Question by Amanda C: How do I get my dog to eat her dried food?
My puppy (11 month old Terrier mix) wont eat her dry food. I have tried a few different brands, but she just doesnt seem interested. When I first adopted her, she was given canned food. I dont want her eating that anymore and she just doenst really like dried food. I started to mix steamed rice with her food and she eats mostly the rice and some of the food. She will eat the dry food if she is really hungry and has to eat something. How do I get her to start eating the dry food without the rice?

Some of the best food I’ve eaten didnt smell good looks bomb though
kidzz super cute!!
just mix a little of the gravy that comes in the dog food packages. My dog would only eat our table food, but once you mix in some stuff they actually like the next time they eat they might not realize its not in the dry food. My dog loves his dry food now.
There’s a product out there called Nupro. It is a vitiman suppliment, but it also makes a gravy that my dog likes. She won’t be able to pick around it.
I used it for my dog who had the same problem- worked great.
Try mixing the dry food very well with the canned food…this worked with my dog, they have the lids to seal the canned food and I mixed at first half and half, one scoop of dry with 1 small can of wet and from there lightened the canned to 1 scoop dry 1/2 small can etc. This helped her to adjust to the dry food until she was just eating dry food.
Hope this helps!!!
Rice is only really good when they have a watery stomach, as it provides mass, my ex’s greyhound was given that to treat his stomach problem.
However, you have to be cruel to be kind, I mean by all means ring the vet for advice as a good practice will always offer advice, but, I would offer the dried food in the morning, if she doesn’t want it, take it away and offer it in the evening, offer no substitute. She will eventually realise that this is food and that she will eat it.
But it comes down to the dog at the end of the day, with any food though, it should not be left down during the day, only put down when it is teir feeding time. Its hard to do as you want them to be ok. but ask the vets for advice.
There were some good points here:
Dog-food gravy works like a charm (or even people gravy that comes in a packet and you mix with water – it’s a lot cheaper).
Ignore the problem – the dog WILL eat eventually, it won’t let itself starve… UNLESS
There is a problem you aren’t considering: which may be that since it is still a puppy the dog food is way to hard for it’s little puppy teeth. Or, it may be loosing it’s teeth to make way for it’s adult teeth (dogs do that just like people) and it’s gums are sore. You can try wetting the food with a little water and letting it get a little soggy before you give it to your dog.
I had a Great Dane that was like that his whole life totally spoiled. I tried and tried to just not feed him anything else offering him his dry dog food only. He would only eat enough to servive. He just wasn’t maintaining a good weight. Then I tried to add the craps and yes he picked them out as well. Then I thought why not try the gravy train type dog food. Well he really hated that. I was at my wits end. Now keep in mind I had three dogs at the time and only he had food issues. Well please don’t scream at me dog lovers but I finally found a middle ground. For the last 5 years of his life I actually cooked for this dog. I used the basic dry dog food and I cooked the topping for it as it were. It was always different and involved what the family was having most of the time. His favorites were actually tomato sauces and of course steak or meat red eye (which is whatever meat you cook in a pan a tad of oil heat and mix in water. It is a thin gravy). You can also make a thin gravy with a tiny amount of flower added. This is great if you cooked chicken on the stove or even baked. The point is this more watery gravy can be mixed into the dry dog food. It gives them the feeling and taste of table food and they can’t pick out what they want . They have to eat the food. Also I kept a few gravy just add water packets when I didn’t have anything on hand. I few times I even cooked him chip beef. That is the dried beef browned in a pan with a tad of oil then add a little flower and water making the same thin gravy. Yes he was spoiled but I knew someone that cooked full meals for her poodle broiled chicken and vegs.
Of course there is the method of offerring the food once in the morning. If he doesn’t eat take it away and do the same thing in the morning. The dog will get hungry enough to eat. Nothing in between and no people food or treats ever. Evita
Don’t give her anything else. She’ll eat it when she gets hungry.
Iams sells a vita-gravy to add to dry dog foods. I believe there is a puppy formula too. My dog loves it. Just add a little bit and stir it up. I gives the food just enough coating to intice them to eat. Its about 3 dollars a bottle and will last a while if you are conservative w/ it. I buy mine at petco.
You have your answer. When she gets hungry enough she’ll eat it.
i had that problem too i got a can of beef or chicken broth and added it to his food it worked however you might want th consider that maybe she has problems with her teeth and the dry dog food just hurts to eat it. i hope that’s not the case but keep it in mind
The rice was a good beginninig…
Here are some other ideas.
cook your rice…
cook some ground beef with enough water to make gravy.
mix them both.
stir some into the kibble at each meal.
It’ll coat the kibble with the gravy and that’ll get her to eat more kibble.
cook ground beef and add enough water to make gravy.
you blend it as above. the only difference here is no rice.
cook ground beef
add enough water to make gravy
add some flour to thicken the gravy.
run it through the blender so its ONLY beef gravy.
blend it with kibble as above.
In doing this, follow some basic rules:
1- if you make a largish batch, split it in small portions and freeze most of it for future use
2- use more tidbit/gravy at first and slowly use less over time
3- always stir the meat/rice or meat or gravy into the kibble thoroughly to coat the kibble so she can’t eat the goodies without eating the kibble.
Stop mixing things into the dried food and pick a quality brand that you want to feed the dog for most of the rest of her life. Switching foods frequently can make a picky eater out of your dog and if not switched properly cause digestive problems.
Set a feeding schedule for your dog (I feed mine twice daily) set the food down in a bowl for the dog. Give her a set amount of time like 10 minutes to eat, whether she eats or not pick up bowl at end of time. Do not put bowl down again until next designated feeding. Dogs by nature will not starve themselves so it will eat when it is hungry enough. Just make sure it stays hydrated. I found out my picky eater could make it three days before caving.
Keep in mind during this training period DO NOT give your dog any other foods or treats until she is eating out of her bowl regularly.
