Feeding Key Points of Anatolian Shepherd Dog

Anatolian Shepherd Dog (detailed introduction)
We all know that wolves are not picky eaters, but unfortunately, as descendants of wolves, Anatolian Shepherd Dogs have not inherited this advantage. Like all pet dogs raised at home, regardless of how clever or cunning they were before, once they are treated as pets by their owners, they tend to bargain during mealtime.
Their usual method is to look at the food but refuse to eat it for a long time. Even after the usual feeding time, they behave the same way; they use this method to express their dissatisfaction with the food.
Many owners would then take out other foods to feed them. Usually, this new food is more persuasive than the original food. However, some dogs remain indifferent... Eventually, the owner may take out all the "stock" at home and let the dog rummage through to pick their favorite food.
If you do this, you are finished.
The correct approach should be: first take the dog to see a vet. If the vet confirms that your dog's loss of appetite is not caused by illness, then after every feeding time, regardless of whether the dog has eaten a little or nothing at all, immediately remove the food and do the same thing at the next feeding time.
You must make your beloved dog understand: either eat the food you give it now, or don't expect to eat anything.
The purpose of this is to test which is more firm in willpower, you or your dog. After going through this process, your beloved dog will no longer be picky.
Of course, there is also the possibility that you may ultimately lose this battle (this struggle usually lasts for a long time, during which you must endure seeing your dog slowly become thin and lethargic). In this case, I suggest you can raise another dog.
