Hi, I have a problem. It is totally my fault,but hereit goes. I made the mistake of giving my dogs people food mixed in with their dog food as well as canned food mixed in with their dry food. It has gotten to the point now that they will not eat their dog food they like out all the people food and leave the rest. My husband says I should just give them their dog food and sooner or later they will get the hint and start eating it. So I tried it for one day and the looked so sad I broke down gave them people food, they just looked so sad. I evidentally have no backbone. Their sad little faces looking at me while I ate my food kills me. I need to know if I should do what my husband says, he says they will not starve themselves that when they get hungry enough they will eat. Do you agree or does anyone have any ideas PLEASE. By the way for the record my husband broke down also, evidentally he also has no backbone. Thanks So Much!

why don,t you try mixing the two types of food together and gradually reducing the people food. or try pouring gravy over the dog food my puppy Dax loves it.

I think your husband is right. I dont think a dog would starve it self. Maybe also try mixing food for a few days as the other post suggested. Most dogs know how to get what they want from their owner so im sure yours know how to play on your emtions and get you to give them the 'good stuff'. Good luck and hope all goes well for you. Maybe someone with better advice will come along.
