For past few months, our raw fed 1 1/2 yr old turns his nose up at meal time at least three times per week. He is a generally a non-exciteable dog and never showed a ton of enthusiasm when we put down his food. Lately, I sometimes add some sardines or organic chicken broth to food but don't want get into habit of doctoring his food just to get him to eat. The broth has potato and starch in ingredients, so I don't want to aggravate his skin. Other than outdoor allergies, I think he is in good health, he has great poops and enjoys playing and loving.
It is very frustrating as an owner because 1) the food is not cheap and 2) I know he would eat anything hot if we put in front of him. My wife babies him and I think he wants to hold out for something that tastes better. We'll also throw a piece of cheese in sometimes, but again he took a lick and walked away.
For his age, I would like him to be a bit heavier, he weighs 115 but I may have to go to feeding once/day.
Would appreciate insight to those have experienced similar finicky DDB eaters. Thanks all!
