For two years, Pipsqueak hid her kibble rather than eat it — behind cushions, under the couch, in corners she thought I couldn't see. Every vet said the same thing. Some dogs are just fussy. She's a dachshund.
She wasn't fussy. She had standards. One vet finally suggested opening a tin of sardines over her bowl, and she cleaned it in under a minute.
Guy and I spent the next two years building five recipes with a Veterinary Nutritionist, using Pipsqueak as the taste tester. She's eaten nothing else for five years, and she's never hidden her food again.
