We got our puppy around 3-4 months old, we will feed her twice a day morning and dinner and she will clean her bowl in seconds (keep in mind we are guilty for giving her treats not alot but often), year old later she stops eating food quickly or all together, so we did a couple experiments each day. Mixed in toppers, offer her treats, even tricked her by putting food in oven for a few seconds like she's getting gourmet food all were successful. So couple days we decided to just feed her nothing but Kibble no treats or tricks at all and leave the bowl there, so it seems like she will only finish her food around dinner/bedtime, so i guess her hunger got the best of her. So we think its her way of saying "maybe if i wait long enough i will get the good stuff" practically guilt training you. So we just used a kibble replenish feeder. We were cautious at 1st when we 1st got her in using a kibble replenish feeder, because she was a 4 month old puppy who didnt know how to stop eating and regulate her portions. Year later seems like she has grown and figured it out.
One thing we always do as well, make sure your dog eats before you start to prepare your own meals. Once they smell people food, all bets are off. Usually one of our dogs is a good eater and one is picky. I do hand feed the picky one because I just want to get the nourishment down him--and if I leave the dish, the other one will eat it. It really, for me, is a small price to pay to be sure he eats.
I’ve heard to feed yourself before. Anytime I feed her before I feed myself, she’ll eat her food and then come for mine. I eat first then she eats. That way she knows she has no other choice than to eat her own food.
Oh no!! You know, what solved our picky eating issues was me limiting their food. Like I computed for the right amount that they eat. I realized- they might have been overfed before.
Thank you so much! It starts out with the foamy vomit in yellow or white in the mornings. Now it's relatively normal, just so long as it doesn't happen on a regular basis like every single day 2-3x a day. Another sign is hahah this one is weird but their breath smells acidic and pungent. Those were the initial signs, hahah this would make a great video huh. I'll add it to the list.
@@poodlemom Thank you so much! I suspect that my poodle also has GI issues. She would also vomit 3-4x a week 🥺. Already took her to the vet and had her blood tested but everything is normal. So the vet just suggested to spread out her meals and feed her more often. Problem is, she’s a picky eater so it’s really hard to feed her 3 or more times a day 🥲. I just hope this will not get worse.
My toypoodle, 8 months old is very fussy eater m she s mainly on boiled chicken and also, raw meat diet ( packaged by a reputed company) . She doesn't eat veggies at all. Any advise is welcome on how to get her a well balanced diet.
Hallo Pinku! Have you considered and tried blending the veggies then mixing it to her raw food? That's how I get my girls to eat the veggies at first. :)
Hi! My dog is 1 year 4 months and when she was young she just stopped eating dog food then I gave here our table food and she became more picky and I once again introduce her to dog food. This pass few days she ate it but just a little I mix it with here normal food so that she will be familiar again. Still she doesn't finish here meal huhu. I also feed my dog 2x a day lunch and evening. Is it okay? Thanks for response in advance. She's still energetic just the appetite for eating is giving me headache
I have gone to the vet to get my poodle mix checked as well because she's a picky eater and everything was normal. I'm currently on day 1 of giving them the tough love of leaving the food out for 10 mins and taking it away, and finding out that my dog would vomit midday. If everything is normal health-wise with my dog, is it ok to be more hardheaded with them by sticking to the strict 10-min rule despite them vomiting mid-day? She also poops and pees like normal and drinks water but just doesn't eat her kibbles HAHAHa
Hello! I’m sooo sorry for the late reply. I made this mistake- so I wouldn’t recommend it for pets with health problems. What I would do instead is lessening the food and feeding 3x a day instead. After I limited their food intake- the pickiness lessened.
Hello! It’s from multiple trips and tests with our vets. :( That was the final diagnosis, one was gastric ulceritis and I can’t remember the other 2 :( Early symptoms were: Extra Hyper Acidic Stomach, Crazy appetite not normal for a poodle, and smelly breath.
.thanks for this. i think i may have to consider the one about GI check-up. i got a question. is it necessary to weigh the food you give to your dog? like putting it in a scale or something? i never had a scale to weigh Archie's food. sometimes i placed too much (he didn't finish it), sometimes i think i placed a little bit less coz he when he finished his food, it looked like the bowl has been already washed. hehe
Hi Eric! That would be a good call. Never hurts to check. As for the food. Not really, in the beginning I did but since I more or less know how much is there for the desired amount, I no longer weigh their food.
I don’t even know what to do for my Pom/terrier mix. I have thrown more dog food in the garbage than I would like to admit. She does have behavioral issues. We tried 2 training class but we dropped out with no progress because she would not take a high value treat. The trainer got on my case about the kind of treats I had and I told her it was cooked chicken that she normally begs for! I was so embarrassed 🙈 by the trainer!! I have also tried so many toppers with no luck.
Hi Shari! I am so sorry to hear this! While I know trainers have it tough, but no one has any right to embarrass us! Have you tried cooking for your pup? I wish to help you but not sure how with the limited communication we have. I have so many questions in my head and I can only give appropriate recommendations once I have answers. Would you be open to consultation? Do let me know!
@@poodlemom I just watched it and the only thing in it that she might eat is the liver 😣 Broccoli is always a big no for her. And the last thing I made with ground beef was also a no go. She is something else! But I love her dearly.
Hello, sure! Please send me a DM instead for this thru IG, FB or TikTok and I’d be happy to share it there! I prefer not to be associated with anyone publicly for personal reasons and privacy.
Tro mig om hunden va ute på gatan hade den ätit vad som helst och inte valt 😂men hade min hund inte ätit och gjort kalabalik hemma jag hade inte gjort nått utan låtit hans matskålen med hundmaten kvar till den hade ätit till sist när den blir hungrig 😂
I have a pomeranian, he's incredibly picky when it comes to food. He used to able to eat kibble, rice, meat without any problem but once he reached 4 to 5 months old, his appetite changed. If the food was frozen for a day or two and we reheated it, he won't eat. He doesn't like pork or beef but eats only duck or chicken or sometimes even bacon (bacon is a bit fatty so in some rare occasion we give him). It wasn't easy to feed him dinner or lunch because he chooses what time he would like to eat. Unlike other dogs, when he's hungry, he digs his bowl indicating he wants food. When we do give him food, he sniffs it first before eating, if it's not fresh he won't eat it. So when we do change it to fresh meat, even then he won't eat it... We would have to change the type of meat everytime until he get what he wants. It's not consistent, he'd rather go on a hunger strike than eat the food he was given... Sometime he does eat it if he fed him by hand but that's obviously not a good habit and so we try not to do it much but then again, we don't want him to waste food and it's not healthy for him to starve... He hates any type of dry treats or wet dog food that you'd get from a can. This makes it very hard to train him without treats... We tried so Many different and out of the 30 product we bought, 2 of them he actually liked and it's not like he extremely excited for them like what I see with other dogs so training him wasn't easy... I found out that best way to train was using dried mango or a bit of ice cream (not much).

