    My mini-daschund won't eat her dog food.
    Help! I am a new owner of a 3 month year-old miniature daschund named Chicky (female). I have had her now for 2 weeks, and I'm having a major problem: she won't eat her dog food. I have tried many brands (Royal Canin, Science Diet, Eukanuba) and she hardly nips at any. I know that puppies are supposed to be eating several times a day, but Chicky won't. She likes wet food, but I don't want to get her used to eating it everyday. Does anyone know why she isn't eating properly? Any tips on what to do? Thank you so much. I'm concerned...

    Less so with puppies, but this is a common problem. Common enough I prepared a sticky on it, https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/i...tml#post254171

    The most common cause is over feeding, but my sticky starts with the important point of having a vet check.

    There is other material there you may find helpful. If you need more help or details clarified, post back.
