Feeding a 1yr old Jack-a-Poo

20 9:23:46

Question
My little jack-a-poo is a very fussy eater and very often will go a few days without eating.  Vet says he is healthy and a good weight.  Can you give me some tips on how to get him to eat.  At the moment he is fed natural wet and dry food mixed.  Only the best.

Answer
Dogs are smarter than us when it comes to eating.  They eat when they are hungry only. Your vet is not worried, so you shouldn't be. Believe me, I promise he will not starve himself. Keep feeding him on a regular schedule and he will eat when he's hungry. If he is not drinking water then you will have a problem and he's probably sick, but just let him eat at his own pace and he'll be OK!
