Golden Retriever (Detailed Introduction)

       Many owners often headache over their dog’s picky eating habits, because feeding a picky dog is indeed a challenging task. For example, some owners have to constantly follow their dog around begging them to eat, while some dogs become more and more selective; ordinary dog food simply does not appeal to them. In fact, dogs show some small signs when they become picky eaters. When these signs appear, owners should immediately change their care methods to nip the picky eating habit in the bud. So how do you judge if your dog has a tendency to be picky? Parents might want to look at the following small test.

       1. Do you feed your dog food from the dining table?

       A. Yes   B. No

      2. Do you feed your dog snacks more than three times a day?

       A. Yes   B. No

       3. Does your dog refuse to eat in its own food bowl?

       A. Yes   B. No

      4. When your dog wants to eat something (excluding regular meals), do you always comply?

       A. Yes   B. No

       5. If your dog is dissatisfied with the food, does it firmly refuse to eat?

       A. Yes   B. No

       6. Does your dog have poor gastrointestinal function, prone to constipation or diarrhea?

      7. Is your dog thinner compared to other dogs of the same age and breed?

       Test Answers

       If you selected two or more A options, your dog is already on the path to being a picky eater. Timely change in care methods can quickly help them break the habit. If you selected four or more A options, your dog already exhibits obvious picky eating behavior, and the owner will need to spend a longer time helping them overcome this habit. During the process of helping your dog break this habit, many owners may give up halfway because they feel sorry to see their dog go hungry, which is not good for the dog. Remember, providing your dog with a healthy body is what the owner should do.
