Could use some help guys. Our rescue dog just plain won't eat dry dog food even if we mix it with wet can food. We've tried everything even pouring gravy over it and all different kinds of broth but no matter what we try he just won't eat it unless it comes in a can. Anyone make their own dog food or find a healthy alternative that works? Thanks in advance.
We had one like that. It was hard, but we just held fast. No toppings, no treats. Food was down for 20 minutes at a time. If he didn't eat, he didn't eat. My wife was not happy about it, but eventually they both understood that I wasn't going to give in.
Now, he eats (or doesnt) dry food. There is no table begging. No begging at all for people food, really.
Dogs are smart. Once they learn you can be trained, it's over.
