My male dogue de bordeaux will eat one day then can go for days not eatting at all, I feed him on beta chicken and rice mixed with minced meat, ive tryed changing his food and cooking the mince but hes still the same. He could do with putting a bit weight on but hes not really skinny, he is 2 years old and he is ok health wise. so any ideas please would be so greatfull, best wishes Amanda

i myself have bordeauxs and have to say they can be quite picky,i find a tin of sardines on top  of there usual feed normally does the trick!

I wouldnt worry if he is hungry he will eat, i have the greediest Bordeaux on the planet !!

Hi. I sometimes have problems getting one of my Bordeaux to eat, especially if there is an in season bitch around. I have found that taking food away if it is not eaten and then give again at the usual time, and eventually he will eat it as he knows he's getting nothing else! The worst thing you can do is watch them eat, as it gives them the attention, they can sense your concern, and I think play on it! Try giving raw tripe instead of mince-I've never seen a dog refuse tripe, its stinks but they love it! :D
