Can you say SPOILT!!?? lol. Sounds like you plain out spoilt him :-) If you are determined to get him back to dry dog food only, then my suggestion would be to put out dry food...leave it out, don't put a time limit on it at this point....and wait him out. You will have to be the strong one, and not give in. If he don't eat that day, he will not starve. Dogs are better at playing the waiting game than humans are :-) Just make sure the dry is available in case he caves. Of course, keep an eye out that his sugar doesn't drop, but most likely, he will be fine...you are the one who will be a nervous wreck. At least don't give in till day three (if he goes two whole days without eating...better go ahead and get something in him)
You may want to go ahead and pour chicken juice over the dry to give it a taste....... Also, how big is he?? You probably do not want to chance it with a really tiny one...but if he is, ohhh say 5 pounds or more.....go ahead and wait him out for 48 hours. Marsha Do not tell God how big your storm is.

I tried searching answer to my question in the archives of this group but no luck. Here is our problem: We have a 11 month old male Chihuahua. His name is Brownie. We got him when he was 2.5 months old. He is a great company for all of us in the family. Very happy, wonderful dog. Great obeying house rules.....but one big problem: He does not eat well. In the first month, he ate dry dog food. We then started wet food. My wife gave him once a people food. After that, he did not eat dog food. Sometimes, he does not eat anything for a whole day. Next day, we can not wait any longer so we give him people food. Chicken is his favorite. He would eat chicken (I cook the chicken legs in the oven) anytime, even with bones. I know that this is not good for him. And I know that we made the mistake of giving him people food. Any suggestions to what we can do to get him to proper eating habits-Any resources? Thank you so much in advance. Cihan Cobanoglu
