What to do if the dog doesn’t like to eat from a young age? Find the cause accurately
Dogs are naturally animals with a good appetite. As long as the dog is healthy, they rarely show signs of not wanting to eat. If the dog we raise doesn’t like to eat from a young age, it is generally because there is a problem with our feeding methods. If we don’t stick to principles while feeding and always prioritize the dog’s preferences, it is easy to spoil the dog. So, how should we solve the problem of a dog not liking to eat from a young age? Try the following three tricks!
First, do not give the dog snacks without limit. Many pet owners habitually use snacks to interact with their dogs. During training, snacks can increase the dog’s cooperation, so owners like to buy snacks for their dogs. But in fact, snacks can never become the dog’s main food. If we always spoil the dog by letting it form the habit of eating snacks frequently, the dog will definitely be unwilling to eat meals. Therefore, when solving the dog’s eating problem, the first thing is to reduce the amount of snacks.
Second, feed the dog clean and fresh food. A dog that doesn’t like to eat from a young age may be because the food we provide is not clean or fresh enough, which leads to loss of appetite. So if conditions allow, we should try to feed the dog clean and fresh food. When feeding, you can also appropriately add some fruits or boiled plain meat. These can stimulate the dog’s appetite.
Third, take the dog out for exercise more often. Most dogs enjoy outdoor exercise, so it’s best to take your dog out to play every day. There are two benefits to this: one is it helps the dog expend energy and increases its appetite; the second is it helps the dog strengthen its body and boost its immunity. So if the dog does not want to eat, try taking it out for exercise, which might bring unexpected benefits.
If the dog’s digestive system is normal but simply doesn’t like to eat from a young age, we can fully solve the problem by following the methods above. After persisting for a period of time, the issue of the dog not liking to eat from a young age can be easily resolved.
