Cavapoo puppies are an excellent dog breed for many, but did you know that they can often be picky eaters? When we first brought Sophie home, she was always excited to eat her dog food and she always ate very quickly. Now that she's a little older she tends to not eat her dog kibble and I became very worried when she wouldn't eat.
If you have a cavapoo just like Sophie, or just a picky eater, I have some tips, tricks and solutions that work great with Sophie and I'm sure would work with your dog too!

I realized I was giving TOO many treats, since my cavapoo is a toy and is only 3 lbs. it was killing her appetite. Now, I grind up her favorite treat with a fork and pour the dust on her kibble. Picky eating solved! Good luck, everyone!

I have an 11-month-old Mini Goldendoodle who has been picky from day 1 when I got her 7 months ago. I have tried changing her bowl with a plate, slow feeder, snuffle mat, puzzle, etc. Some changes have worked for a few days but do not seem to be effective. Although I am not keen on doing so, I am currently hand feeding her. She will not eat kibble or canned dog food; she likes but doesn't love air-dried dog food (chicken flavor). Thanks for the video.

I think alot of dogs like kibble, or they just get tired of earing kibble. Could you imagine eating the same thing everyday? Dogs like human need some variety with there food, a kibble only diet would just suck for anyone

I need help. I have a 7 month old Chorkie who has lost interest in ALL her food. She will NOT eat ANYTHING! I took her to her Vet and the irony is she’s NOT losing weight, she has puppy energy, but yet she won’t eat! I have fed her the BEST of EVERY brand. Wet, dry, mixed, any and everything BUT JUNK kibble. But for one day I catered and she wouldn’t even eat that. I don’t over treat, or, feed her table food. At the moment I have her on The Farmer’s Dog and I am experiencing the same issue…

Are you giving your dog too many treats? Puppies are usually picky eaters and become the devourer of worlds when they get older. Give less treats and they will eat

Hi I was wondering if Sophie is still a finicky eater? My toy Aussie has been finicky since 8 weeks, he’s six months now and I play fetch and tug to get him to eat outta my hand! It’s so frustrating lol

@NessaandSophie 2 года назад

Sophie is still definitely a picky eater but she's gotten so much better and it's been a lot easier to manage! I can definitely understand the stress you must be feeling with your puppy and how difficult it must be to get your puppy to eat. I actually updated this video because I discovered a new way that gets Sophie to eat, if you want to watch the new video here's the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-riRn70lYOdI.html.

My Cavapoo named Missy is five months old but I’ve always had a problem with her eating and since I gave her table food to mix with her food she ate it did pretty good and then she got tired of that she just picked add it got what she thought was all of it and wouldn’t eat her food I don’t know what to do

@NessaandSophie 2 года назад

Sophie was the same way, I think she may have gotten bored of the same meal toppers we were giving her so we really had to switch it up and try other dog foods. Have you tried any meal toppers that your local pet food store sells?

@pokerqAK47 Год назад

Kibble is not good for dogs, no wonder she refuses it. She wants normal food. Mine refuses all food so these tips were not really helpful unfortunately

@vaishnavis9645 2 года назад

My 5 month old cavapoo has been picky since day 1 and it’s driving me crazy. We’re trying to do the meal disciplining by putting down the food for 30 minutes and then taking it away but it only works towards the later part of the day. During the mornings he just won’t even eat and by lunch or post lunch around 4 he gets really hungry and will wolf down his whole meal. Idk how long it is going to take him to get the point that this is his food. Adding toppers or anything extra to his food only makes him more picky, he gets eats it for a few days and wants something better. Sorry about this long rant. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

@NessaandSophie 2 года назад

I totally understand your struggle, these tips I provide in the video do help but there are just some days where Sophie refuses to eat and I have the same thing happen where she's more likely to eat her dinner food rather than breakfast (I think it's because when she eats less at breakfast she's hungrier for dinner). Our breeder recommended doing the meal disciplining but I find it doesn't make a difference with picky eaters, because they don't want it regardless of how long it stays out. What I've been doing with Sophie recently that's been working is using a variety of soft fruits and cooked veggies mushed up in her bowl. If we make a meal with broccoli for dinner, I'll mush up a tree into her food and save an extra piece for the morning and do the same. I always change up the veggies we use (safe for dogs of course), so it could be cooked carrots, cabbage, spinach etc. Sometimes I'll choose a fruit instead to add to her food, as long as it's in moderation and small amounts, it helps Sophie eat and I'm not worrying about her missing meals and losing vital nutrients. Cavapoos are REALLY smart so you literally have to mush it into their food otherwise they'll pick out the good stuff and leave behind their food. I really hope this helps!

@vaishnavis9645 2 года назад

@@NessaandSophie thanks for your response. I tried this and it worked to some extent but what has been working so far is some boiled chicken mixed with kibble. But I do think my pup gets bored of toppers quickly. He was excited about boiled egg topper for some days and now doesn’t want anything to do with it. If you could do a video on store bought and homemade food toppers that mix well with kibble for picky eaters that would be great.

@NessaandSophie 2 года назад

@@vaishnavis9645 I'm glad to hear something helped. Have you tried switching foods yet? Since Sophie's turned a year old, I've been trying out different foods and different toppers. I know you're a little more restricted as he's still a puppy and can only eat puppy food. I'm still figuring Sophie out to see what's working best but once I've tried enough strategies I can definitely update this video and talk more about toppers.

@sassysandie2865 9 месяцев назад

I don’t understand why people cater to thrive dogs. Give them good healthy food and if they are hungry enough they will eat it. Just like a kid only wants hot dogs and Mac and cheese. Don’t give in.
