This is super helpful! My 11 month old cavapoo is never interested in her food, she only eats it when she feels like it but she always wants what we are eating. Thank you for your tip.

Thank you for this video! I have a 6mo cavalier and she is very picky as well. She’s had GI issues so a lot of time she is on a bland diet of Costco rotisserie chicken, rice and veggies. I am switching her back to puppy food but it is a long process 😂(she can eat Hills soy corn wheat free and Canidae salmon grain free). I have found 3 things that would make her wolf down her food - fresh rotisserie chicken, Purina Fortiflora probiotics, and Pet Naturals of Vermont’s Daily Multi (crumbled into tiny bits)

I have a maltipoo that is somewhat of a picky eater. I heard about “fresh food” and tried out these rolls from the brand Fresh Pet (can be picked up at Target, Walmart, and Costco in the refrigerator of the dog section). My dog loves it! I have been feeding her this for the last 5 months, and she has gobbled down every single meal since we made the switch. She will literally lick her bowl clean for any scraps. It can be costly for a bigger dog, but my dog is only 4 pounds and I spend less than $10/week. Fresh Pet is considered A Grade food, so it is considered much healthier for dogs as well. Her poop has been much healthier since eating this and she always has a ton of energy

thanks for sharing. Sophie is gorgeous and reminds me of my cavapoo. Exact same colouring, cream all over with red muzzle and ears. We're going through some issues with our 18 month old. But i've always had the suspicion if we used the crate every day, it would be so much easier. We've been using it on and off. The main issue we have is reactivity on walks, so im trying to find a dry food i can use when im outside. currently we use a raw food (different dog) which he does eat eventually, but it's a nightmare putting it in snuffle mats, & puzzles (so right now they're going to waste). 😅 is the crate still working for Sophie?

Great tips! What size is your cavapoo and crate? I think our crate may be too small for our cavapoo…she’s 15lbs.

you can also add wet food such as chicken mince, chicken related or whichever meat your dog likes!

I bought Dr Bleckler appetite stimulant flakes on Amazon. So far they seem to be helping. I just sprinkle a spoonful over his food.

My cavapoo is completely opposite! She use to be a picky eater with her littermate and she would chose the meat only and then we switch to royal cannin kibble for small dogs and she adores it when we put it in the table she will eat it all up and she always tries to find her food!

Nibbles will eat most anything unless it comes from a can. If it comes from a can he won't eat it. He eats dry food for puppies all day, then at about 1700 hrs he gets people food. Chicken, beef, pork & sometimes kangaroo. Aside from his daily walk that is his fave time of day. TY for the vid.

Just starting out with our cavapoo... my wife feeds her by fingers (hand) I use a spoon! She will eat dry and wet but it's a matter of when. (We do have a cat and we've seen her sneeking the cat food...). Dr said no to human food or that will be all she will want... ahh..what to do!!! Enjoy your vids!!!

Trying the crate idea! What size crate is that? My dog is the same size as Sophie. Thank you for sharing.

I tried the crate and he just sat next to the bowl, doesn’t eat, I also tried changing the food that isn’t working.

Willow will not touch the food in her bowl, so we had a old bowl she sees us with and she just preferred that bowl 👍❤️ she is crazy it was not the food it was the bowl, we use the small food as well👍❤️

I fed Acana too with some Ziwi Peak (air dried) added. Hard to find where all 3 of my dogs will eat the same food.

Thank you for this. My Maltese is 9 months old and will only eat if I act like I’m eating her food. That worked for about a month now she just pushes her food away. She’ll eat her treats but only certain ones. I still have her crate but I haven’t put her in it in a couple of weeks it’s in my spare bedroom and the past couple of days she’s been going in there trying to get in it. I have the same crate you have but she also has a playpen that she goes in and out of whenever she wants. I’m thinking this crate trick might work, maybe she misses it lol. Gonna give it a try now it’s 2:20 pm here and she still hasn’t eaten her food today and I tried everything so hopefully this will work.

With Sophie being so picky, did you ever have any hypoglycemic episodes? My Cavapoo is SO picky, but gets hypoglycemic if she doesn’t eat. For that brand food, how much per serving do you give her? And does she only eat twice a day?

Lol, my Cavapoo (16 months) will sneak, steal other dogs’ food but neglects her. Their food could be a bowl of bland kibbles, whatever —/ she will greedily eat ‘em but ditches her bowl of much better food (for ex, pot roast made just for her!) I have had, taken care of other breeds/dogs, feeding them was never an issue! But my Cavapoo (I love her so much,?she’s very loving, hilarious) , feeding her an on-going struggle

I also feed my puppy (pomeranian) in her crate, and she tends to eat more and faster than outside because nothing destructs her, and it's kinda boring environment, so there's nothing to do except sleep or eat 😂

My puppy is the same way :0 i put him in his crate to eat and it works its mind blowing to me lol
