I need some doggy mama advice:
I changed my dog's food last month. She ate almost the whole 35lb bag absolutely no problem. I feed her once a day, and don't even have to worry about taking the bowl away. She eats it in minutes. She's a rottie, what I tend to call the "goldfish of dogs" they'd eat even if they're not hungry.
Since she did so well on that food (Authority Chicken Large Breed) I decided to buy her a second bag by the time she was almost done with this one (at first her poop was way too stinky, but then its back to normal). I keep the food in a dog food container because where I live, well, ants everywhere!
Problem? She's suddenly not interested in eating her kibble. She's healthy, I had her checked out. No worms, no infections. NADA. Heck I even mixed the dog food with WET dog food and she just ate around the kibble, so she does have appetite. She just won't touch that kibble anymore. At all.
It's been two days and she usually eats 4 cups of food a day. Well in 48 hours she's eaten 2 cups.
I threw out the receipt for the new bag and have absolutely not a cent more to buy anything else. And even if I did change it, I would have to go for low quality cheap food (lost my job, etc). Authority is the the most expensive thing I can afford ($35 = 35lb bag)
So what should I do? Feed her at the time I always feed and if she won't eat, take it away? I know she won't let herself starve to death, but it's annoying to see her not wanna eat it! >: (
