My husky is a finicky eater. How do I get them to eat dry food?

Question

My huskies won’t eat! They never eat their food well! I add canned food in with premium dry food. They just leave it. It’s very frustrating. My mom works hard and then them turning up their stuck up noses and wasting all that food we have to give to the chickens. How to get them to eat dry food only? I’m worried if I do that they’d eat once a week. But at this point I really don’t even care. But they are so embarrassing skinny that they look very unattractive.

This can be so frustrating! I should know because I have a labradoodle who does the same thing. After much medical testing and experimenting, I found nothing wrong with my dog and just keep dry food out for him. He eats when he wants and sometimes he does go a day or two without eating much. That’s exactly what I’d try for your pups. Some dogs are just finicky eaters. Honestly, your huskies look to be an appropriate weight so if you are concerned, ask your vet if they need to gain weight. You’d be surprised how many pet parents parents call ideal “skinny”. Of course if this minimal appetite is ever accompanied by vomiting, true weight loss, profuse diarrhea, or any other worrisome signs, please see your vet right away.
