Hello All,
New to posting but have been reading the forum for some time! I have a new english bulldog princess named "Bailey" who is as stubborn as it gets when it comes to eating. Overall shes a healthy and beautiful puppy, EXTREMELY energetic, and has a nice soft coat. But just wont eat a normal amount. When I got her at 7 1/2 weeks she was 9 1/2 pounds and eating Royal canin. I bought one 12 lb bag to switch her off after transitioning to her new home and got her on merrick. At first she would eat some but now she just eats a couple and walks away until i give in and sit down and hand feed her a bit but still will only eat a handfull. Did some research on high calorie kibbles and came accross "Bully Max" which was 535 calories per cup and had 5 stars on dogadvisor. Also got the gorilla max powder supplement and pills mostly for the vitamins and nutrients. Hates it all aswell lol Only way she eats the powder gorilla max is mixed with plain yogurt and the pills she just spits out. Only food items she seems to love is a boiled egg with shell that i give her about 4-5 times a week and plain greek yogurt. I also give her salmon oil. Im afraid shes not getting enough calories per day as a pup and with how active she is it worries me. Went home after a meeting to feed her today and got some organic natural peanut butter with lowest sodium possible and come mozzarella cheese. She licked the peanut butter but right away got itchy and was rubbing paw and head on floor so i tossed that out. She did like the mozzarella cheese but im not going to feed her a bunch of junk either. Any advice on how to get my pup to eat her kibbles ??? I mix the kibbles with plain yogurt and she will eat it just because its mixed but not near the amount needed. Was thinking of switching her to boiled chicken and throw in a little bit of plain white rice and chicken broth with some puree veggies. Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated !
