If you are planning to get a dog, it is worth considering that breeds differ not only in appearance but also in character. In addition, some dogs are more picky eaters than others. Some breeds eat everything, while others may eat very little or refuse to eat at all.

The Scotsman portal has compiled a list of 10 dog breeds that most often demonstrate picky eating.

  1. French Bulldog. This breed is known for its picky eating habits. Recommendations include feeding in a cool place, adding chicken broth, or hand-feeding.
  2. Maltese. They quickly get bored with the same food. If the dog refuses to eat, you should offer him food with a new flavor or texture. In some cases, even baby food can help.
  3. Greyhound. These dogs love consistency. Changes in diet or stress can cause them to refuse to eat.
  4. Bichon Frise. They like variety in their diet, but due to their tendency to allergies, it is important to choose food carefully. Sometimes refusal to eat is not a problem if the dog feels well.
  5. Poodle. Consistency in diet is important for poodles. Do not overdo it with treats to avoid refusing the main food.
  6. Cocker Spaniel. If he doesn't eat, try offering him chicken breast with rice. Then gradually mix it with dog food to get him used to a balanced diet.
  7. Boston Terrier: Their pickiness lies in the choice of food. Once you find a suitable option, there should be no problems with nutrition.
  8. Dachshund. Dachshunds are known for their stubbornness. Even their favorite food can be rejected for no reason. The main thing is not to give in and follow the feeding regimen.
  9. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. They either eat everything they see or refuse to eat at all. Setting clear feeding hours and portion control will help to form a habit.
  10. Pekingese. These dogs love treats and can manipulate the owner by skipping the main feeding in the hope of getting something tastier. It is important not to fall for such blackmail.
