What can i feed her?
I've only had Zoe 3 weeks and she is truly spoilt. When we exchanged hands with the previous owner he had food left over and give it us. Webbox roll and webbox dog biscuits, she didnt eat much and when she did she only eat the meat. I went out and bought her a tinned Winalot from the shop to see if she would eat it, she only eat mouthfuls, and left the rest.
She has Dentastix and Chocolate dog treats which she will eat.
I've recently bought her pedigree wet food and she tends to eat it occasionally. To my knowledge she really isnt eating properly although last night we had a leg of lamb for tea and she had a bowl full of lamb.
Any advice on what I can try her with next... She looks like she has lost a bit of weight her coat is still extremely shiny and there isn't anything concerning in her mouth.

Re: What can i feed her?
Pedigree is not good, have you tried a dried complete food? I feed wet but Nature diet has no artificial additives and gluten free. Here are a list of complete foods. They may be more expensive and you will need the puppy one, but much better for your baby. If you use complete then a little sardines or scrambled egg (made with no milk) on top just to entice her.
Dont give her too many treats as she wont eat anything, if you change do it gradually to avoid upset tum. x

She doesn't like dry food and will just refuse to eat it!!

Have you tried a bit of sardines or egg on top of the food? They won't starve themselves but some can be a bit picky with what they eat, espically if they get lots of treats. You could also just feed RAW if dry isn't an option

Re: What can i feed her?
As said try her with it and some sardines or scrambled egg, go to your local pet shop and ask for nature diet they do a puppy one I can guarantee she will love it. http://www.naturediet.co.uk/
You can get this at most pet stores, just so you know what they look like

Definitely try with the quality dry foods pets at home used to have sample bags from some suppliers and you can always try adding a touch of boiling water (obviously cool before serving) to make a bit of smelly gravy or as above top with something tasty.
Ledger is fed raw and the threads on here told me all I needed to know to get started again Pets at home have a frozen cabinet with some raw options to try before you jump in
Both options may appear more expensive but with a quality food you the portions are often smaller as not bulked with filler that the dogs struggle to process the biggest plus for us on raw is 99% less farting and smaller easier to pick up

I think all tinned pet food should be banned they offer no nutritional value and are full of soya

I tried Lily's wet food cans and mine loves it, bit dear but organic and the range does dried food, treats and puppy food. I give my fully grown staff a whole can and half a cup of biscuits a day at 5pm and if he seems peckish about 9pm (after his last walk) I give him a small banana or dentustix. Mine won't eat dry biscuits on its own either.
