Cooper won't touch the bones!
Hi everyone.
Just looking for some advice please. I have Cooper on the Nature's Menu raw diet which he loves, however he won't touch the turkey necks or any of the bones that I have bought him.
I know it's very healthy for him to have these kinds of bones but he just sniffs them and walks away.
Does anyone have any good advice on how I could get him to realise this is food for him and get him to eat it?
Thanks everyone.
Paul

Hmm...that's an odd one! I would have thought he would at least be interested in the turkey necks as they are a bit more meaty and flavoursome.
Being natures menu are you feeding them frozen or raw?
Does he like peanut butter? You could try rubbing a bit of that on the bones to see if it makes him more interested?

I tried to give him one frozen and next day I tried him with a raw one. I have never tried him with peanut butter but might give that a shot.

Most dogs love a bit of peanut butter so it may help! If not try and put the bone in with his mince so it takes on some of the smell of that. Just keep an eye to make sure he chews it properly if he does decide to have a bit of a munch!

OK I will give that a try. I think the more i can get him used to the raw stuff hopefully it will be more appealing to him.
