HOW DO YOU GET A DOG TO EAT RAW WHEN ALL THEY DO IS WALK AWAY FROM IT AS SOON AS YOU PUT IT DOWN...LEG QUARTER, RIBEYE, IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER, THE BITCH SMELLS IT AND JUST WALKS AWAY FROM IT (THE ONLY THING THE BITCH IS MISSING IS A HAZMAT SUIT,LOL), SHE WON'T EVEN LICK IT...ANY SUGGESTIONS IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
Are you sure u got a dog? Never ever heard of a dog turning down meat. On a serious note i would give her a bowl of raw, if shes not eating just pick it up and try next day. Eventually she will be hungry enough.
Try to give your dog smaller portions of whatever you are feeding, a dog that gets too much food wont be interested...especially one that's used to feed on dog pellets. Just give a hand full pellets and start introducing the raw..a dog should always and quickly finish his bowl of food..
^ What he said, I'd probably just leave a lil bit of organ meat (chicken gizzard/heart) and she will eventually eat it. If she don't eat anything after two days, something must be wrong because I don't know of any hound that won't eat organ meat. Once she starts eating raw, she will love it and you won't have to worry about her appetite. My lil bitch love feed time. Lol. Good luck with her.Originally Posted by skipper
dogs wont starve themselves..... drizzle a little bacon grease over it.... if the dont eat it... pick it up throw it in the fridge and try again tomorrow......... they will eventually eat it.... mine were reluctant at first also
lol YEA THAT'S WHAT I WAS SAYING, I WAS BUGGING
WHEN I FIRST STARTED I GRADUALLY STARTED THE TRANSITION...I GAVE HER LITTLE LESS KIBBLE AND A LITTLE BIT OF RAW, THIS BITCH WOULDN'T EVEN MOVE IT (RAW) OUT OF THE WAY TO GET TO THE KIBBLE BUT WHEN I BRING THE BOWL WITH JUST KIBBLE SHE'LL EAT IT UP...I DIDN'T WANT TO GO THE "LET HER STAY HUNGRY" UNTIL SHE EATS IT ROUTE...BUT I WILL TAKE ANOTHER STAB AT IT BECAUSE I KNOW ON RAW THIS BITCH WOULD LOOK AWESOME (CAUSE SHE HAS THAT BODY TYPE)..AND ALSO IT'S BAD WHEN THE WHOLE YARD IS EATING RAW AND I STILL HAVE TO BUY A BAG A KIBBLE FOR 1 DOG LOL.
THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTIONS FELLAS..
I knew a fellow a few yrs ago whose dog refused to eat raw chicken and just walked away from it.
He ended up putting the chicken quarter in a frying pan and searing it on both sides a little bit. By lightly cooking it, then the dog ate it and he was able to feed the lightly cooked raw for a time and then gradually cooking it less and less until the dog ate it raw and then that dog was fine with it.
So maybe try cooking it a little in a hot pan with some oil, let it cool and fed her that. Most dogs like cooked chicken, you just cook it a little so they try it and then cook it less so they get used to eating it raw.
Raw feeding is good for them but sometimes you have to think outside the box to get them started on it. Good luck!
Common sense isn't so common these days.
Good chicken bones is not a good idea. Remove the meat from the bone.
Cooked bones splinter and kill a dog
Lightly frying a chicken quarter isn't cooking the bone, so that's not an issue.
I wouldn't risk it... JMO
Remove the meat from bone... Cook the meat and then throw the raw bone to the dog

I still haven't run up on a dog that wouldn't just eat raw... Hoping the best
