Are your pets fussy?

Our dog eats almost anything. He likes his own food, the cat's food, dinner scraps etc. Our cat is completely different. We have bought different kinds of food for her, but she only likes a few different things, and if she doesn't get the food that she wants, she doesn't eat anything at all. She seems to be a very fussy eater. What about your pets? Are they fussy or do they eat most things?

not my pets, they are happy to have food, but again, a goodly number of them came to us as strays, so they are grateful! of course, the roomie's dog, Zoe will eat cat poop too

Our dog sometimes eats the cat's poop as well. It is a disgusting habit, and we have tried to stop him, but it is dfficult, because if we close the door the cat can't use the litter box, and then she starts using the living room as a toilet. I would like to find a way to stop him, but I haven't found a solution yet.

depends on the size of the dog - if its big, maybe put the litter in a room that you can get the cats to squeeze in the door but the dog can't or maybe a child gate to keep the dog away from the litter box

I'm glad to see my dogs aren't the only ones who are so fussy. They refuse to eat dry dog food, but will go for the DRY cat food as soon as I turn my back. Otherwise they will eat anything, except for ANY brand of dog food I give to them. My cats on the other hand, except for one, are happy with anything including the dog food. Our oldest cat will only eat one brand of cat food though.

Hi mklegg2010 and welcome to MyLot. My parent's dog is very fussy, too. She doesn't eat much and she only likes certain kinds of food. I was very surpriced that my own dog likes everything, I didn't expect that. We have to keep the cat's food away from him, otherwise he would eat it all, because he is much faster than the cat.

My dogs practically eat almost anything, she even eats fruits and sometimes hate to say this but she eats waste from another dog(very bad). Our newly adopted cat (half Siamese) is a picky eater. Maybe she will like friskies, im about to buy her food.