My dog right now is picky eater 😢😢😢😢 10months old Maltese I’m so stressed and I am sad at they same time because he didn’t eat
Oh no!! You know, what solved our picky eating issues was me limiting their food. Like I computed for the right amount that they eat. I realized- they might have been overfed before.
Great video! What are Bailey’s symptoms for Gastrointestinal Issues? Is there a specific test to know if your dog has GI issues? Thank you!

@@poodlemom Hi, I think I am dealing with this same exact thing with our dog. Can you tell me what the vet diagnosed your dog with?
I just got a toy poodle and your videos are super helpful and informative. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for tunning in! Really happy the videos help!

Try to put warm water and boiled chicken breast

@@poodlemom I have cooked for her and sometimes even that doesn't appeal to her. If I cook it is chicken breast, rice and afew mixed veggies.
@@shariduppong4554 Have you tried the recipe I shared her on this channel for her? That’s one more to add in your list of meals for her. :)

You are describing my life right now
Oh boy! I am so sorry to hear this!! Can you tell me more about it?
My 2 and a half toy poodle she don't like to eat dry food only cook chicken and steak and she just wait for me to give her a treat 😮💨
Oh boy that's tough! I feel for you! This is why I shifted them to cooked and raw food XD
Amazing 🤩
Thank you! Cheers! How have you been?
@@poodlemom I have been watching your vids a lot and they are amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🐶
Do you still cook the food for your dogs?
Absolutely! ^^ I have found a way to keep it sustainable for my kind of lifestyle ^^

Agreed. Unfortunately my dogs are pets. So, they have the luxury to be picky I guess?
Hi, can I give my toy poodles bokchoy?
Hello! In my experience yes. Always in moderation and provided that they like it! hahahahah
4.20 omg..that is so me *guilty*
LOL!!!! Don’t worry me too years back 😂😂😂😂
And Yes I'm guilty i do what you did on the video🙈
Hahahah it's no biggie, we all made the same mistakes XD at some point in time hahaha

Huhu! I feel for you!!
Your accent is so funny
Thank you :)
Fuking just dont feed them for 3days will see what happened.
Do that without checking their health first and face the lifelong gastro issues I am facing with my dogs now :)
