My dog is a picky eater, gets bored, and vomits if she skips meals.

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | 3 years and 2 months old | 60 lbs

My 3 yos female Golden+ samoy is so picky eating since 2,5yrs . We have been trying from dog’s to human’s food but not working. S is ok to try new tasty foods but if having it daily, s gets bored. she hardly eats daily is boiled rice + soup and a bit dry dog food. I gets her eat 2 meals/day by giving food directly to her mouth and repeat “good girls!” for 20’ or get angry. she is healthy, not skinny. But if we stop get her to eat for 2 days, she still doesnt eat but vomit a liquid. Thank you!

Hi there and thank you for using PetCoach to address your concern. Cana may have an underlying GI disease leading to nausea / inappetance / vomiting. I would recommend having a veterinarian examine her so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I would also recommend having a look at ( www.balanceit.com ) and use the free autobalancer to help formulate a homemade diet for her. You can also try adding in a probiotic such as Purina Fortiflora, which can be found online quite easily. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
