Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Hi all, so we're feeding Halo Solid Gold puppy food, which she seemed to LOVE at first. This wasn't the same food she was on before though, so we transitioned her over to it gradually and mixed in a little bit of pumpkin to help out her stomach. Well now that she's only eating SG we stopped adding in pumpkin and she's doing her own little hunger strike! To make her eat something I got a can of Puppy Plate by Merrick and added a little of that. It worked for 2 meals before she just started licking up all the wet food and leaving the dry stuff. Any suggestions?? She definitely doesn't have her usual energy since she started being picky and not eating her meals. Thanks! |

| I'd suggest some tough love. She needs to learn to eat what she's given and every time you give in and add something to entice her, it's another victory for her and only reinforces her behavior in holding out for what she wants. A healthy dog will not starve itself, so if you've ruled out any health issues I'd show her some tough love.
If she's still quite young and not eating anything I would give her some Nutrical (not with her meals, so she doesn't see it as a topper/mix in) just to get some calories and vitamins in her. For an older puppy or adult I wouldn't do Nutrical, but if she's really young and not eating a thing then you may want to use it. Also be sure she's not getting treats or table scraps so she doesn't have that to keep her food strike ongoing. _________________ |

| Thanks, I'll look into the nutrical. She's only 4 months so I just wanted her to eat something which is partly why I was caving so early but if there's something out there that can make it so it won't impact her health then I'll definitely be looking into that! |
