Dog nutrition is an extremely important aspect of their care, since their growth, mood, energy and optimal health depend to a large extent on it. The most popular option to feed dogs is feed, as it is an economical and practical alternative.
However, other people choose to offer their four-legged best friends other types of eating patterns, such as the BARF diet or homemade food cooked by and for them. In case of choosing these alternatives, it is important to have veterinary advice and adapt the diet to the nutritional needs of the animal, so that it does not have any nutritional deficiencies.
Apart from this, there are dog guardians who prefer to stick to feed. Whether it’s for their comfort, their price, because they don’t have as much time to cook for their pet or because it gives them greater security knowing that their nutritional needs are covered. Within this premise, it is imperative to choose a good quality feed, with the best ingredients for the dog. However, even if we strive to offer you the best option, it often happens that the animal does not want to eat the feed and that is when we must get creative to get it to eat.
There are several reasons why a dog may reject feed. For example, because its taste, size or texture is not pleasant to you. It is also possible that you have gotten bored of always eating the same thing or that it does not stimulate your appetite enough. Another possible cause is that he is used to another diet or that you usually offer him human food, so he prefers it over feed croquettes.
To get the dog to eat his feed again, you can try giving him another different brand to see if he is more attracted to it that way. However, in some cases we have no choice but to give it a specific feed. For example, if you have a pathology that forces you to follow a certain diet. In these cases, there are some simple tricks with which to make that feed more tasty.
