Let's try a few simple recipes for a picky eater ok? I'll come back later to post more and if anyone else has some please post.

Have you tried chicken and rice? I'm not sure what else you've tried so I would be typing a long list but these are natural healthy flavors to add weight. Keep in mind that I don't agree with some of the research out there from companies that support pharmaceuticals and pet food companies.

Whenever possible buy organic. Your pet is as sensitive to chemicals as you are

1) raw organic farm fresh eggs- if you have a farm close see if you can get a dozen that are fresh and have not yet been chilled. Otherwise buy free range organic eggs and check the date for freshness. This will make her coat soft and add calories. You can separate and just give yolk IF you want.

2) peanut butter - again organic - you can warm and mix with little water or just blend with food.

3) Greek Yogurt - There are very few dogs I know that don't like yogurt. Just make sure its the cultured yogurt and that the fruit flavors if you use them are natural and sugar isnt added. Otherwise use plain.

4) Flax Seed or Hemp Oil

Start with a starch- rice oatmeal or sweet potato. Take this and add her cheese and see if she will eat just that. Next add Boil chicken or turkey. If you can afford organic buy it. Mix in raw eggs yolks a little at a time playing around with combination. Put peanut butter on food or your finger and let her lick it off. Add oil to food. Try yogurt. I give my dogs yogurt 1-2 times a week.

I have a toy poodle that hates veggies and is picky. I buy Green Viberance - a green super food filled with veggies fruits vitamins and probiotics. I make myself a shake everyday with organic whey protein and raw egg. I make a concentrated mini dose like a paste for her pull into a large syringe and pop it in her her mouth twice a day. I just started doing this a week ago and I'll be damn if her appetite isn't increasing. Sometimes proper nutrients will stimulate this.

I have a dog here i am watching for 4 months. When he came he was severely underweight. For one thing he had worms and no one knew this. When I saw him and touched him I knew he did. I didn't put him with other dogs until I could see what was going on. The food they dropped off with him was crap. People think that just because it says DOG FOOD or believe commercials that its ok. It was full of grain and carbs which only kept feeding the parasites he already had (converting to sugar). I treated him for worms using a chemical they use for horses only because he was so long without treatment otherwise I would use food grade Diatomaceous Earth.

I then switched his food to a non-grain food but I added my own brown rice, 2 raw egg yolks a day, tsp vinegar, 1 garlic clove or pill, tbsp of peanut butter and some yogurt. Additionally to help fight whatever he had I added B complex and Vitamin C.

Within two weeks there was a huge improvement and today he not only looks awesome but even his attitude has changed. His owner is overjoyed and sorry she didnt know. Two doggie day cares before me didn't spot worms in his poop. I would have fired my staff over that. We have a rule here- I hate picking up poop but whoever picks up poop is given a poop inspection lesson. If that poop looks even a little funny I'm to be called to see. I also walk around the yards looking at fresh poop after meals. Looking at your dogs poop is disgusting but very important.
