Scarlet loves to munch on the grass and I think she may be part goat. But she wont eat greens I give her.
She is the worst begger in the world. She is so bad that I am so embarrassed by her ruthless attempts when she begs. She will beg for any thing, I mean anything.
I wont lie, I give in to her begging. I eat pretty healthy, I do not give her things like ice cream, pizza, etc. I give her what I am eating and she really wants noting to do with it and she usually stops begging.
I have been trying to give her fruits, veggies and greens, but she doesnt want anything to do with them. She will eat strawberries as long as they are sweet and room temp, thats the only fruit she will eat. Seriously, if it doesnt smell like meat or cheese she wont eat it.
How can I "trick" her to eating more healthy snacks.
And no I wont stop the begging habit now...she is 10 and soooooo cute and my doggie soul mate. My other one has better manners and seems he has read Mr Manners for dogs.

Re: Trying to get Scarlet B to eat greens/veggies/fruits
Sun, April 13, 2008 - 6:12 PMSome dogs are just picky.
Loki eats kale, but not romaine.
Actually, he eats anything I put in his bowl besides onions and light lettuce. He loves melon rind!
She might like them more raw. Or cooked. I second the PB idea.
Lots of dogs like carots.
Maybe put them in her food bowl when you feed her.
She may just be too old to develop the taste for them............... -

Sun, April 13, 2008 - 9:18 PMSuzy will eat anything you hand her. Speck picks veggies out of his bowl and lays them to the side so she'll finish them off for him.

Fri, April 18, 2008 - 2:21 PMThanks Jenn :)
He must know they aren't good for him b/c he won't touch them. -

So, this sound more like you have tried to give him onions. Not that you don't put them in his bowl.

Re: Trying to get Scarlet B to eat greens/veggies/fruits
Sun, April 20, 2008 - 7:27 PMI think i gave him onion ONE time, he wouldn't eat it and I don't do it anymore. I also read about their dangers.
Obviously I'm not going to poison my dog. -

Re: Trying to get Scarlet B to eat greens/veggies/fruits
Sun, April 20, 2008 - 10:22 PMWhat you mean you're not supposed to give your dog onions ?
Because it gives them bad breath right ?

Re: Trying to get Scarlet B to eat greens/veggies/fruits
Mon, April 14, 2008 - 8:40 AMCook broccolli and carrots, then put them in the blender and mix in with her food...that way she can't pick them out. -

Re: Trying to get Scarlet B to eat greens/veggies/fruits
Tue, April 15, 2008 - 6:45 AMCooking them in low sodium chicken broth might do the trick. It works for Pip. He's not crazy about broccoli or any dark green if given raw, but he'll eat them greedily if cooked in broth.

Re: Trying to get Scarlet B to eat greens/veggies/fruits
Fri, April 18, 2008 - 9:13 AMtry baby carrots (they're sweeter), apples (without the skin) and bananas -
-
Re: Trying to get Scarlet B to eat greens/veggies/fruits
Fri, April 18, 2008 - 5:40 PMFunny thing is that Pippin hates fresh banana, but loves them when they're dried. Strange dog. -
-
Re: Trying to get Scarlet B to eat greens/veggies/fruits
Fri, April 18, 2008 - 10:49 PMMaybe because they're crunchy?
Dogs ARE strange and picky. Just like their humans :)
Loki is totally sweet to everyone at the park. Except people wearing red shirts........

I could be wrong, but I think store bought dried banana may be sweeter. (?) I haven't tried dried banana with Paladin yet. I know he doesn't care for fresh bananas. He *does* like Peaches, Nectarines, and Apples. (Especially Gravensteins, which are my favorite! )
When I had my Tibbie, OshKosh, he loved carrots. (I had a rabbit back then, too. He begged for carrots when I gave them to the rabbit. OshKosh also liked the rabbit feed. Talk about Strange dog! )
Molly, has Loki been watching old episodes of the Original Star Trek series? (Maybe he thinks those people are "expendables"? ) ;D

Thu, April 24, 2008 - 7:24 PMOk so the worlds most brattiest dog loves peas...who knew.
I hate peas personally, but if she loves them, Ill sacrifice my hatred and make them for her...
