The trials and tribulations of Lilly eating habits continue
Since we had Lilly we changed foods countless amount of times! If it wasn't for Shy love for her food i could have opened pet food store by now! I can honestly say i tried most of premium brands available in uk wet and dry! It is getting beyond me how picky is my lil madam ! I know that picky eaters aren't born they are created but trust me on this one i tried everything -tough love for 2 weeks by leaving food for 15 min them taking it away -this resulted in lilly weight loss , tried hand feeding also rotating flavours ,adding bits to her regular food etc watching lilly eat is like watching paint drying!!
I need to add that we do not feed lilly human food at all -thats the rule in our house
Feeding dry or ready complete wet food its easiest option for us as i got no clue where to start with raw feeding and got no space to add another freezer
Im running out of options on what to do - im getting upset mad angry at the same time
I would be grateful for any advice as i have run out of options

UGH!! I know you said no human food, but does that in clude things like yogurt, frozen veggies or fruit? Have you tried any of those as toppers to get her interest? Or maybe, some beef broth/stock?

:hmm: that's a tough one especially since you've already tried the tough love approach. Have you ever tried home cooked yet?

Lola was the same, we ended up feeding her raw patties. Now she gobbles it up. Miracle
