Last night, I deicided to sprinkle a teaspoon of parmesean cheese on Odie's food. For the first time ever, he settled right in and ate the whole bowl full. So, I'm figuring I'll find out that parmesean is bad for him, since it works. Is there anything I can put in there, even in itty bitty quantities, that will entice him to eat kibble willingly?
He has never liked eating kibble, no matter the flavor. He will eat a new flavor for a couple of meals, and then just walks away when we put the bowl down after that. He has done this since we got him at eight weeks old. He has put on weight just fine, and doesn't have any loose stool, and the vet says he is just picky. But he will snoop constantly around the kitchen floor, and nab cat food when he can. Do I just let him go hungry until he is willing to eat? I don't want to start a bad habit with 'dressing' his food. I figured someone here might be able to give me some insight.
