Finicky eating poms, here's some suggestions for foods.
Apr 15 2008, 9:01 PM EDT
I have an 18 month old pom, I've owned/had since she was a wee baby. As every pom owner knows, our little babies are wonderful in every way and bring true happiness to every family, but they do have one area of difficulty and that's eating. Yes, they'll eat people food all day if you feed it, but don't! Yes Yes, I know there finiky for dry food yet it should be a dry diet that they get, for the most part anyways. I do on occasion give Nina my pom some fresh raw foods, however after trial and error and doing alot of research I've found that dogs in general need a close to raw diet and "without" grains/fillers. There are several foods that meet these requirements but the two (2) I most recommend are EVO red meat small bites dry dog food, my pom especially loves this and another excellent is Blue Wilderness, it's also an excellent food as well. Both of these are known as ancestrial foods meaning as close to what your dog would of prefered to of ate in the wild as possible. There's several others that are close to these two but in my opinion not as good. A word of warning when changing to a high protien all natural foods like EVO, slowly mix your new foods with the old foods so as not to give your Pom indigestion or some other negative responce as there prone to get. Some will say don't feed these as there too high in protiens but there not but all dogs are different and your Pom could not be able to eat this food, however there's several others that are a notch down from these yet still very good foods and easier to find and those are foods by Blue Buffalo and Nutro Ultra, make sure it's the holistic Ultra version of Nutro id you go that route. These foods all contains good meats/low carbs and fresh fruit and vegi's mixed inside not to mention the probiotics needed for good intestinal health and flora. My Pom Nina is an especially finicky eater but from all the dog foods tried, she almost devours her EVO, try it:))
