hold off on the treats.. she will eat her food when she gets hungry. dont fill her up on unhealthy treats..
2 :
maybe she knows that if she doesn't eat the food she'll get to eat the treats.... same as children! why eat the healthy stuff if i can eat the sweets!

Stop feeding her crap and maybe she will eat her meal, if not take it away and bring it back out later on, she will give in first.

pets don't like canned food, also, it is very unhealthy for them. i'd ask your vet to see what she can eat. i also think that you can buy dried food, soak it in water, and it sort of has to cover the dry food,and after a long while, not really long,though, you mix it with a spoon. it has to get creamy, not really, but creamy, and then feed to your dog, if it can't have dry food. and don't feed her treats, until she eats her food. hope this helps!

Purina is not a good food. If you want her to eat her dinner, quit giving her peanut butter chewable bones.. You fill her up with garbage, she'll never eat her dinner.. Feed her a good quality dry food. Poor puppy doesn't have a chance to develop good teeth being fed canned food.

yorkie poo puppy eh pfff lol, uh basically stop feeding her treats. She probably has learnt that sh will receive more treats when she refuses to eat her healthy food. Don't spoil her so much...

My yorkie will hold off eating his food until he *knows* he wont be getting a treat for doing something. But I'm a bit of a dog treat snob. My yorkies treats are just as healthy as his food. But I would recommend changing your pup's food to something (ANYTHING) else. Purina is complete crap and the canned food will mess her teeth up. Dry food us much better for her teeth. My yorkie is fed Wellness Super 5 mix. It's FAR healthier than purina. You are what you eat... and so if your yorkie mix. There have been studies that suggest that we are cutting the lifespans of our pets in half by the poor foods we feed them. I know you are a concerned pet owner, so do your research and make sure your pup is getting the very best food and treats. http://www.wellnesspetfood.com/dog_wellness_dry_index.html http://dogfoodanalysis.com/ http://www.dogfoodproject.com/index.php?page=main
