hi, shes 12 month now. since climate is getting hotter, she started eating less. she dont eat kibble or floor bread, she like milk and yogurt, feeding eggs or non veg things to my dog can cause problem in this hot summer. so what is good thing to give..
Is she losing weight and getting too skinny? At her age she may not need as much food as she used to because she is no longer growing. Where are you? I would have guessed India or Australia but those places must be heading into winter now, not summer. How hot does it get in summer, where you are? We store our kibble in a cold room and only take out enough to feed the dog for a couple of weeks at a time. This is probably overkill but we worry too about food exposed to hot summer weather going bad. You say your dog won't eat kibble though so where do you store the food stuffs like eggs and non veg that you eat yourself? I assume your pup is on a raw diet? Some people buy a whole separate freezer to keep that food in.
I would be concerned about only feeding my dog only milk and yogurt, that will not give him the proper nutrition he needs. Is there a reason why he won't eat kibble? If there are no allergy or other health issues, my advice would be to only feed kibble and cut out the other supplements that you might be giving, which the dog might prefer to eat but which won't give them the proper nutrition. If the dog gets hungry enough he will eat the kibble.
India is in the Northern Hemisphere so is heading into the warmer months. I'd just keep feeding a good quality kibble. Make sure clean, cool water is available at all times and that your dog has access to shade. Milk and yoghurt isn't enough for a dog. If that's all your dog is getting then she'll get sick. Don't try to feed your dog a vegetarian diet - it is too difficult to try to get the nutrition right and it won't be good for your dog. Putting a bit of milk on her kibble to get her to eat it is fine - you could see if that works. You will have to throw it out if she doesn't eat it right away though - you can't leave milk sitting around in the heat.
Even though I know it is the northern hemisphere, I would have thought the same, so no need to be embarassed
I dont know what to do. She just hate kibble. I give her royal canine and tried other high qualitu feeds. I never gave low quity. She just throw the bowl away with her mouth. She like bread. There is one low quality brand it is "pedigree" i taken 100 grams from my friend. She liked it but i dont know it is good for her. That is bad situation for me. I cant make home made food. Im always in office. I do what possible i can do. She likes cheeze. And one thing to mention. I tried to gave her liquid pouch(drool focus) She liked it. But i dont know its good for her or not.
I have to say I am a bit strict on this one. Royal Canin is a good food. I would put her food down, maybe moistened with some warm water, no extras, and leave it down for half an hour, removing it after this if she doesn't eat it. Do the same at teatime. And again next morning if needed. If she is hungry she will eat. Put fresh food out each time, don't reuse it. If you give her tit-bits in between meals that are more "interesting" than her kibble she will hold out for them and not eat kibble. That would be my plan unless I was worried about her gaining weight, or there was vomiting or loose poos or blood.
are you sure she's not just playing with the bowl. Rory likes to pick up and throw both his water bowl and food bowls around even if they have food and water in them I just give him his dry food on the floor I just scatter it about and he excitedly chases it about until he's found it all. It might be just too hot to eat i'd carry on with the dry Royal Canine but give her smaller portions.
