When you offer your dog too many food options, it becomes an endless process. For instance, he might eat a certain food one day, but refuse to eat it the next day. Also, after a while, he might get bored of eating even his most favorite foods.
Hence, we can see that pet parents play a major role in spoiling a dog’s eating habits.
SOME OF THE MOST COMMON MISTAKES OF PET PARENTS:
Keeping food available all the time
Before we talk about this, let us take a dog’s natural habitat into consideration. Stray dogs must grab food immediately once it is available, or stay hungry. If they don’t consume it right away, they lose it to other animals or even ants for that matter.
Now think of it this way – if the food that you left on your plate was lying on your dining table for another 2 hours, would you feel like eating it? As humans, we associate food that is lying around to be stale, cold, and generally non-tempting. The same is the case with dogs.
When your dog knows that his food is going to lie there for him to eat whenever he likes, he won’t have any sense of urgency to eat it. Also, when food is lying around, it implies that nobody wants it, so he won’t want it either!
