Now he ALWAYS eats everything I give him!

Now that he is eating well, I switch between two different types of food every day(ZiwiPeak and S&C) for variety, but he never skips a meal anymore. Just be consistent until she starts eating regularly, and then you can add in some variety if you want.

That said, if you think she isn't eating because she is sick, I would take her to the vet. Most likely though, she is just being picky
I agree with Missy. I would put the food down for 20 minuets and if she doesn't eat, pick it up until the next feeding time. She will get hungry enough soon enough. Also, as someone else mentioned, make sure your roomie isn't giving her human food snacks And finally, if you haven't already ruled it out, check out the raw feeding section here. It has great information & it's a great way to feed! Good luck

This is why I love The Honest kitchen as it is human food specifically made for dogs with a balance of protein, nutrients and vitamins. The dogs actually think they are eating human food and most love it. M chi begs for it, although I've never had an eating problem with her.
