Cocker Spaniels - pushing


Expert: Delores Beck - 5/27/2009

Question
QUESTION: Our 2 yr old rescue has the habit of when we place his bowl down he pushes it around the floor, sometimes eating some times not. Sometimes he even tips it over..what's the deal?

ANSWER: It's simple.  He's telling you he doesn't like the food.
What are you feeding him?

QUESTION: Wish that answer was correct,we would have thought of that ourselves,as a matter of fact we did and have tried several different brands.We have tried Alpo,Pedigree,and several dry foods,all with the same result.He does like table food though,I really don't to start on that.I'm afraid you'll have to rethink that one.

Answer
No, I don't have to :)  You're using inferior Supermarket food..it's crap.

Try some Innova Evo - California Natural - Fromm - Evanger's - Wellness- Newman's organics and he won't turn the dish over.

I'd use some Innova Evo dry with perhaps some Canidae canned.
He'll eat - trust me.

Go to Naturapet.com and find out where the nearest pet store is that sells "good food".  If a store sells Innova (Naturapet) then they carry other premium brands.

Even PetSmart carries AvoDerm - an excellent food.  Petco carries Solid Gold - Halo - Cesar Milan's food.  Always use canned along with kibble.  it's higher protein and less processed.
