My dog is a picky eater. How can I encourage him to eat his meals?

Question

I think my dog is a picky eater. What should I do?

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

One important thing is to not give him treats or human food, and don't give him any food in between feedings. Put his food down every morning and night at for 15 minutes, then take it away after that time until his next mealtime. A healthy dog won't starve himself for more than three days, so once he gets hungry enough, he will eat his food.
