But I cut into pieces for him already lol.
Also have you ever seen a dog with a knife in its mouth? If you do, it is time to run away!
Lol, he will eat most anything posted here.
He will eat for a day and then has no interest in food for several days. It can be frustrating because I don't know if it will be an eating day or a refusing food day. This sadly results in wasted food.
The only things he will eat any time it is offered is canned tuna and cashews. Both can cause issues if fed in large amounts so he gets those every once in a while.
Why?
Some days he eats any of these meals. Other days he eats normal dog kibble. Some days he refuses to eat.
Balanced nutrition. There is spinach as well. He likes both when he is willing to eat. If he does not like ingredients in his food, he will pick it out. I found out he doesn't like green beans when he made a perfect row of them on his food table and ate the rest of the meal.
That is Chex cereal. It is a crap shoot if he will eat, but we try to make sure his nutrients are balanced. Needs some carbs, cereal is fortified with vitamins, has fiber.
If he is in an eating mood, he does not mind the cereal or spinach.
All food in this channel has been explicitly given to him and the command to eat has been given multiple times.... I did not dream I would have to teach a dog an eat command but here we are ..
Has been seen by world class vets. They can't figure it out. Instruction is currently to feed him anything that he is willing to eat that is non toxic to canines.
A mystery that many vets have not been able to answer even though he has had almost every medical test known to man. He is just weird.
Stunted growth, but it is not from lack of access to food. Healthy aside from being smaller than expected.
He is offended. Cheese is only to be eaten at bed time. His rule, not ours.
No hibachi steak or scallops
I appreciate the brainstorming. He has been like this his whole life. First very visit was at 8 weeks old due to not eating for the previous week.
He has several types of dog bowls and plates. He refuses to eat outside of the house, much to the betterment of his trainer. I eat all meals indoor of him, and will pretend to be excited and take bites of his food and let him smell my breath before offering it to him. I will also give pieces of his food like bits of chicken to our cats to try to show him it is okay.
On his last birthday party he had a dog friend over. Both were given dog doughnuts from a pet bakery. He gave his doughnut to the other dog to try to barter for more play...
