Feeding human food snacks can have the same affect and can also lead to obesity. Change can also cause vomiting and diarrhea in some dogs. Constantly changing foods may cause your dog to hold out for something tastier, creating a finicky eater. Dogs do not need variety in their meals like humans, because they have all the nutrients they need in their dog food.Ĭonsistently feed one type of food. A quality brand of food will supply your dog with all the nutrients he needs, eliminating the need for diet variety. You should be feeding a high-quality, nutritious diet which your veterinarian has approved. Check the expiration date and take note of any odd odors in the food. Both dry and moist foods can expire, and it is also possible to buy a bad batch of food.
Begin by assuring that the food has not spoiled. If your dog receives a clean bill of health, the next step is to evaluate the food you feed. Visiting the vet will help you rule out any underlying medical conditions, such as gastrointestinal or oral disease, that may be causing the finicky eating. This is especially important to do if the finicky eating developed suddenly, is accompanied by vomiting and/or diarrhea, your dog is showing other signs of illness, or the finiky eating is associated with weight loss. If your dog has developed the habit of being picky about what he eats, the first step to the solution is to take your pooch to the veterinarian for a check-up. They are particular about their food, and trying to properly nourish them can be very frustrating! There are other dogs who are on the opposite spectrum, and will eat anything, even things that are not edible! There are also dogs in the middle, who have been made finicky by their families and environment. Like humans, some dogs are naturally finicky eaters. What's up with the dog who turns up his nose at the food you feed him? Aren't dogs supposed to be crazy about eating? Is a dog who is a finicky eater normal? What can you do about it? Anyone that I know with a finicky dog is frustrated.
