Health & WellbeingHi, we are fostering a timid beagle whose eating drinking habits are challenging, can you give us some tips, we have her almost 2 weeks, thank you, Diane
Hi and thanks for posting on Boop by Petco! Sometimes eating and drinking behavior can change due to underlying dental disease or another health issue. I would recommend Maggie get checked out with her veterinarian soon. Your veterinarian will do an exam along with a oral exam and may recommend blood work and/or a dental cleaning. If all is normal, then perhaps Maggie may be particular with her food. I would choose a good quality food for her such as Wellness, Taste of the Wild, Solid Gold, Royal Canin, Hill's, Acana, or Orijen just to name a few. Try not to change the food frequently as this may encourage her to be finicky. She will eat when she's hungry enough! But first, I would be sure to have her seen by her vet just to make sure there is nothing else going on that may cause eating/drinking changes. I hope this helps and thanks again for posting!
