<p>hi michelle ! great to hear that Ogie's found his loved diet :) Oberon also became a picky eater at 9 months now, and we are trying so many different diets. probably he's got a stomach sensitivity, luckely all tests are excluding any major desease. so its just a matter to find the right food, and maybe he has to pass this age :)</p>
<p>may i ask you which food worked for ogie? oberon is now in a mixture of naturediet, ID food, and meat+rice and yougurth in the evening, but what works one…</p>

<p>Hi everyone, Ogie's appetite is perfectly fine. We brought him to the vet and he has a sensitive stomach, so everything we gave him, he would just throw up. Apparently it's common in Irish Setters. We have a special food for him now and he LOVES it. Thanks for all your comments :)</p>

<p>Dash is 22 months and his appetite varies from ravenous to totally not interested. Some days, he won't eat his food, but he'll eat treats you offer. Other days, he wolfs down his food, our smaller dog's food and anything he can snitch from the counters and table - and still wants more. I remember when he was younger he went through a fussy stage - and just during this past summer, after a well-meaning friend fed him salmon from our grill, he wanted only fish for a while. So glad that phase…</p>

Hello Michelle,<br />
<br />
We have the same thing with our little Irish dragon. He will only eat cookies and treats. At first we tried to encourage him to eat. We consulted our vet. The dog is perfectly helathy. Just two weeks ago we met the breeder of our puppy's father. He told us that our dog probably has inherited the problem from his father. The good news is, that after three years hios father statred eating normally. So in short our adviice is: present him his regular food. You decide wehen you…

We have the same problem with our Irish Charlie. He is 9 months and has progressively been eating less and less. He is happy to be hand fed with our food, and also to pinch the cats food when he can, but put down a bowl of (human grade) meat and he simply will not eat - v worried.<br />
We had decided to take him to the vet but at the last minute decided to try raw (human grade) meat.<br />
We have had a minor breakthrough this evening, because this was eaten up. We are going to monitor the situation over…

Hi all, he has started eating again! We started mixing his food well with canned food (without gravy) and it's like magic! We tried him on canned food before but they had gravy and they just weren't good for him. But then I read someone's comment that said cans with gravy aren't very good so I tried some without it and...Voila! He eats 2 meals a day now instead of hardly eating one. Thank you all for your comments and suggestions :-)))

His mum loves Hollandaise sauce....As for old food well ~Fin is the same,, fresh only. so long as I can keep feeding him and he is willing to take it then I will keep doing the taboo thing.....hand feeding him...he will start again, and it only take 10 minuets out of my day and that is nothing...If you love them you will do the best for them, And I know what you think of your wee man!!!.
