    Picky dogs?

    I swear, Jack is the biggest pig in the house - yet he seems to be the pickiest.

    He won't eat fruits (melons, bananas, cherries, watermelon), he doesn't like chips, he spits out vegetables (all except carrots), he hates yogurt (but loves frosty paws and ice cream), he only will eat cheese once in awhile...and I can't think of any more unfavorites at the moment.

    Everyday it seems we find out something new that he doesn't like.

    What are your dog(s) least favorite foods?

    My dogs aren't that picky. Heck, Kiara eats lemons!


    Simba won't eat fruits or veggies unless they are pureed. The other three will eat just about anything. The girls especially love their veggies.

    We do not feed Zoee much besides her food, treats and carrots. Oh, I got a box of frosty paws and she LOVES those!! I think she'd eat anything, to be honest.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Chester hates turkey organs, and rabbit organs. He doesn't really like celery unless it's pureed. Besides that, there is nothing else I can think of that he doesn't like.

    Mickey looooooves fruits and veggies. Molly, I don't really know what she likes. She doesn't like most hard foods, and it's come and go with the fruits and veggies.

    Buddy will eat anything that is edible - he's a little porker.

    I have one of the pickiest dogs on the planet. It drives me NUTS!! His top weight is 36# and I could not get him bigger than that even if I tried. Perhaps when he's a bit more mature he'll be able to maintain a higher weight.

    Anyway, he can love a food one day and snub it the next. Novel foods lose their novelty quickly for this dog. Basically he prefers canned food to ANYTHING I homecook (yes, even steak). I can't afford feeding him 2-3 cans of premium dog food 24/7/365, so I sneak in some homecooked stuff with every meal. There are a few foods he will rarely turn down, namely chicken gizzards, sardines and tripe...YUM! Also I finally got him to eat rice by cooking it in coconut milk.

    Oi, anyone wanna trade dogs? I really stress myself out about getting him to eat. My last dog was a total chow hound, so this is all new to me....*sigh*


    Many thanks to Roxyluvsme13 & k9krazee for my great new siggy!!
