Food & NutritionMy picky dog only eats Cesar. How do I get her to eat healthier food?
Hi, thank you for using PetCoach. I would work on weaning Cherokee off of the Cesars as soon as you can. That food is very high in fat and not a very healthy food. You don't say how old she is now. If under a year, I would suggest a puppy or growth formula. If adult, feed an adult maintenance food. Purina ProPlan, Science Diet or Iams are all very good brands. Start slowly transitioning her by mixing 75% current food and 25% new diet and switch very slowly to the new food over the course of several weeks. If she is otherwise healthy, a healthy dog is not going to starve themselves to death. But in the long run she will be much healthier on a high quality dog food. Do not give people food or table food at all either. A mix of canned and dry is fine, but it needs to be a good quality food. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=2471
Good luck.
