So we started of with 3 meals a day and have now reduced to two except Millie never really eats much. Kibble was being left so we soaked it as we thought it might be her teeth, then we gradually added wet food to see if that helped which it did for a bit. Now we've weaned her on to wet food only and meals are being left again. Any ideas we could try. I thought labs were supposed to be greedy. Other than that Millie seems fine in herself playing, walking and toileting normally
Re: Millie not eating properly How much are you feeding her relative to the manufacturer's recommendation? Maybe she is a small lab and just doesn't need as much as you think? If she is otherwise healthy and happy, try reducing the amount you give until she eats it all in one go. Mira went through a phase when she was maybe 4-6 months ( can't really remember) when she didn't seem that interested in food. It wasn't permanent!
Re: Millie not eating properly Is Millie gaining weight ok? Pooping and weeing fine? If you are going to stick with wet food only, you will have to watch her teeth - might need to start toothbrushing or use some good quality dental chews. Have you tried her on anything raw? It is a worry. Not had the eating problem myself, but a friend of mine tried her cockerpoo on every dry food known to man and has ended up on raw - not something you should take on lightly, but just wondering if you have tried e.g. an egg, or a sardine, or raw mince, veggies etc
Re: Millie not eating properly Harley goes through stages of not eating. It took us a few changes of food to find one she likes. We use Bob and Lush - expensive, but worth it. She has wet food and kibble mixed each meal.
