I Need Help by steven1234(m): 3:42pm On Mar 23, 2016
Please I have a 1 year old GSD, he is selective when it comes to food. He doesn't take anything that doesn't have salt, or pepper, 8 hear that is not good for him but he will waste the food if I don't put salt and pepper. He doesn't eat Dog indomie cos I bought a bag and it took and when I give him, it end up wasting, even when I add fish he picks out the fish and leave the indomie. Then I decided to be buying him take away from eatery but even that, he eats just the meat and moimoi .

Currently i feed him with Jojo crunchy and petovit soya dog food. He doesn't eat the Jojo, sometimes even for 2 days he will eat just small until I mix it with stew or fish or eba or amala and okra, I don't know if it's healthy. But for the petovit, he eats it even when it's very hot, maybe because I add fish when cooking it. He was eating just can food and milk until he was about 3 months before I took him away from my uncle's place, could it be that he is used to that.

Please I need a diet plan for him that is readily available and will help him grow big. I also want to ask cos someone told me there is somewhere I can buy chicken and turkey legs, intestine, head and leg for him.

Thank you.

My brother I think the menu you use presently is too exorbitant to be maintained. Even the one you are searching is more exorbitant Dogs become highly selective when they have options. I talk from experience. My Pure Breed Russian Shepherd was selective even to reject Italian food and was feeding only on American Diamond Feed I ordered from US via Mall for Africa. This meant that I would be spending like $300 per month to feed the dog. I said categorical no. I decided to be getting him remains of food from Thrillers and Macdon in Awka here. I was paying for it. Initially he didn't eat, he selected only the meant and bones. But gradually he adapted seeing that he had no alternative. Today he eats rice, beans, semo etc. In your own case, the dog has been spoon-fed for lon. So it will take him time to adjust to simple menu. But I encourage you to keep on. The love you have for the dog may not allow you leave it go hungry when he is selective. But do not let the dog dictate for you rather dictate for him. Thanks

thanks bro, I really appreciate your candid advise. I think I will result to that, I'm just afraid he might begin to loose more weight. I will try to see how well he keeps up withour his dog food.

I have tried that but I can't stand my dog start himself for more than 24 hrs. I will try again, hopefully he will change.

No dog can resist a cooked/steamed foetus(cow meat). Just try it. Within one week, u will notice weight gain in your dog and it will look healthy too.
U can also add d liquid stock from d cooked foetus to their indomie too. I can teach u how to do that if interested.
