What should I do if my American Foxhound is picky about food? A healthy dog ​​will definitely not let its owner worry about its diet. On the contrary, a dog that is picky will be pampered by its owner from time to time. The American Foxhound is no exception!

First of all, through careful observation and physical examination when necessary, confirm that your dog does not suffer from any disease, but is just a picky eater. If it's time to feed, give him a normal amount of food and wait 10 seconds. If he starts eating within 10 seconds, great. If he dawdles, or runs off to play after a whiff, put the meal away and don't offer any food until the next feeding time.

If he eats the amount of food you gave him quickly, that’s good. If there is a little left, estimate how much food is left and feed him half the amount he eats the next time he feeds. For example, if you give him 100 grams this time and he eats 80 grams, please give him 40 grams next time. If he continues to lick the bowl after eating and wants to continue eating, the next time he feeds, he can increase the amount of food by 20%. This cycle continues until he returns to normal appetite.

Some dogs are very stubborn and can go without eating for three or four days until you give in. At this time, it’s time for you to compete with your will. You know, as long as there is enough water, not eating for three or four days or even longer will not harm your dog's health. Owners who are always worried that their dogs will starve to death cannot raise healthy dogs. A dog's endurance is limited, and he will definitely give in if he cannot hold on.
