Question

How do i get my dog to eat her dog food after her being on people food with her other owner what do i do?

Answer 1

Hi! :)

Feed a high quality kibble (like Merrick, Wellness, etc) that your dog loves (some pet stores will give you sample bags).  Also try getting some canned food (same high quality) and mix a little of it in the kibble.  

Answer 2

well u have to mix human food and dog food together. lets say your dog likes cheese. put in a small amount of dog food(depending on the size of your dog) and then put in a lot of cheese(again depending on the dogs size). then, day after day, put in more dog food and less cheese.

Answer 3

Stop feeding the animal human food.  I feed my dog a mix of dry and wet, you can get wet food packs for around .82/pack.  My dog weighs 35lbs, and I feed her about a cup and a half or two cups of dry and half a pouch of wet dog food.

Your dog may reject it for a day (UNLIKELY!) but he's NOT going to let himself go hungry.  Your dog is an animal, and it's INSTINCTS will not allow him to starve if there is food available to him!  Don't be uncomfortable if your dog skips eating for one day, it's HONESTLY NOT going to kill him, he has to realize that whatever you are feeding him is now what is available.  The truth of the matter is, your dog doesn't REMEMBER eating human food.  He doesn't remember his previous masters habbits, even if they were only together last week!  Animals don't remember, they act purly on instinct.  Make the food that you plan to feed your dog available at the time you want to feed him each day.  He'll eat when he's hungry.

Answer 4

You put her food down for 15 minutes and you let her eat if she wants..if she does not eat, you pick it up and try the exact same thing the next day and the day after that until she eats and believe me, she will eat when she is hungry enough. No healthy dog will starve to death when there is food available.

Do not give in and do not let her eat anything other then her food.

Hope I helped!

Answer 5

mix with human and slowly take a little human food then all dog food

Answer 6

You could try weaning her, like you would wean a baby. Start by adding a little dog food to her people food and work up to adding a little people food to her dog food until it's all dog food. Be a little sneaky. Dog food is better for her, so don't feel that you're being nasty to her.

Answer 7

mix alittle moist dog food with the dry dog food

Answer 8

u need to mix in human food with the dog food, and slowley reduce the amount you add, after about a week only give her dog food

it might be great to give her a little bit of cheese to mix in, my dog loves that. also, dogs like wet food more then dry, so try mixing that and she might think that its human food

Answer 9
