Re: feeding help
Hiya and welcome
What brands have you tried? Home cooked food is not the great so I would give that a miss. Wet food is ok but I would always feed a dry/wet mix, dry preferably.
Are you being consistant with it, silly question but if you pander to her every time she will conect that with a different food.
At the end of the day she will not let herself starve, sometimes you have to try and persevere.
Leave the food for 15mins and if she hasn't eaten it take it up. Give her nothing (no treats or * bits) until next meal time and then repeat, leave the food for 15mins and if she doesn't eat it, take it up and start afresh.
I have tried many diets with Moo, taken about 5 to find one that suits, but we got there.
Good luck and have a look at the link above for some reccomendations Xx
