Unfortunately, in every case of a picky dog – it is us, the pet parent, that has taught (or trained) them to be picky. We make sure children eat their greens because it’s good for them – we don’t let them choose what they eat, or they’d happily eat ice cream and cookies for every meal.ĭogs evolved as opportunistic scavengers that fed off of our discarded food – they have evolved to eat whatever is offered to them and therefore are not finicky by nature. The best analogy that I use is that of getting a child to eat their veggies and a balanced meal. Perhaps he’s healthy now, but you are worried about what would happen if you ever did need to feed him a special diet.Īs long as your dog gets to “choose” what he eats – you’ll be at risk for having to feed him potentially lower quality food or food that is not necessarily what he should be eating. Or maybe your dog needs prescription dog food for a medical condition, but you have not been able to get him to stick to one recipe. Your dog loves the food now, but you are terrified that he will become bored of it and start being picky (finicky) – because you truly believe what we believe, that dogs should be fed real, balanced, whole food. Does this sound familiar? You are thrilled that you finally found the world’s healthiest dog food at JustFoodForDogs, however, you have a dog that is prone to being a picky eater.
