Some dogs clear their dinner bowls within seconds whereas others are less excited by their food and would rather be playing, sleeping or waiting for treats instead. Just like humans, dogs can be fussy eaters too. We\u2019ve put together a list of tips to help your dog love dinner time:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b> Cut down on other food<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">If you\u2019re feeding your dog treats or scraps in between meals, their appetite will be reduced and they\u2019ll be more likely to turn their nose up at dinner.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><b> Mix it up <\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The flavours in dog foods can often be enhanced with a few tricks. To help bring out the aromas, try:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Warming the kibbles up in the microwave for a few seconds<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Combining the kibbles with warm water<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Adding a low-salt gravy <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Adding a small amount of watered down Marmite<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><b> Add some variety<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">To change up your dog\u2019s menu, try adding a small amount of wet food to their dry kibbles. This will add some different meaty smells, tastes and textures to grab their attention. At tails.com we have a range of 15 delicious recipes, the perfect accompaniment to your dog\u2019s tailor-made dry blend including tasty jellies, meaty <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\">p\u00e2t\u00e9s <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\">and hearty gravies.

Keep up this routine for a few days, demonstrating to your dog that dinner time is the key meal of the day. Keep in mind, however, that puppies under 6 months need to be fed more often than once a day. <\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><b> Ask us for a reblend<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">For tails.com customers, if your dog still isn\u2019t too keen on their tails.com food after a week, we\u2019re more than happy to arrange a reblend of their tailor-made dry food. We\u2019ll keep the same levels of nutrients but use different ingredients with different tastes.
