Advice Needed; Please. by xreal(op): 9:13pm On May 25, 2015
I bought an 8kg Jo-Jo Crunchy dry food for my dog.

He isn't eating it at alll.

What can I do, pls?

He is a 10 month old Boerboel.

Have you tried soaking the dry food in water or milk before giving to the dog?

Try soaking...

Try milk..(my dog will drink d milk and leave the dry food grin)

Or pound with dry fish..

if it does not work... simply look for another dog and give it d already soaked food and let him eat it while your dog watches grin grin (chain ur dog first sha)

I know how you feel. Once bought a 15kg bag of dog food and rats ate half of it cry

Before u start trying options, take into considerration:

Deworming?
Health condition? 
Age of the pup?

What has d dog bn eating prior?
How's the size of the dog?
Is he getting lean?

Is he a scared dog?
Are there other dogs/persons around that intimidate the dog?

Yes, it's been dewormed regularly.
It's almost 11 months.
Sincerely, it is getting lean, 'cos I starve it to make sure it eats the JoJo dry food.

He is not a scared dog at all, other dogs are around it but it dominates.

I feed it indomie waste with lots of fish, meat and bones. Twice daily for the past six months.

I'm a lil bit busy these days to do the cooking, that was why I went ahead to get the dry food.


Thanks.

Buy arion or diamond extreme. Buy small quantity like 3kg first. Starve the dog for very long and serve it dry the way it is no add anything only crayfish if any. Make sure the dog does not have any option but the dry food morning n night.it'll bulge. Dogs can endure especially boerboels

A dog can even eat its own poop just to survive. Hunger no dey kill
