What should I do if my little bichon doesn’t eat?
What should I do if my little Bichon Frize doesn’t eat? First, fast one meal to my little Bichon Frize and observe it to find out why the Bichon Frize doesn’t eat. If your little Bichon doesn’t eat in the summer, provide it with light and delicious food and enough drinking water. If the dog is not eating and is accompanied by other symptoms, the Bichon Frize may be sick and needs timely treatment. The picky eater needs to be corrected by feeding regularly and quantitatively.

First of all, when the Bichon Frize is not eating, parents should reasonably fast the Bichon Frize for one meal, observe the physical behavior of the Bichon Frize, and check the reasons why the Bichon Frize is not eating. For example, in the hot summer, when the weather is sultry, Bichon Frize dogs will not want to eat. This is a normal physiological reaction, just like humans not wanting to eat or drink in a hot climate. At this time, parents don’t need to worry too much. They only need to pay close attention to the Bichon Frize’s physical condition, provide it with some light and delicious food, and prepare enough drinking water.

Secondly, if it is found that the Bichon Frize is accompanied by other symptoms during the fasting stage, such as depression, vomiting, diarrhea, sleep preference, runny eyes and runny nose, etc., this means that the Bichon Frize appears due to disease. If the dog refuses to eat, parents need to take the dog to the pet hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time, and then recuperate with nutritious and light food, so that the Bichon Frize can recover as soon as possible and its appetite will gradually improve.

Finally, it should be noted that Bichon Frize dogs with poor living habits may also be picky eaters, anorexia, and refuse to eat. Faced with this situation, parents should take coercive measures to change their bad living habits. Limit the Bichon Frize's eating time to 15-20 minutes every day, and prepare a fixed amount of food. Once the eating time has passed, parents should remove the food in time until the next meal is fed normally, and during this period, parents cannot feed the dog Any other snacks for dogs, but you need to prepare enough water to slowly correct the Bichon Frize's bad living habits so that it can eat normally.
