Finicky dogs can be difficult to feed. When they become so selective that they won’t even accept their regular meals, seeking advice from a veterinarian may be worthwhile – rather than offering extra treats just to satisfy them, this won’t provide them with the proper balanced diet they require.
Food that will appeal to picky eaters includes food with various flavors and ingredients, along with plenty of meat for variety and sustenance.
