Why Fussy Dog Eating habits are So Frustrating
Many dogs appear “picky”, but in reality, they respond to routine changes, anxiety, learned behaviours, or well-meaning human habits. This creates a cycle where meals turn into negotiations and worry takes over.
- Sniffing food then walking away
- Eating only with toppers or hand feeding
- Sudden refusal of previously loved food
- Owner stress, worry, and constant food switching
- Growing concern about health or weight
