My dog will not drink from his bowl unless he sees me dump out yesterday’s water in the morning and fill it up with fridge water. My mom keeps a bowl for the dogs at her house, and the other day she filled it with tap water. One dog drank it, Snobface McGee did not. When my mom dumped it and refilled it with fridge water he drank it. He’s my buddy though so I will always make sure he has fresh fridge water.

    This reminds me of our dog, whose tastes have evolved significantly as the kids have gotten older and the food they drop has presumably improved. Cheerios, once a delicacy to be inhaled, now sit on the floor unbothered until we sweep them up ourselves.

    Idk what it is, but your comment has gotta be one of the most well crafted and funny comments I've ever seen. I swear it reads like poetry.

    Paging @Stimmed@reddthat.com of !dog_doesnt_eat@reddthat.com. They definitely have some interesting "picky dog" stories.

    My dog is the pickiest eater I know. The problem I have is that it is never consistent. One day nothing is good enough, another he ignores steak for kibble, the next is a cat food day, then all of a sudden it is time for steak!

    He has the forbidden knowledge that you can crave certain food at the moment, but he has no way to tell be what exactly he wants haha.

    Might it be possible to teach him to associate a picture or toy with certain foods (or food categories), and "request" foods by bringing you that toy? Something kind of like this but in reverse. I once had a neighbour whose cat (yes, cat!) would purportedly "request" his dinner from a lineup of sealed canned food.

    If they can smell and taste better than us, I'm sure water is closer to soda for them with many different flavors. My dog gets breta filled water, but prefers mountain spring water > rain puddle > breta filtered > tap.
