Help Needed

Lex is 3 months old, his set of teeth are fully grown. Before this I used to soak his kibbles in warm water but lately I didn't. He will just sit and look at me wihtout touching his food. Will only eat after soaking it.... Any good piece of advice? Thanks.....

Hmmm....I never encounter this pro coz my dogs always wallop all their food. So I also dont know how to settle this. May be you can try to mix soak kibble & dry kibbles...then slowing change to dry kibbles. I hope this is helping.

i tried both ways edi, semi mixed and less water, both eat little only.... Ah Yen told me to starve Lex for 3 days and will eat eventually. Now doing that lar >.<

Please be careful when you starve Lex. You may end up with him having gastric. I have gastric now because they think that starving me would make me eat which I did not. Now whenever I refuse food, they would force feed and said it's for my own good!

Oh starving is another way too. Twinkle is getting picky lately so I did the same, I try to skip his meal...then eventually he will finish his food once I feed him. Of coz, he sometime will vomit some yellowish discharge due to gastric. So try not to starve him for so many days since he is still a pup.

soaked kibbles smells better. that's why your dog prefer soak kibbles. fyi, kibbles is really not a tasty food for dog. So after you expose him with lotsa human food, you might face the problem of him not eating his kibbles.
