We've got 4 dogs, 3 healthy weight and 1 that is overweight. They've always had a 20 pound feeder that they could eat whenever they wanted to.
Vet told us before that if we wanted the overweight one to lose weight, it needs to be measured and use weight management food with that dog.
They're all being quite picky, I put each one in a bedroom with their measured food and they don't want to eat much. Have been doing this almost a week, twice a day. It's the same food they've always eaten (for the healthy weight dogs) and they like it. I've tried bringing them one at a time into the living room where they're more comfortable and sometimes they'll eat more. I've also tried wetting the food.
That works better, usually, but I don't want to do that forever. I'd like to not be babying them.
One of the dogs is getting old and is a little skinny. He's the pickiest right now and I worry about him. His picture is below. Probably sideways.
Any suggestions?
