Try Ox Cheek - it worked for Hamish (entire male Rottweiler) he had always been a fussy eater, left home at 5 months old and was fed RC, he was returned at 15/16mths and put back on a raw diet. Was a shitty few months getting him to eat properly but well worth it. I have been raw feeding for several years now - even before he left he was not eating as well as the others. After trying just about everything you can imagine - I was told to give him ox cheek and it worked straight away. Don't know why I didn't give it to him because I usually have it in the freezer. At 20 months old he is still a slow eater but he eats very well, I feed him Barf and lamb bones every day, he takes his time with food but he eats it. He is not keen on chicken and I don't like giving him chicken if he won't eat it quickly - but lamb is ok to leave, especially in this weather. His mother and sister are pigs with food - it's gone so fast I doubt they would even taste it. What is normal for them is not normal for him. Good luck getting your Dobe to eat properly - it is frustrating.. Thaks for your reply He isn't a fussy eater, he will eat everything and anything but the problem is every couple of weeks he will go completely off his food, wont look at it, not interested in food at all I have taken the dog to a fresh meat place after calling them and explaining to them my situation (they do raw diet only at this place) they said look bring him down he will eat this food. Drove him down and nothing - wouldn't even smell it! The lady was shocked, first time she had ever seen or had this happen He will eat everything and anything - just goes off food every now and again

thanks for all your replies, definitely some food for thought (no pun intended) I will continue to speak with his breeder! It's very difficult to have a hard to feed dog, it's emotionally draining as you look at the dog who apart from a bit lean is healthy looking and happy but wont eat! I will definitely try idea's suggested and hopefully something will work, though I welcome any other suggestions or ideas!

Thanks Rommi Yes, we have tried satin balls, but as mentioned he will eat them then starve himself for a week, and loose all the weight he gained I will refuse to force feed a dog, it creates them to have worse problems!

when he eats he eats like a wild pig but then will stop all together!!
