About this video:
If you have a picky eater, a dog who won’t eat their food, or a dog who only eats with toppers, this video will help. I explain why dogs stop eating, what picky eating really means, and how to create a healthy feeding routine that supports your dog’s emotional well-being.
Some dogs struggle with appetite because of anxiety, stress, or irregular routines — and fixing the feeding routine can dramatically improve behavior and training success.
In this video, you’ll learn:
• Why your dog won’t eat
• What causes picky eating
• How to build a consistent feeding routine
• How to find the right quantity
• How to help your dog develop healthy eating habits
• What to do if your dog is underweight

I can’t begin to tell you how much this video helps me with my picky dog, this is the best I’ve seen on this topic. THANK YOU!!!! 💓
When I adopted my dog in December he only wanted can type junk dog food. It’s obvious by his behaviour he was given a lot of junk food. To this day begs, but knows we won’t give, so will eventually lay down while we eat. Doctor wanted him to have Science Diet for seniors, dry, but would not eat all by itself. I give a small sliver of Healthy Pet roll smashed and smaller qty of SD dry. I was shocked to hear in your video the feeding qty suggested is often too much. I’ve tried to give him carrots, berries, some broccoli, but so far no interest.
Dogs are very smart when it comes to eating. If a dog’s stomach is full, or if the dog is constipated, or just has an upset stomach, it will not eat.
Give your dog proper food, and I can guarantee that they’ll always be excited with their food!!!! Throw away all dry and ultraprocessed food.
