I think you worry too much. I thought you had accepted the fact that he wouldn't starve and that you had to stick with one type of food. Give him the bits of meat along with the dog food, slowly add less meat and more dog food, until he is eating dog food laced with meat. Stay with it, it will take time but don't continue changing his diet every few days. If he's under 2 years old, feed him twice a day, if he doesn't eat his morning feeding within 30 minutes (and that's generous amount of time), pick it up and throw it away. Offer him fresh food in late afternoon using the same routine. If he's over two years old, you might want to try feeding once a day. By the way, weren't you the one that was putting your dog on the special food purchased from your vet? What happened with that? Gloria In a message dated 10/3/2010 12:05:56 P.M.

Hi everyone Ricky is my rescue who wont eat dog food. now I feed him any meat I decide. what I am finding is he now is getting ichy skin. no flakes, but his coat is getting a bit dull looking and he scratches alot. I think this is due to him not getting all the vitamins and minerals he needs including oil. I plan to go to the pet store today and find a good vitamin /mineral with salmon oil in it. any advice? shanna Visit my eBay Store For Childrens Wear Specializing In Christening & Communion @ _http://stores.ebay.com/Kavis-Christening-n-Communion-Store_ (http://stores.ebay.com/Kavis-Christening-n-Communion-Store) (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb053_ZNxdm115XXUS)
