FabSwingers.com forum: I am fussy!

Says my dog. The very fluffy Pomeranian.

I can never work out what he likes.

One day he wolfs it down. Others he just looks at it and walks away. He even sometimes just takes it and hides it in the garden. I try all brands. Wet and dry food. Even made him his own food.

No joy

Anyone else have that issue?

Everything. Loves it one day. Turns his nose up at it the next.

Do you have pets?

My dog has one brand he likes, all other brands he will pick bits out of and leave the bits he doesn't like all over the floor....

It's just dogs. I have a pomeranian chihuahua terrier mix. She did this in protest, still does inawhile, because theres no cheese or bits of rib meat mixed in. I started feeding her after a good long walk and she doesnt do it anymore.

He makes up for it with his love of cuddles Haha

Bakers is his brand, he also loves chicken...and if given the chance he will steal your toast.

Dogs learn you to manipulate to get what they want. They watch behaviours to their actions. Though could be a health issue too.

Try giving the food in an enrichment item. Kong wobbler, hiding the food in a snuffle mat, put it inside a plastic bottle, get a puzzle tray.

My pup is the same. I always think it’s like us. I love fish and chips and chocolate cake but every day? Day in, day out? Nah...

I think he is holding out for something better maybe and only gives in, by eating his own food, when it doesn’t materialise.

Chocolate cake every day. Hell yes
