Here goes! I got my Nala about 4 weeks ago from the Humaine Society. I got her puppy food called Nutro and she ate it all at once twice a day when I fed her. Well I god a small bag of pedigree puppy food and she seemed to like it but not eat all at once, but I thought that she liked it so I got a big bag of it for her. Well the past few days she has not really eaten at all. I had to hand feed her on Wednesday night her whole bowl and yesterday (Thanksgiving) I put Turkey juice on her food and she ate it all up and now she wont touch her normal food this morning. Should I change back or give it some time? IP: Logged |

haha!! No-Offense to you Nala. I'm just laughing for your pup. Sounds like to me that your pup knows quality. I'm pretty much thinking that she knows what she likes, and that the switch was probably something she "did'nt" like. I'd recommend going back to the previous brand, and switch amoungst their varieties. Otherwise, if you have a little more dollars you can add to your dogs daily food, i'd go w/ something m o r e wholesome, like those foods/kibbles we like to call "human-grade". Canidae or Chicken Soup, out here where i'm located is pretty much the same price as if i were to buy Eukanuba. Those 2 are great dog foods, i'm pretty sure she'll like. And if she does, i'm pretty confident she will thrive... . IP: Logged |

Are you sure Nala isnt sick? If she was eating it before and then has all of a sudden stopped maybe her stomach is upset. Did you gradually swich the food or did you change it all at once? That can upset their stomaches. If you have any doubts if she isnt feeling well I would take her to the vet asap. I wouldnt swich her back just yet as that can upset her stomach even more. My dogs love love love nutro. I have been feeding bil-jac with a mixture of chicken a rice and they definately prefer the nutro over the bil-jac. IP: Logged |

No I did not change it that fast. I gave her the whole big bag of Nutro and then I bought a little bag of Pedigree. She ate the pedigree at first but not all at once but she did seem to like it or I would not have got a big bag of it. But just the past couple of days she barely touches it so I am thinking I go get a small bag of the Nutro and see what happens? Maybe.. IP: Logged |

Did you gradually change it by mixing the two? If you want to swich her back start by doing 90% pedigree and 10% nutro and gradually increase the amount of nutro and decrease the amount of pedigree until you are no longer using the pedigree. IP: Logged |

Definately spoiled rotten!! DOn't worry Charllotte is the same way. She won't eat Science diet or Purina, but Pedigree Small cruchy bites... Silly girl, when she's pregnant we feed her canned food with her dry and then she'll only eat the wet food. Silly girl, she's definately spoiled. Her daddy (Granvel my Boyfriend) has her so rotten, whenever she sees those golden arches from Mac Donalds, she starts to whine and throw a little fit like a kid!!! I know she can't smell it, cuz you can see the sign from a mile down the road when we're on the interstate! IP: Logged |
