Hi,
Need some advice. My pet had been eating his kebble food on a consistent basis. Then I introduced a bit of raw chicken into his kebble and loved having it even more. But now I'm realizing that if I don't add chicken, he just doesn't eat his regular kebble food. What should I do? (Don't want to feed chicken every day)

He’ll eventually go back to eating his regular food when he’s hungry enough. He will not starve but it might take awhile depending on how stubborn he is lol

Hang in there lol

Haha my dog does this, too. We have a dog on a special diet who gets fresh food everyday but the other is stuck with kibble (high quality as it may be!) and if we ever open the other dog’s food before she eats her dinner, she pouts instead of eating. I just put whatever she left in her bowl away and within a day or two she is hungry enough that she eats all the kibble. Another option is to buy a food topper. I also add some salmon oil to her kibble, which she loves.

My dog did this too and it got to the point where he would not eat his food unless I gave him a new high value topper at every meal. Then his stomach couldn’t handle the constant change in diet and he developed horrible GI issues (I’ll spare the details) and had to be put on a strict bland prescription diet for 2 months with no treats/toppers except the bland treats that came with the prescription meal plan. He refused to eat for the first two days but eventually accepted that he wasn’t going to get anything better and he’s been back to eating normally since then. You might have to wait it out for a few meals but it’s probably worth it to avoid falling down the rabbit hole of creating a picky monster.

Had a similar issue, pups refused to eat without the topper. Consulted the Vet, she said they will eat when the get hungry enough....it is gonna be tough but wait him out offer his kibble alone. Pick one day to offer the chicken...Basically recondition him to eat primarily kibble with chicken on one special day.
That said, you will have to be strong and disciplined with this method.

Kibble

kibble meaning dry dog food

Your arm is being wrung by the little fella. My friend. It’s either the kibble or nothing. Try mixers like hot water that’ll enhance the scent of the food.

Oh yeah. Once my pup got put on his prescription diet he still wouldn’t eat it until I pulverized it in a blender and added just enough water to turn it into a very specific cakey texture. It’s annoying af but better than dealing with the nightmare that was coming out his bum when I switched things up too much.
