Hello,

As dog parents — and also working at the Dog Food Advisor — we spend a lot of time thinking and worrying about what dogs eat. 

Not only as part of their diet but also the wide variety of goodies and baddies they like to scoff from sidewalks, abandoned picnics, the hands of well-meaning humans, and so on. After all, dogs are renowned for their insatiable appetites and love of tasty treats. 

But we also worry about dogs that don’t eat — picky eaters that turn their noses up at perfectly nutritious food. Any dog parent who’s experienced this knows how concerning it is. 

This is why we’ve teamed up with Dr. Justin Shmalberg, DVM Board Certified Veterinary Nutritionist at 5-star-rated dog food company Nom Nom, to create this article: How to Help Dogs That Are Picky Eaters.

In it, we look at why dogs can be picky eaters — whether it's a learned behavior, a medical issue, or simply a problem with their food.

Dr. Shmalberg then offers up a plan to alter their behavior and get them eating properly and regularly again.

Take care,
