Domestic dog eating kibble from food bowl at home pet nutrition
Cut back on distractions A fussy dog is far more likely to eat their meal if they’re not holding out for something tastier. Try cutting back on treats so Skipper doesn’t have to compete with a more tempting alternative.
Reduce mealtime distractions Some dogs are easily distracted. Feeding in a quiet area, away from children or other pets, can help them stay focused and enjoy their meal.

Create a mealtime routine If your dog hasn’t finished their meal within 20 minutes, they may simply not be hungry. Remove the bowl and offer it again in 2–3 hours. Avoid giving treats in between, or you risk undoing the progress.
Feed after activity A walk or a quick play session before mealtime can help stimulate appetite. Try feeding after activity, when your dog is more ready to eat.
