Understanding (and Solving) Picky Eating in Dogs
Do you have a picky eater dog that turns its nose up at everything? You’re not alone! Picky eating in dogs can be frustrating, but it often has simple explanations—and solutions. This post explores why some dogs are fussy eaters and how Enjoy-a-Bowl can make mealtime irresistible by engaging their natural senses.
Why Are Dogs Picky Eaters?
Dogs can be picky for various reasons, including their natural hunting instincts, learned behaviors, or specific food preferences. Unlike humans, dogs primarily rely on their sense of smell to get excited about food. That’s where Enjoy-a-Bowl comes in, using the power of scent to tempt even the fussiest eaters with just a hint of leftovers!
How Enjoy-a-Bowl Helps
With Enjoy-a-Bowl, you place a small amount of flavorful leftovers in the bottom compartment. The scent rises up, making your dog’s regular food smell like a treat without actually changing their diet. This is great for picky eaters who may not want to try new food but are tempted by familiar, exciting aromas.
Enjoy-a-Bowl uses the power of aroma to make regular dog food more enticing without extra calories or additives. It’s a safe, effective solution to the picky eater problem!
