[nagdu] any suggestions?

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Jessica.
Don't coax him to eat.  If you do, you're teaching him that being picky
will get you to pay a lot of attention to him.  I'm sure he loves that!
Have you chosen this food because you think it's the best, or because it's
free? As you can see from your little survey, there are lots of good food
choices out there.

I always add a bit of warm water to kibble, and let it sit while I wash
and dry my hands.  Then the kibble isn't so dry.

My shepherd was a picky eater.  I did what everyone said--put down his
bowl, gave him a reasonable time to eat, then picked it up again.  He did
eat, when he was hungry.  When he retired and started living a less
stressful life, with other dogs around, he ate much more quickly.  Not
sure if that was the threat of competition, or the reduction in stress.  I
was glad to see it, though.
HTH.
