I have a fine young adult Newfoundland. He has never been a big eater,
and when he did eat he was always picky. We gave him a half can of wet
food mixed with his regular dry food ( we've tried Iams, Diamond, and
several other quality brands ). He was not that interested. Later we
turned to putting a few things from the table in with his food, in hopes
he would eat a little more. 3 cups for a Newfie is not all that much,
though with having other newfies, I realize when using a good quality
food, they only eat about 6 a day normally. He then got to the point
that he would pick the regular food out of his dish and just eat the
small amount of that, leaving the dog kibble there. Now I know you may
think that maybe he is ill, He is not! He's happy go lucky, and seems
well. Just feed him off of the table and see just how his appetite is! I
tried this as a test. He can eat fine, when it's what he wants. Does
anyone have any ideas on the best way to get him to eat his kibble. I
have been told to leave the dry Kibble out ( wetted it with water a few
times and it did no good ) and he'll finally eat it when he is hungry
enough. Well it's during my last attempt now, and he's gone 2 days and
won't touch a thing.
