Corresponding measures for each cause

Tired of eating:

Change the dog food and change the taste. You can even get tired of eating beef if you eat the same flavor all year round.

There is no fragrance after soaking dog food:

This is why when new people ask what a puppy should eat for one or two months, they will always recommend dog food soaked in goat milk. Because if soaked in plain water, there will be no fragrance╮(╯▽╰)╭, so goat milk actually plays the role of attracting food.

Really talking about nutrition, just two or three spoons of milk powder, only 10-20 grams, there is really no nutrition to talk about.

It is recommended to buy goat milk powder for human consumption, the big brand "full-fat pure goat milk powder", remember, the formula list must only have "goat milk powder"~

Because some formula milk powder will add lactose, and the extracted lactose basically comes from milk, which is a way to reduce costs.

I think natural dog food is not fragrant:

Those who have tried commercial food and natural food will find that cheap dog food is more fragrant than expensive dog food, with a strong meaty aroma... so it is not When some dogs switch from food with a strong meaty scent to attractant food to real natural dog food with a light meaty scent, they are completely uncomfortable...

There is only one solution at this time: hungry!

Don’t eat, okay! Take away the bowl! Still not eating? Keep taking away the bowl!

Moldy dog ​​food:

This is the conclusion drawn from many real cases: a dog’s nose can tell whether dog food is moldy to a certain extent.

There are many real-life cases where dogs suddenly became less and less fond of dog food, and eventually refused to eat it. It didn’t take long to finally diagnose liver problems, kidney problems, etc.

The liver and kidneys are the organs responsible for detoxification in the body. If mold grows in dog food, the mold will produce various toxins such as toxins, such as aflatoxin. After these toxins are taken into the dog's body with the dog food, they are detoxified through the liver and kidneys. Over time, the liver and kidneys become overloaded, leading to various problems and even failure.

So our response is simple: strengthen preservation and prevent mildew.

If you want to buy food packaging bags and sealing machines, you can pack and seal yourself every time you buy a big bag of dog food, etc. Think about it yourself~

Illness leads to poor appetite:

When people are sick, do they lose their appetite?appetite? The same goes for dogs~

In this case, there is no need to force yourself to eat as much as you want. Treat the disease first and take good care of your body. If you are healthy, eat more and digest well, you will naturally gain weight~

Causes of estrus:

When a male dog encounters a female dog in estrus, he will feel "sexy" for a while and have no interest in eating anything.

Similarly, when female dogs come to aunt, some of them will also have "dysmenorrhea", and naturally they will lose energy and appetite. What does dysmenorrhea feel like? I believe many girls have experienced it.

In both cases, they will usually recover on their own once the period of "spring" or "estrus" has passed, so don't worry too much~

Causes of high temperature:

Dogs generally lose their appetite in hot summer weather, which is normal.

Measures: Just pay attention to cooling down the heat, just eat less, it won’t be a big deal.

Ultimate VS Picky Eating Measures

Method 1: Cultivate a sense of urgency

Limit a time limit for each meal, such as ten minutes starting from the meal, and take it away before you finish eating , take it away while you are still eating it! (If you are naturally slow to eat, you can give more time, such as fifteen minutes)

The next time you give a meal, it will still be the same. Eat for 10-15 minutes each time and take it away before it is finished. After that, the dog will have to wait for the next meal.

It is to let the dogs know that if they don’t eat, the food will be gone, and they won’t be able to eat it if they want to.

Method 2: Starvation method for several days

Puppy 1-2 days

Big dog 2-3 days

Premise: Make sure the dog is completely healthy, has no vaccinations and is not sick, otherwise don’t come to me if something happens~

Method: Unlimited water supply, but no food, nothing! Snacks included!

Don’t worry, dogs are more afraid of being full than hungry. Hungry will not cause any problems~

After I finish my hunger, believe it or not, I give Xiang everything to eat.

Method Three: Competitor Method

This is the conclusion drawn from the actual experience of the group.

There is an eight-year-old dog in the group. For a while, he was picky and refused to eat. He even had to stuff meat into his mouth bit by bit... Then a new member happened to come, a new dog, which inspired the old dog. Grandpa has a fighting spirit that refuses to admit defeat. Now he has never heard of being picky about food, and he is full of energy every day.
