How can I get my newly adopted, 1-yr old Cattle Dog to eat consistently?
Logic says that "they'll eat when they're hungry," but our new dog only eats once every couple of days. We put food out twice a day for about 30 min. It's the same food she ate at the shelter. When she does decide to eat, she won't eat out of her bowl (stainless steel, same as water dish, and there are no problems w/drinking water), but will eat when a small handful is placed on the floor. It's so inconsistent, and makes potty-training her very difficult. She'll take treats readily (only given for good behavior & following commands). Any ideas?
If she is the only dog and you are feeding dry dog food.
Fill the bowl and leave it down all the time. She will eat when she is hungry and will self regulate her diet. If you have a picky eater this works well.
I free feed all of my dogs and they all maintain a nice weight.
