We all know that raising a pet dog is very expensive. When initially purchasing a pet dog, you need to spend a large amount of money, and the expenses on daily care and diet are also substantial. Many owners think they can share food with humans, and when we feed dogs human food, they eagerly and happily consume it. However, we do not realize that human food is not suitable for them. When they eat human food for too long, their bodies will develop certain problems because human food focuses more on seasoning, which dogs cannot eat. Therefore, when we switch their food to dog food, they may not like to eat it. Today, let's understand what to do if a poodle refuses to eat dog food?

If at the beginning of feeding the poodle, we choose dog food, there will be no refusal to eat dog food. Generally, it is because the owner feeds the dog foods other than dog food, such as human food or frequently feeding meat, bones, etc., which makes the dog think dog food is tasteless, causing the dog to constantly reject dog food. When we play with the dog, we often reward it with snacks, but eating too many snacks can reduce the dog's appetite for the main food. If the owner has been feeding the dog the same type of dog food since the start, over time the dog may also refuse to eat that dog food.

If our poodle refuses to eat dog food because of too many snacks, we can mainly feed dog food and then reward some snacks after the dog finishes eating. This way, the dog will eat dog food when hungry and look forward to snacks after finishing the dog food. However, the dog's meals should be given in small quantities multiple times a day because dogs’ digestive systems are not very strong. Generally, do not feed too much at once, or it may affect their digestion.

When choosing dog food for the poodle, pay attention to selecting easily digestible, light, and nutritious dog food, and change the brand every six months or one year. This way, the dog eats nutritiously and safely without getting bored of the same food over time. Owners can also take their dogs for outdoor walks or exercise after meals to increase the dog's hunger. Eating dog food when hungry will increase the dog's favorability toward dog food.
