Got Pomchi?
New member
My 8 month old 7.4 lb Pom/chi hates her new food, Paw Naturaw raw organic chicken and turkey patties. However, this is the best food available and by golly, she's going to eat it! She ate it the first day or so, plus a couple sporadic times, but mostly I have to force feed her. Her energy is great, her appetite (for everything else) is great, she just hates it. I've tried salmon oil, dried bison Paw Naturaw (which she loves), jarred baby food, peanut butter, cheese, basically everything she likes on top but she won't eat a bite. I've only been getting 1 or2 oz into her a day, plus a couple spoonfuls of bison to season it (she can't eat straight bison without diarrhea) although she hasn't lost weight. I am ordering some Raw Advantage beef to mix in, but it won't be here for like a week and this is getting ridiculous. I'm a little nervous to just wait till she's hungry enough to eat it since she's so small. How long can a tiny dog with very little fat reserves go without food? I've already intentionally kept her very slim, so she doesn't have fat to live off. The vet says to just wait her out and she'll cave, but I'm not so sure, hence the force feeding. Plus she gets an hour long walk/run per day, so she's burning up a fair amount of calories right there
