Why Is My Dog a Picky Eater? Causes, Fixes & Enrichment Feeding Ideas

 

Tired of your dog refusing to eat their food unless it’s roast chicken? You’re not alone! In this video, we explore why dogs become picky eaters, what feeding habits contribute to food fussiness, and how to reset your dog’s motivation using enrichment feeding and positive reinforcement.

 

Picky eating often stems from dogs getting used to human food, food variety, or free feeding, which reduces motivation. We’ll explain how to:

 

  • Identify the real reasons your dog won’t eat—whether behavioral, medical, or environmental

  • Avoid overfeeding with table scraps or unhealthy processed human food (which can lead to conditions like pancreatitis)

  • Reignite food motivation by ditching the bowl and turning meals into engaging activities like scent games, snuffle mats, puzzle toys, or DIY feeders made from egg cartons and muffin trays

  • Understand feeding environment issues, like your dog wanting to eat alone or feeling unsafe

  • Choose a high-quality dog food and avoid constantly switching brands

 

We also cover why dogs need to work for food, how to build healthy routines, and when to consult a vet or trainer for help.
