RE: Decreased Puppy Appetite: Cause For Concern?

in Hive Pets3 years ago

I suspect that she is a smart dog and she picks up on the fact that she gets extra attention if she doesn't eat.

Oh she knows. She knows I have a soft spot for her. So I'm actually spoiling her 🥺

I suggest maybe you "forget" to feed her. I don't mean altogether! I mean that you feed her maybe two hours late. Wait until she is very hungry and wondering what is wrong with you. I think if you do this, at first, she will try to keep getting sympathy and love, but then, after a week or two, she will just eat.

You see, I was doing this before. She would always go back to eat the food hours later but then she stopped doing that. That's why I got worried.

I'll stop the hand-feeding and ignore her a while, let's see what happens.

Thanks for your response ❤
