What to do if your Alaskan dog is picky about food
What should I do if my Alaskan dog is a picky eater? If my Alaskan dog is a picky eater, you can add some yogurt or more fragrant food, such as butter, to its dog food, but you can only add a little, or feed it some probiotics. When feeding, keep the dog food for only ten minutes, take it away if it is not eaten, and feed it again after an interval of one or two hours, and the cycle is like this. Take Ala out for exercise to consume your energy.

1. Rich dog food

You can add some yogurt to your dog’s food. Yogurt is more appetizing to dogs. It also tastes very good when added to dog food, so dogs will eat it up.

You can soak the dog food in water, then stir it into a puree, and add a small amount of butter, not too much. Butter only serves to attract Alaskan dogs because butter is more fragrant.

If you cook fried things at home, such as fried chicken legs. After frying, shred a small piece and put the chicken in the Alaskan dog's bowl and rub it evenly to leave the aroma on the plate, and then add the dog food. Alaskan dogs smelling this fragrance can also increase their appetite and eat more dog food.

 2. Feed probiotics

The Alaskan dog’s gastrointestinal tract has not been conditioned, resulting in picky eating and anorexia. You can feed the Alaskan dog probiotics to regulate the Alaskan dog’s gastrointestinal tract and increase appetite. I believe that the Alaskan dog will soon fall in love with eating dog food.

3. Hungry for a meal or two

People say that anything is delicious when hungry. Whether it is a picky Alaskan dog, a Alaskan dog that eats too much, or an Alaskan dog that is in heat and does not eat dog food, you can use this method to make the Alaskan dog understand whether it is good or not. If you eat dog food, there is no other food to eat. When it is hungry and can’t stand it anymore, it will eat dog food. Remember to prepare enough water when you are hungry.

A normal adult Alaskan dog needs two meals a day, about 10 hours apart. If you feed the dog at 8 o'clock in the morning and still don't eat it in about 10 minutes, take the dog food away, but don't wait until the evening to feed it again. Feed it after an interval of 1-2 hours. If it doesn't eat, take it away and feed it again after 1-2 hours. The cycle is like this, and it can usually be done within 1 day.

4. Go out and exercise

Many pet owners are very doting on their Alaskan dogs and constantly buy food for their Alaskan dogs. The result of irregular feeding is that the Alaskan dogs eat too much and suffer from indigestion. As a result, when it comes to eating dog food, they are too full and do not like to eat. At this time, you can take the Alaskan dog out for a walk, wait until it is hungry, and then come back to feed the dog food, so that it will eat it up quickly.
