How to Feed Your Dog Anything

February 6, 2012 by PetFoodia

Dogs are a man’s best friend and this is said for a reason.  A dog is a highly trainable pet that is protective of its master and this is one of the main reasons why people have dogs at home.  Taking care of a dog though might be hard for a new owner.  Just like having your first baby, you will not know what to do and you will have to ask advice from people who have experienced what you are having trouble with.  A lot of people ask what if dog will not eat dog food.  This is a problem for a lot of new dog owners because dog food is specifically made for dogs and owners panic when their dogs do not eat food made for them.

This problem is not a hard problem to solve.  One of the main causes of dogs not eating dog food is because they are not used to it.  When the puppy was born, if you started feeding it with human food, the dog will get used to it and the taste of dog food will be weird for it.  This is just similar to how a person who gets used to a certain brand of water with a certain taste will find the taste of other brands of water weird.  Feeding a dog with normal human food and for an extended period of time and feeding it dog food the next day will not work for most dogs.  Your dog will think that the human food is the only type of edible food and that the dog food that you are serving it is not food.

One of the best ways to solve this problem is to mix dog food with the human food that you normally serve your dog.  This way, your dog will have no other choice but to consume the dog food along with the human food.  You will have to do this for a few days and as days go by, you can reduce the amount of human food that you serve until your dog learns how to eat dog food by itself.  Buying a different brand of dog food can also work depending on what your dog likes.  Some dogs like the smell of chicken while other dogs prefer beef.  Try different dog food flavors to know what your dog likes to be sure that it will eat what you serve it.

Another way to solve this problem is to not serve your dog anything else.  A dog will not die missing a few meals.  When your dog is really hungry, it will have no choice but to eat the food on the plate which will be the dog food.  It might be hard to see your dog not eating but it is something that you must do if it does not eat any kind of dog food that you feed it.  Only the first step is the hardest and your dog will start getting used to the taste of dog food after the first meal.
