Hi everyone, my name is Benji,  my mommy is a little upset with me.  My Poppop has been feeding me ham as a treat and now I won't eat my dog food anymore.  She doesn't know how to get me to eat any dog food, wet/dry, any brand.  She tried having my Poppop to stop feeding me ham, but then I wasn't eating anything.  Can any one help or have any suggestions.  I really want to make my mommy happy again.  Thanks, your friend Benji.

As other pets have said, most important to stop with the people food and give the doggy food. There's a sauce that can be mixed with it. When Mom and Dad first adopted me, they put that on my food because it was such a change for me. I ate it all. Now I eat just my dry food. Good thing with dry food is that it can be in dish for LONG time and won't get bad or smell. You will eat it because it will be all you'll have to eat. It is better for you to eat your doggy food. My Mom and Dad don't give me ANY people food. They tell anyone who comes into the house that I can't have any. I think I might have eaten some of it before coming to my Forever Home almost 1 1/2 years ago.

Hey Benji

I agree with the others.  There was a time there that I became a really fussy eater and everything mummy served up, I would turn my nose up at.  Mummy got frustrated but persisted in giving me the right dog food, and now we are both happy.

 I think persistence is the key, and tell your mummy not to feel bad or like she is starving you, coz us dogs are pretty cluey, and we realise when we are on to a good thing  Smile

GOOD LUCK

Yes, what Luna said is true.  When I got spoiled to cheese treats from my Poppa, my momma cut off the treat supply and just let me have my dry dog food in my bowl, and before long, I was back to eating it.  I may have lost a pound or so before I would eat it, but it didn't kill me, so you will eat it sooner or later.  The hardest thing is for our parents watching us, thinking we are starving and feeling sorry for us, but we aren't gonna starve, that's for sure!  Good luck and EAT, buddy!

Luna is right. Dogs aren't going to starve themselves. If They Get Hungry they will eat!

Just give you the dog food and nothing else and you will get hungry and start eating again.
