How to deal with picky eaters in poodles

What should I do if the poodle is picky eater? Many friends feel helpless about the picky eater of the dog, so how to solve the problem? The following Xiaodouzi will share with you the solution to the picky eater of the poodle.

Solutions for poodle picky eaters:

1. First of all, through careful observation and physical examination if necessary, confirm that your poodle is not suffering from any disease , but simply picky eaters.

2. Then, when feeding, give the poodle a normal amount of food and wait for 10 seconds. If the puppy starts eating within 10 seconds, there is nothing you need to do, the dog is doing fine.

3. If it dawdles, or runs away to play after a smell, then put away the food and do not give any food until the next feeding time.

4. In the next feeding time, if the poodle quickly eats up the amount of food you give, that is good. If there is a little left, estimate the amount of food left, and feed him half the amount he eats at the next feeding. For example, if you give 100 grams this time and it eats 80 grams, please give 40 grams next time.

5. If the dog continues to lick the bowl after eating, he wants to continue eating. The next time (not this time!) feeding can be increased by 20% on the basis of this meal. So cycle until it returns to normal appetite.

6. Some poodles are very stubborn and can persist without eating for three or four days until you give in. At this time, it is time for you to compete your will. You know, as long as there is enough drinking water, the puppies will not eat for 2-3 days or even longer, and it will not damage the health of the poodle.

Sometimes, your “kindness” and “love” will harm your poodle instead. Therefore, when you ask about the health of your poodle, you must be ruthless to correct the bad habit of the puppy!
