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
