Hi,
I'm really struggling to find the time to get online lately so I just wanted to post a quick thread wishing everyone's animals well, and to thank the people who replied to my last post about spending time with your dog
Mike - Hope things go great with Mitzy and don't forget to wet the babies head... 5-7 times lol.

I got a quick question too...
I'm having anightmare trying to get Floob to eat his food. He was unwell about 3 weeks ago so starved himself for a few days (still drinking and no vomiting so he was just getting whatever it was out of his system). He was always picky but now he's rediculous. I'm gonna give in and try him on canned food since the only time he'll attempt to eat any of his dry food is when it's mixed with canned, but that's few and far between.
Soo, I've had a quick look on the 'FOOD FOR THOUGHT' thread but most of the sites are about the quallity of dry or raw foods.
I wondered who had any advice on canned food? I'm already spending a bomb on his food so any would do. I just want to keep him on a good quallity food aswell as finding one he likes and will actually eat.

Thanks in advance

Forgot to say...
Samsintentions - If you're still making those collar covers I'm still very interested in a couple. I think you posted your email address but I'm not sure. (sorry). Here's mine, so if you have any pics of one or want to tell me what info you need to make one could you let me know please. Thank you.

Nik, I had that problem with Wylie, for 5 years I struggled to get her to eat and tried a lot of different foods. She was just a picky eater and would go a few days a lot without eating. I bought purina pro-plan last year, (which I know is horrible) but she loves it. I think it was just finding the right food she liked I dont even have to put canned food on it anymore. As for canned food - I gave her natures recipe for sensitive stomachs. So I think it may just be finding the right food that floob likes.

I would go with the canned foods of the same brands as the recommended dry foods. But first, I think I would try just putting out whatever I want him to eat, and don't offer anything else. See if he eventually eats it if he gets hungry enough. If he is in good health, I wouldn't worry about 2-3 days of fasting.
