I did, and it took a while to find the food he liked. You need to find what he likes.

he likes chicken.and meat. i.gave him meat last night. no idea why he has to.smell it first and leaving it untouched. while with ice cream, he licks it right away

Good. Mine is like a kid. You have to hand-feed him, tell him it is delicious and keep telling him how good boy he is, unless it’s cheese ice cream-no more drama

@Janet357 Well you could try putting ice cream on some dog food and see what happens.

Our dog is picky. We bought different kinds of dog food for him in the past, but he only likes one type of food. Now we only buy that type of food. If we buy the other types of food he just leaves the food in the bowl without touching it.

@Janet357 He likes our food, and he gets leftovers sometimes, but most of the time he eats his own food. It also depends what we are eating. Some of our food is not good for him for instance spicy food and we never give him that.

Our little dog Mush is very picky but our other dog Gizmo will eat anything. I talk sweet to Mush every night when it's time to eat hoping it will coax her into enjoying her dinner.

@Janet357 most times it does but it's frustrating. I always thought dogs would eat anything

@Janet357 My cat I had before Sophie only liked certain things and if tried something new with her she would not eat it. So, I had to get her what she likes. Sophie likes what I buy her to eat.

I have two cats. But hey are not too bad. They eat cat food, no table food for them.

We do find our pets a picky when it comes to food, but they eat b/c there are several and we think they don't want the other dogs to get their bowl. We make dog food for our dogs and add some drive kibble for the crunch that is supposed to be important for their teeth.
