A Teddy that won’t eat kibble is prone to unbalanced nutrition, weight loss, and indigestion. If the owner replaces kibble with too many cans or nutrient pastes, the dog may also become obese, raising the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and joint problems.
Refusing kibble is usually due to pickiness. The owner should cut back on treats and switch to a more palatable kibble, feeding on a fixed schedule and portion.
If the dog refuses food because it feels unwell, offer more appealing options like goat’s milk, chicken breast, or millet congee.
