Answer
Hi Rose,
He won't eat dog food because you give him such other good stuff!  LOL   Try putting some smelly canned dog food with some dry, mix with cottage cheese. Mix it all up good. Put it down for him to eat.  If he doesn't eat it in a reasonable amount of time, pick it up, cover it ,and put in fridge.  Later, heat up in microwave... be careful it doesn't get too hot... and offer it again. Keep doing this, he won't starve. Eventually he will eat it, that is if YOU don't give in!  LOL  Treats are ok, but dog food has all the vitamins they need, and he really should be on it.

God Bless,
Becky
