Solutions to poodle picky eaters:
1. First of all, through careful observation and physical examination when necessary, confirm that your poodle does not suffer from any disease, but is just a picky eater.
2. Then, when feeding, give the poodle a normal amount of food and wait for 10 seconds. If the puppy starts eating within 10 seconds, there is nothing you need to do and the puppy is doing fine.
3. If it lingers, or runs away to play after smelling it, put the meal away and do not give any food until the next feeding time.
4. During the next feeding time, if the poodle quickly eats the amount of food you gave him, that’s good. If there is a little left, estimate the amount of food left and feed it half the amount it eats the next time you feed it. For example, if you give 100 grams this time and it eats 80 grams, please give 40 grams next time.
5. If the dog continues to lick the bowl after eating and wants to continue eating. When feeding next time (not this time!), you can increase the amount of food by 20%. This cycle continues until it returns to normal appetite.
6. Some poodles are very stubborn and can go without eating for three or four days until you give in. At this time, it’s time for you to compete with your will. You know, as long as there is sufficient drinking water, puppies not eating for 2-3 days or even longer will not harm the health of the poodle.
Sometimes, your "kindness" and "love" will actually harm your poodle. Therefore, when it comes to the health of your poodle, you must be ruthless to correct the bad habit of the puppy being picky eaters!
