Help with my puppy?

Question

my doggie loves to eat treats and barley eats her doggie food. can any one give me dog food choices that my dog will love?? PS she is very pickey!!

Answer 1

First, stop feeding her so many treats. Try different foods. If you have time, you can make her meals using organic foods. These are healthier anyway. Talk to your vet about the best foods for her. Just get some sample bags and try different ones until she finds one that she likes. My dog is a treat lover too, but I only give her one when she potties outside. This lowers her treat intake, and also helps to potty train her!

Answer 2

giving her alot of treats will make her unhealthy and over weight

Only give her a treat occasionally

Put her dog food in her bowl, SHE will eat when she's hungry if you stop giving her treats all the time

I can buy a 12 oz box of dog treats for my lab and it'll last her several months

She gets a half of a treat when she comes back in from going to the bathroom and that is it

if your trying to house break your dog USE the dog food as a treat when she does her business outside,
if your tryin to teach her tricks, shake, roll over, Laydown, Smile Etc Again use her dog food as a treat not actual treats

and no dog is pickey the owners however are

Answer 3

I've had a dog for my whole life, about 3 dogs and trained my girlfriends, friends, and Moms dogs. First thing a dog will eat anything when they are hungry there is no such thing a picky dog, if the dog does not eat today take the food away its not cruelty to them, some dogs go days without eating. The next day do the same thing and if the dog does not eat then do it again, the dog will not starve its self. Don't do this if its a new born (1-3 weeks) force the new born to eat.

Answer 4

Stop giving her treats. If she gets hungry enough, she'll eat her food.

Now- Sometimes my father will take a handful of food and give that to his beagle. And the dog thinks *that* is treats. If eating is a problem, you could try that.

Your dog does not need treats. She will get hungry enough and eventually eat. Remember, you are in control, not her.

Answer 6

first how many treats and table scraps is she getting? no wonder she is picky. second what is the food you are feeding her. is it corn filled crap in a bag that should just be dumped in the yard and forget the middle man or is it high quality food with meat in it and no corn fillers.

I would suggest natural choice or eagle pack as my first choice.
