my 2 year old jack russel terrier wont eat. ive tried a couple different foods but she wont eat them. asking anyone who have had jack russell terriers what kind of food did you feed them?

Jacks are not known for being fussy eaters! How long have you had her?

Pugdawg1 · 07-26-2005, 11:01 AM

How long are you giving her, before you change foods? Changed foods a lot? What have you tried? Often if you out stubborn a dog, they'll eat. Not too many are willng to starve themselves.

i've had her since she was 1 and i've changed foods 5 different times like after she wouldnt for a month. i've tried purina hills natural diet and others. i havnt tried iams should i try it

JackLover · 07-27-2005, 10:38 AM

No dont feed iams its a bad food! What was she on before you had her? Is her mouth ok? have you checked teeth, gums etc?

meganc · 07-27-2005, 10:55 AM

JackLover · 07-27-2005, 11:52 AM

Kade · 07-27-2005, 11:54 AM

Is she drinking plenty of water? That's so important!

meganc · 07-27-2005, 01:29 PM

How long has this been going on for now? have you tried her on dry or wet food?

meganc · 08-09-2005, 07:51 AM

JackLover · 08-11-2005, 11:18 AM

I am glad everything is working out now!!! I feed mine a mixture of Purina One and Kibbles and bits. They seem to love both but purina one is more healthy for them...

Kibble and bits is a very bad food, is full of rubbish, dont know much about purina but please try not to feed kibble and bits its on the very bad dog food list

Lets just say I get a 5lb batg of kibbles and bits and then a 23 or 20 something pound back on purina one. Purina is about the best thing for a dog becasue it has a meat as the first ingredient. Its very pricey but healthy.
