Hi.For some reason ever since I got my Peso about 3 weeks ago he will not eat any kind of dog food I give him.He is 4years old.I got him from my friends daughter's bf.He had to get rid of him because of housing situation.He told me that he eats this one kind of dry food, but he will also eat anything I would eat..I didnt realize he would only eat human food, this is CRAZY! I have left different kinds of food out for him, but he wont touch it at all...one time he did try Cesaers, but just only a table spoon.
I need some advice big time here, this cant go on..He plays and seems happy just won't eat dog food

Ok, so like you actually eat dog food? Yeah, I would say that is gross. No wonder you may get a bad aftertaste...it's dog food!


O/P have you tried some Blue Buffalo? I hear that works well for dogs who are picky. I've never tried it, literally, but I know some who have and their dogs would eat it.

Best of luck!

Hello, I am new here. I am certainly not an expert but my dad was a vet before he retired his 30yr practice.

An animal will not starve themselves to death. Pick a premium dog food, maybe moisten it at first to sort of make a gravy and leave it out for him. When he gets hungry enough, he will eat.

Do not give in and give human food. It is bad especially for the little ones. It can cause pancreatitis.

Best of luck. Keep us posted.

### Hit wrong button this was for the dog who would not eat dog food. I am new here and hit wrong button.###

We have a toy fox terrier and she is spoiled and will not eat anything either. If it don't come from our hand or plate she isn't open to eating it. Sometimes I have to take her wet dog food out of her bowl and hand feed it to her. Just remember dogs need their food to give the things they need to be healthy. Try Beneful wet and dry. Our Jazzy seems to love the dry and sometimes the wet food.

Welcome to the joy of sharing your life/home with a Chi. I know quite a few...and your 'problem' is shared by many. I can only think of one (1) owner/pup who doesn't...go thru this.(My moms;Her chi will/does eat anything/everything!)You just gotta hang in there. They wont starve themselves...But they DO need a quality food. Just keep 'experimenting' with QUALITY brands. I saw two brands recommended to you. Both good dog foods. Good Luck!
