Dog Picky Eater Solutions: Expert Tips for Happy Meals

Edited by: Екатерина С.

Is your dog a picky eater? It's a common concern for many dog owners. Canine experts suggest several reasons why a dog might be a picky eater and offer solutions to address this issue.

One frequent mistake owners make is hand-feeding. While seemingly helpful, experts advise against it, as it can create food insecurity. Instead, establish a consistent feeding schedule, offer a variety of high-quality foods, and limit treats to no more than 10% of your dog's daily calorie intake. A consistent feeding schedule helps create predictable patterns for your dog.

Consider adding tasty and nutritious extras like warm bone broth or a raw egg to make meals more enticing. However, consult with your vet before adding raw eggs to your dog's diet. If your dog suddenly stops eating or exhibits other symptoms like vomiting or diarrhea, consult a vet to rule out underlying medical issues.
