Is my dog a fussy eater?

[muchlovex]

My little pooch seems to be being a little bit fussy with her food. I've recently changed her dog food to Cesar and a mixer bought from my local Scats store - for weeks she seems to have been enjoying it.

I have now bought her a different flavoured mixer, formulated for senior dogs and she won't eat it.

She gladly eats food from us if we hand feed her. The other day I bought her a nice piece of Ox liver and she ate that. But when it comes down to eating the Cesar dog food and this new mixer she won't touch it.
Is she being too fussy and expecting the nice food we eat?

She is training you well, just like my last girl did to us. Possible the senior mix is lower in fat and other ingredients which can put a strain on an older dogs digestion but give it interest to her.. Could you not reduce the quantity of the previous mix instead of switching?

Why did you change? if it ain't broke-don't fix it....lol
Don't get into the habit of hand feeding her...it's the road to ruin!...;-)
Maybe just go back to the original mixer that she was happy with.

my dogs have been feasting on the festive left overs and wont eat their dog food. They want more turkey.
