea). Freeze Dried Australia sells freeze dried quail necks. I usually buy them from overseas and ship them myself by sea to US. You might be able to find some in local small boutique Asian pet stores.
Did she continue to eat kibbles after that 4 days or you had to do it again afterwards?
My dog is now on full raw/freeze dried diet. But back then after we did this, she continued eating kibbles.We did have some set back here and there and we did this exercise again, but none of those setbacks lasted 4 days again, usually just within 1 day she’ll start eating.
Why didn't you put the left over rabbit thingy?!?!? 6:21
My miniature poodle refuses kibble. I’m going to have to do that, but I want to make sure she likes her kibble. She’s so fussy and would have definitely spit out the pill.
The dogs loom so cute anc curly and fluffy what the dog name is it a girl or boy
My dogs the same way she's just picky with her food I have to rely on chopped ground food with water in it. She refused to eat dry stuff. She's just picky I guess.
🤗❤️ love this ❤️🤗
Thank you😀
How early in the morning do you feed your dog? Mine is 9am, 3pm, 9pm ... but the morning one is where mine eats the less, does this ever happened to you?
Is yours still a puppy? My dog only eats twice a day, she’s been eating only twice a day since about 11 months old. I usually feed her around 9:30am and around 8:30pm. I used to feed her around 6:30pm but noticed sometimes she is just not hungry enough, so I pushed it back another 2hr.
@@GenietheGoldendoodle is 7 months. I would like to change twice a day when she is able to eat well the 3 times, but it is weird, I know she is hungry in the morning, still doesn’t eat all its kibble, so she gets even more hungry at 3pm and 9pm, so she has nothing else to eat than the kibble
@@GenietheGoldendoodle how much time later after waking up do you feed your pet? I give its kibble 30min after waking up, I don’t know if it’s all right, or I should wait longer.
@@GabrielBermudezA9903 30min sounds about right, I usually wake up and walks her first, usually 20-30 mins walk and then when we come back she gets her breakfast
Hi may i know if Genie threw up bile/mucus during this period or did the water help prevent any vomiting? Thank you!
she did threw up (in the morning usually, I don’t recall she threw up other times during the day) it’s quite normal when a dog hasn’t eaten for a while. I don’t think she threw up everyday though. It should be fine as long as there is no other symptoms present. It is just upset stomach due to being hungry, and once she started eating, the vomit stopped.
@@GenietheGoldendoodleThank you! I was having trouble feeding my Maltipoo as he's such a picky eater. The whole starving him and vomiting episodes made me feel so stressed but I followed your video and was very successful in getting him back on his kibbles.
My dogs do that I change there dog food every once in awhile
I slap 2x and she eats very Quickly, no joke in my Yard.
Hi can you post a link where to buy the rabbit Pattie’s and the quail ?
Vital Essentials sell rabbit Pattie’s, you can buy directly from their website or chewy. I haven’t been able to get the quail myself for a while, it was from overseas and stocks have been inconsistent for the past few months.
My dog won’t eat. I try to put a little cheese on it and sometimes she will eat it. I don't want to keep doing that. Sometimes, she will eat it if Hamburg is on it. But not all the time. I would do what you do and take it away, but she pukes if she doesn't eat.
My baby is on his second day of not eating and he’s puking bile 🥺
What kind of kibble is this
I been giving my dog a mix of dry and wet now won't eat his food so I'm start giving him wet only to get rid of it I search that giving him only wet can have risk to them so I'm try to get him to eat dry only even if he doesn't want to
Giving your dog only wet food is far superior than giving only kibble. People use kibble for price and convenience. Why do you think feeding only wet is way more expensive.
I'm intrigued in what risks you think might happen feeding only wet food.
Thanks but my dog would probably throw up if he didnt get any foods .. what should i do.. i wanna try like you did..but i dont want him to get sick
You can try giving him/her a small treat before bed to prevent the throwing up of bile(like a greenie). As long as it’s not enough to keep her full, she’ll eventually come to eat her food
I left my dog at my Moms house for 2 months and all she gave her was people food. Now, I can’t get my dog back on kibble 😢
My dog was the same way until one day my sister turned around and told me get some frozen blueberries to frost only about 10? Mix them in the dry food and just introduce it to the dog. Well lo and behold that worked my dog ate everything I guess maybe the smell and the taste of the blueberries somehow disguised the smell of the dry food
A friend of mine’s dog is only fed leftover human food mostly meat and won’t eat kibble at all. Which I know isn’t healthy and I’m trying to help research about what they can do to make him eat kibble. He only eats meat treats and if it’s not meat treats he won’t eat it. This has been going on for couple years now as it was a bad habit created. Should they be doing this process with their dog to get him to eat kibble?
He does eat boiled chicken breast and basically any type of meat but that’s not a good balanced meal...
They can always try full freeze dried diet if they can afford it, which is what my dog is on now currently since they do love meat. But it is pricy. If that is not an option, they can always start the process to start eating kibbles, maybe try adding some toppers once they will accept kibbles again.
Im a new dog dad. And i have a German shepard puppy. The older he gets, He became picky and i feel bad when he doesnt eat it. Im worried that he might get sick lol. So what i did is that, i mix his treats to his dog food and he started eating everything. Is this a bad habit ? i dont want him to take advantage of it
This is what I did when my dog first became picky, and it got worse. Now I use the treat as a reward to build a habit, it’s positive reinforcement. Now my dog would come for me after her meal, showing off her empty plates to get her treats
Dealing with this at this very moment with my 20 month old Australian Shepherd , going to wait her out wish me luck, she’s stubborn . 😅
my dogs hunger strike is lasting more than a week. i really don’t know what to do
