My parents dog is like this. I'm used to dogs insanely eating anything available like they're starving. (oh... this whole community is about this). She acts like she thinks she'll be scolded for eating or something... no idea why.

Captain Killian is not alone! Snap a pic next time you visit and join the fun of posting in here ☺️

A dog that doesn't like to eat was not on the bingo card of issues we would have by getting a puppy but her we are hehe

I wondered if you were still at this!

I am still here :) I try to not repeat meals that have already been posted. Otherwise it will be post 500 of him refusing chicken, spinach, and Chex which doesn't make for exciting content.

He tends to be fed many of the same meals as it is hard to balance nutritional needs while creating new recipes, but I try to post the outliers.

Yeah man. Got a new puppy a month or so ago myself. He does NOT have the same issue :)

One of my dogs swallows before he’s done chewing. I feed them chicken quarters so it’s pretty big prices. Sometimes he swallows too fast and has to hack it back up for a second chew. Gross and hilarious to watch. He’ll never learn.

He does that with kibble. I cut his meat into pieces so he doesn't pull a chunk on to the floor to hold it down while he rips pieces off.

For chunks of meat and other small food items, he will delicately eat them. Bigger items like vegetable Tempura, he will peel the tempura off and eat little pieces at a time until the tempura is gone. Then he eats the veggie. Watching him deconstruct a quesadilla to eat it ingredients by ingredient is hilarious. 5 minute ordeal for a single slice.
