He loves cat food and all sorts of people food. I keep dog food out for him but he just wont eat it. He loves vegetables. How can I get him to eat dog food? I've tried so many!!

I will suggest dont compell your dog to eat dog food.Rather give him human food and vegitables.It is good for them.I also have three dogs and they eat vegitables.They are fine and healthy.Actually vegitables keeps dogs healthy and free of diseases.

If you dont offer him the other foods and only have his dog food available then sooner or later he is gonna have to eat it. I think thats the best way to break them. if he simply just doesnt like the food you have for him, maybe try a gravy kind of dog food or something. try differant kinds with him and maybe you will bump into a good one. but I would think that the gravy ones just about any dog would go crazy for.

I've tried cheap food, expensive food. I think he thinks he's human. He stays in the house and has so many of our human qualities.

Have you tried mixing people food in with his dog food? If that doesn't work, you should stop giving your dog people food and don't let him near the cat food. Just put dog food out for him. He will get hungry enough to eat it.
