Got A Fussy Eater For A Pet? Try These Changes To Make Things Right!


There is a similarity between pets and children, some could be easy-going and others have a fussy edge. However when this fussiness hampers their health through denial of having food then it usually leaves the pet owners stressed and concerned.

There could be many reasons for your pet being a picky eater. If your pooch or kitty has become a fussy eater very recently then there may be some underlying illness. If the conditions remain consistent after trying some change in food habits then it is recommended to get a veterinary check up.

Tips to make food interesting for fussy eaters:
  • Your pet might be missing your company while eating. Try staying by his side till he fills his tummy.
  • Some pets prefer petting while others find solace in eating by themselves. Try petting and using comforting tone to make your pet eat if he is the former one.
  • Uninteresting food may be one of the causes for your pet’s food denial. Try adding a small amount of canned food to make his meal enticing and palatable.
  • Dressing your pet’s food with some spices such as oregano, basil and parsley may serve your purpose.
  • Serving cold or dry food may have messed with smelling senses of your pooch. Warming the food to body temperature may enhance the aroma of the food which is the key to entice dog’s urge to eat.
  • May be the time has come to change your pet’s diet. Start adding small portions of a new diet to your pet’s old diet and see the change. If your pet still has issues then you may need to consult the vet.
  • Pets can be touchy sometimes! What they simply want from you is that you feed them with your own hands. This may happen either if you have already inculcated that habit and are now changing, or you are not giving enough attention to them. Try feeding them from your hands for a change and notice the difference.
These are some changes that you should try to make your fussy pet eat his meals. Keep calm during this period and make appropriate efforts to feed your pooch or kitty. Now let’s get on work!
