Is it dry dog food. Have you tried bacon grease? Our beagle goes crazy over it, but beagles are known to be piglets!

It could be the food... you could try another type. It could also be that he just doesn't have a big appetite... some big dogs don't. You can spice it up with some canned and see if that helps, or mix in something else yummy like LeAnn said. I have no issues with feeding "people" food to dogs, I don't think it's possible for a dry over-processed food to provide everything an animal needs to stay healthy.

Keep in mind he's still adjusting to his new life, too. He has been vetted, right? Dewormed?

I agree with Lori's advice, good luck and keep us posted........

Charlet_2007 · 04-20-2008, 09:03 PM

yeah hes been vetted and dewormed...my friend who works there at the pound told me she looked up his file and just learned that he was a owner surrender.. and that he's 100% AKC Canine Good Citizen Awarded and also a trained attack dog..

we now have those papers.. Well that explaines the sit and lay down and go to bed and other stuff on command lol.. I wonder what else he is without me knowing?
