I have a 1 year old chihuahua and he won't eat any of his food, we buy him so many different cans to try but he never eats it, I even try to shove some in his mouth but he spits it out
Also, only sometimes he eats his dry food, I feed him boiled chicken, like plain natural chicken leg and sometimes boiled sausages... I don't know if feeding him this is healthy but its been like his diet for a while already..
Any ideas how/what/why he doesn't eat his food =(

If you feed him people food, he's not going to eat his dog food. Stop feeding him people food and leave out dry dog-food. He will eat it when he gets hungry enough. If you are too afraid to do this, then start mixing dry food in with the people food you give him, and slowly upping the amount of dry dog food vs. people food, until eventually it is fully dry dog food. He won't even notice.

people food can really fuck up a smaller dog.

my aunts weiner dog ended up getting really sick and had some serious stomach issues after many years of it.

go to the vette and look into gastrol intestinal aid food, your dog may have developed a stomach problem and may require a special diet

I agree with you I have a chihuahua he is 8 now and he used to have the same problem. I boiled some rice nd mixed it with his dry dog food and slowly weened him off the rice. Now he eats dry dog food regularly.
