Man’s best friend has just a few simple needs in life and they all revolve around eating. Whether a dog is playing, cuddling, or sleeping, when they hear the sound of dinner being opened and prepared, they come running.
Some of the more voracious pup’s appetites appear to have no limits and they will scarf up any and all treats or food scraps thrown their way, then continue on to eat grass, rocks, and whatever else they come across.
In direct contrast to these hungry dogs are the rare few who have very weak appetites and are extremely picky eaters. This type of dog doesn’t get all that excited around dinner time and when a bowl of food is placed under its nose, it doesn’t dig right in.

Instead, they sniff their meals hesitantly before pushing the morsels around a bit and maybe they take a few bites, then walk off unimpressed.
Such was the case for Luna who has been a picky eater over the years. However, the owner found a perfect way to get Luna to eat every time, and fortunately for him, it doesn’t involve going broke buying canine filet mignon.
Check out his perfect “solution” in the video on the next page!

I have a feeling that after awhile you’d still have to watch her and praise her for eating. It’s not the food it’s the fact she wants the attention.

I have a basset hound that gets picky about his dry food. When this happens I just add a little water to it and tell him it is his “special doggy food sauce” and he gobbles it right up!

well I’ll try it. I have a Lab pup….whoever heard of a Lab that’s a picky eater?….and she’s been on so many different foods, additives etc etc. She will eat them for awhile then one day decide they aren’t worthy any more. It’s SO frustrating. She feels absolutely fine and is quite well and playful. Just picky. Vet says I need to be more hardhearted.
