In addition to not eating well and being picky about food, some dogs also have partial eating: that is, when dogs encounter food they like, they eat hard, and don’t eat any food they don’t like, this is partial eating.

1. Reasons for dogs to eat partially

1. Sense of smell: Dogs have 6 to 60 times more sensitive than humans. The judgment of food is determined by smell. It smells single, not fresh, and has a strange smell. If you don’t like it, you will certainly not eat it. When you encounter fresh meat you like, you will eat it desperately.

2. Taste: Dogs have a strong ability to distinguish meat and can remember the taste of many kinds of meat. After comparison, they think it is not delicious, so of course they don’t eat it.

3. Taste: Dogs have likes and dislikes about the taste of food during chewing, such as sour, spicy, and bitter taste that is uncomfortable, so of course they will not eat it.

4. Frequent diet adjustment: Dogs have unstable diet and are always replaced. It is easy for dogs to eat "meat" and no longer eat "vegetarian".

2. Correction of partial eating

1. Change the spoiling of dogs: You cannot blindly choose the food they like, or even put the food in your hands to feed them.

2. Appropriate hunger: It can reduce the number of times of eating and feel hungry. While ensuring drinking water, fasting for 1 to 2 days will allow the dog to eat normally.

3. Add foods that dogs like: Add a very small amount of food that dogs like to eat and mix it. But occasionally, don't do the same every time.

4. Timing and quantitative: Give the dog a regular and quantitative diet to keep a car. If it is partial to eating or does not eat smoothly, take the food away after half an hour.

5. Feed less snacks: Try not to feed snacks at all during the correction period. In addition, in normal times, snacks should be controlled for the dog to eat.

6. Regular feeding: During the correction period, do not easily change the food fed and do not change the type of food.

In order to correct dog partial eating, all dogs mainly call on all family members to unify their thoughts, calibers and actions. If you persist for more than a week, you will definitely not "surrender" because of the dog's pitiful eyes!
