My pet Koffee has not been eating much the past few weeks. It seems like his bowl always has some leftovers and other times, he would seem totally uninterested with the food. I only give him dog food because it’s the easiest for me to prepare and for consistency - I heard that some pets get picky and only eat certain favorite foods. But now i’m thinking, could the food be boring him? He has been eating Holistic Recipe’s Lamb and Rice with Green tea for a few months now. I was so tempted to go out and buy him some of the more “tasty” (and more expensive) dog food like eukanuba, science diet or royal canin, but finally decided against it because of the price and the smell of the you-know-what after he eats other dog food. Also, the main reason why I chose to give Koffee Holistic in the first place was because I believe that it would be healthier for him and it’s not as expensive as the other holistic brands like the one from Fromm Family Recently, I heard that Ellen Degenres is also endorsing a new holistic dog food called Halo.

Oh, going back to Koffee… I made sure to give him his deworming meds to make sure that he isn’t sick with some parasite and then I tried to trick him into taking some vitamins by coating some of his fav treats with it and i think it helped a bit. At least he is getting some energy from the vitamins and hopefully it would also increase his appetite. Nowadays, i notice that there are still some leftovers in his bowl but whenever i sit down and watch him, he would walk over to his bowl and finish it up. Could it be that he is just asking for attention? I haven’t been spending much time with him… with all the school, work and other activities lately.
