Dog refusing bland diet foods, needs to be on them for a few more days.

Thanks for reaching out about your dog's diet challenge! It can be worrisome when our furry friends turn their noses up at their food, especially when they need to be on a bland diet for health reasons.



Sometimes, dogs can get tired of the same taste or texture, especially if they've been on this diet for a few days. You might try gently warming the food to enhance its aroma, making it more appealing. Alternatively, mixing a small amount of low-sodium chicken broth can also add some flavor while keeping the meal bland and safe for their tummy.



Make sure there’s no underlying cause for their lack of appetite. Check for any signs of discomfort, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy, which might indicate something more serious. If your dog shows any of these symptoms, it's a good idea to contact a vet promptly.



To make mealtime more appealing, offer the food in small amounts throughout the day rather than all at once. Also, ensure their eating area is calm and free from any stressors or distractions that might be putting them off.



If you continue to have trouble or notice any concerning symptoms, I’d recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets for a more tailored approach. Our team is always here to help guide you and your pup through any questions or health needs!
