Food issues
Basically my 10 month old staff x girl is started bein really funny with her food over past few weeks.When we first got her around 7 month she was on just biscuits which she was eating then went fussy so we went to wet food which she ate then went off so tried another brand wainwrights which shes been fine on a for around month but now started bein funny.But thing is if i go down my brothers and feed her with is dog shes scoffs all hers then trys and goes for him.I cant get my head round this anyone any ideas to get her appetite probably back even tried a bit of raw at my brothers which she ate all of it.

Re: Food issues
I've used skinners field and trial. Loki hated it, is that wagg time?? It's not a brilliant brand, there is a list on here of dried foods, forthglade wet mixed with kibble is brilliant all natural.

Re: Food issues
Wagg is awful! Full of fillers and additives! As J said try some sardines in oil/tomatoes or a raw egg to interest her.

Re: Food issues
Have you tried taking her food up after 10 mins and giving it again for the next meal? And keep doing this until she eats, she won't starve herself although it does sound mean.
She may be eating her food when the other dog is around because there is sort of competition. As for the raw, it would obviously smell a lot better than dried biscuits!

Re: Food issues
Have to agree with Emma. If you are feeding her a quality food do as Emma says regarding the 10 min rule ( actually I wouldn't give her that long ). Tough love is required if you don't want to have a fussy eater on your hands. Rest assured she will NOT starve. Alternatively switch to raw and sit back and watch her thrive.

I must say loki has been on raw for 3 days now and already I've had no accidents in the house, he can't wait to eat. It's brilliant.
