WHY YOUR DOG DOES NOT EAT EVERYTHING?
Hi Guys,
I'm very excited to write my first blog and share the most common issue that people face with their dogs. This is the most commonly asked question I get on my page and through numerous e-mails.
"My dog only eats meat , if there is no meat he doesn't eat at all. What should I do ?"
So, here is the thing what you did wrong from the very beginning. The time your puppy came to your home you started feeding him the most favorite thing, i.e "Meat" and you feed it everyday but due to some issues someday you give a different food without "meat" and now you saw your dear dog was sniffing the food and searching for the meat but did not eat even a single bite without it. That disappoints you and makes you think your dog is "picky". You will be thinking your dog is stubborn and he doesn't follow you. Now let's trace back to the story again and find out who did it wrong.
Is it your Dear Dog or You ????
And I want to be a little straight on your face saying "No doubt it's you". Yes, the dog owner.
From the very beginning, your dog gets the most valuable and favorite food why will he eat something less valuable.Even you never tried to feed him different things. Now, from the last 5 months you are feeding him meat and at some point of time you realize your dog has become very picky about it and now he is choosy and stubborn and only eats his food with meat. It's you who made him that why.
Now the main concern is how to change his habit..?
And here I am to help you out!
Here are some tips to save your dog from such habits from an early age.
* Feed your puppy different varieties of food everyday. Make sure the food is edible for dogs as some human foods are harmful for your dog.
*Add veggies and some grains along with the kind of food you prefer.
*Add different veggies to your dog's dry food.
* Make a habit of making your dog drink some water or you can add some water to your dog's food.
* Every member of a family should feed him alternatively and you should touch or pat your puppy and his bowl while eating to prevent any sort of food aggression in future.
Now here are some tips for the dog owner's who are facing this issue with their dogs
* Try to introduce different kind of food in your dog's regular diet. Add veggies or any grain ( Rice is the best grain for dogs).
* Increase the portion of different food gradually and decrease the quantity of meat accordingly.
*Don't expect too much too early, it might take a month or even more depending on your dog food habit and age.
* Give different types of food in form of treats for example some fruits ( One which dogs can eat, Grapes and Avocados are poisonous for your dog, so check the list once) or you can give veggies like carrots.
*Add dairy products like cottage cheese and yogurt ( Avoid milk) but in small quantity.
