Re: [pyrnet] Getting a Pyr to Eat

["Susan Irving" <sirving@rogers.com>]

Pyrs are just like that.  Even when you do embellish their kibble with
little treats, they won't always eat it. I just put the food out, and
they'll eat it eventually. They are smart enough to know when they are
hungry and when they aren't. Both of mine have always been like that. We
were at the vet for annual shots last week and he says they are in
incredibly good shape. Most of my friends with other breeds of dogs are
always having to put them on diets, but you will rarely see an overweight
pyr; and that's better for their hips and heart.
Definitely DON'T force feed!!

I don't want to get her use to the idea that she can have "special treats"
on her food (like bacon) to get her to eat.  Any ideas, short of force
feeding, which I refuse to do?
