Not interested in his food

[Bev_M]

Hamish is 6 months and is growing and looking really well. he is on JWB, but does not eat as much as recommended he eats about half that. He is lively too. Often leaves half his food, he is on  two meals a day and is never really interested in breakfast

Guess they are all different.

thanks all

well I tihnk I have it sussed, this morning (as he still can not go for walks) I managed to persuade him to leave his bed and play in the garden.  Well 20 minutes later he is in scoffing everything in sight

I put a little warm water on his food and he has just hovered it up

YEAH   success

Brillian news.  He just needs to work up an appetite.

thanks

He will sleep all day given half the chance.  He is now running around the garden with my son, hoping this will do the trick.  Think he is slowly coming round to the idea that he is a puppy and playing is fun

Hope you've got it sorted, I just wanted to add that the first thing our dog trainer told us to do was get them interested in food. He told us to leave it down for 10 mins then throw it away and not to give anything until the next meal time'. He said that most dogs will catch on very quickly and to telephone him if they haven't eaten after 4 days, he also added that he has never had anybody telephone him!

if it is dry food why do you throw it away?
