Our 10month old GR has been completely refusing her dry food for the past 5 days. She was eating a bit of it when I added a small amount if chappie, but now won't touch it because of the kibble. I am going to try a different dry food, but obviously can't do the by adding it to her current food. What would people suggest? She is eating her carrots and fish treats so she is hungery!!

Has she had a season as that maybe the reason for her going off her food. I would persevere and stick with what she is on and restrict the treats.

No she hasn't had a season yet so that's a possibility. She had some rice a chicken tonight and ate some of that. She has also been rubbing her mouth in the floor after eating, so we have had a through looking her mouth and can't see any sores etc.

Try and use the kibble for treats. I should imagine it is the impending season so just see what happens. If she is hungry she will eat.

If she seems fine and bright and breezy in herself and you have had her checked by a vet and there is nothing wrong with the food, I personally would try and be a bit firmer with her otherwise you may find you will be creating a fussy eater. I had this experience with my girlie when she was younger and I pandered to her, changing her food and it got to the point even when I added tasty extras, she even became fussy over the extras I added. It is so hard as you do worry. I took her to the vets several times to have her checked out, but she was always given a clean bill of health, it was just the case she knew I would give her alternatives if she turned her nose up at what I had put down for her. Now, she will eat anything and everything, she gets excited for her meals and will bark when I am preparing them for her. I just had to learn to become a bit firmer and if she didn't eat her food, she didn't get her treats and her food would be picked up and thrown out. I made sure she could see me discarding her food if she didn't eat it and then I would put fresh food down then in the evening. It was a battle of wills, but it stopped her being fussy. She will eat anything now. I do give her and my other 2 dogs a variation, they have Arden Grange complete with extras such as fish, chicken, eggs, lamb, beef etc added everyday, but they will also eat it no problem with no extras added. Is it possible that the portions you give her are more than what she needs as this can also cause them to become fussy? It's so hard as you do worry, but if she is fine in herself and has a clean bill of health and the food is ok, then I would possibly reduce her portion size, cut out the treats (until she is eating properly again) and if she doesnt eat her food after being down for 10 minutes, then throw it out and put fresh down in the evening. Try to resist coaxing her to eat it as that could also possibly cause problems at meal times. I hope this helps some. :)
