A premium brand of dry food is best for your dog. Make any changes to the diet gradually over three days to a week. Do not give your dog vitamins or “people food.” Feed two meals a day to an adult dog, and three meals a day to a puppy under six months old. Pick up the food after a few minutes even if the dog hasn’t finished. If your dog consistently does not finish, you are probably giving your dog too much food. Do not leave food down all day. Your dog will learn to eat immediately if you follow through with this exercise for 48 hours. Your dog should have fresh water at all times, unless you pick it up for housebreaking purposes.
