Although it’s usually just a matter of pushing through with a stubborn German Shepherd, there might be an underlying health reason that your dog won’t eat. If your dog refuses food for two days (24 hours for puppies), you should take him to the vet for a check-up. Check out my outrageously detailed article on the best diet for German Shepherds, including a section on raw diets and some great advice concerning the safe and proper handling of raw foods. Whether you want to completely change their diet or add a few raw meals every so often is up to you. These diets include raw beef, fish, cheese, and certain vegetables. Many studies prove that dogs do well with raw diets that mimic what they’d eat in the wild. Remember also that dogs can sense any stress or anxiety you may feel due to them being finicky, which can worsen the situation.
They’ll eventually eat their food, bringing them one step closer to a normal diet. If your GSD is having trouble and being a bit too fussy, you need to stick to your plan and have the mindset to wait it out. Some German Shepherds can be very dominant and stubborn, especially males.
Be persistent and patient throughout the process.Most reputable brands will have helpful feeding guides or calculators on their websites or packaging to help with this. When a dog doesn’t have enough food and is worried that the food in front of them won’t suffice, they will start to beg and depend on handouts. Along with quality, the amount of food they’re eating could have something to do with their fussiness. Make sure you’re feeding them the correct quantity of food.You can also make a “special place” where they always eat and keep them away from your mealtimes by feeding them first so that they won’t be hungry or show bad behavior such as begging or barking for your food. German Shepherds can go for hours or even an entire day without eating.
FINICKY DOG EATER FREE
Free feeding is not a good option for finicky eaters. If your dog’s body tells them it’s time to eat, they’re much more likely to eat the food you put in front of them. Dogs are like humans because you can train their body clocks for sleep, energy, and hunger. You might need to add a topping to their meals with something to moisten it up, such as a spoonful of plain yogurt or unsalted chicken broth. Whether it’s because their teeth aren’t sharp enough or have become sensitive, or their digestive systems just can’t handle it due to their sensitive stomach. Some dogs can’t handle the consistency of their kibble.
