Thank you in advance for your help. This is my first post so please bare with me.
My little guy is a 2 and 1/4 year old Eskipoo (American Eskimo and Poodle mix) and for the past year or so he has been not eating. When we put the food down, he sniffs it and walks away. We started with dry food and when that didn't wor we moved to a wet/dry mix. At first he loved it, but for the past 2-3 months he hasn't even touched that. We've tried leaving food out, we've tried pulling it after 10-15 minutes and not giving him anything until his next meal. We've changed his food brands, we've also purchased those "sauces" that you pour on the dog food... nothing has worked.
We also have a cat, and the only thing that Bentley DOES eat is the cats food. He scarfs it down whenever we are not looking. We've tried to not put it out, but our cat eats whenever she wants, so we need to keep it readily available for her. We can't put it on the counter or anything because she's getting old and can't get up there anymore. But now Bentley just sneaks off and eats it.
We took him to the vet but even they couldn't thin of a solution. He is a fine weight and of perfect health. He's still very playful as well. I'm not as concerned with his health because the vet says everything is fine... its honestly more about the fact that it freaks me out that he's not eating, and we're literally throwing out bags and cans of dog food monthly. It's become an incredible expense.
Can someone please help to get Bently back to eating his dry food?
