My Little Girl doesn't want to eat
Hi everyone, it has been a while since I post anything about our little girl Lucy. She is now almost 10 months old and about 50 lbs. She recently went through some skin problem (allergy) and some stomach issue. But all of it has been resolved. Anyway, I recently noticed that she won't eat her food. It is not like she doesn't want to eat anything, she just don't want to eat her kibbles. I try to mix it with chicken, carrot, or chicken stock. She will pick at it a little and try to eat all the chicken without eating her kibbles. Sometime she won't even touch it if I just mix her kibbles with canned food. I don't have anymore tricks to get her to eat anymore. I would love some suggestion from you all, it is greatly appreciated.
She is currently on Blue Buffalo Puppy, 1 1/2 cup for lunch 2 cups for dinner
She has her daily walk and we take her to the dog park to play at least three times a day. We trained with her everyday as well.
Thanks!!!

Personally, I would fast her for a day. On the second day I would provide her 2 cups of kibble with a little canned food very well mixed in.
Do NOT leave food bowls out to finish eating at a later time if your Bull Terrier walks away from the bowl. She needs to realize when it's eating time she either eats or misses the meal. She will soon look forward to her next meal and understand that when it's time to eat it's time to EAT. Many people have better success with feeding only once a day vice twice. This will ensure her appetite is good during feeding time. It will also ensure the dog eats all the food provided knowing it will be 24 hours until the next meal is provided.
Now is a good time to cut out any treats you're providing her and letting her know that food isn't something that is going to be readily available and something she can pick and choose upon.
