Fussy eaters: tips if your dog won't take it
Some dogs are particular about anything new — but there are a few easy tricks to get even the fussiest eaters taking their NutriPaw supplements.
For treats and soft chews
- Crumble them over food. Break the treat into small pieces and mix it through your dog's regular meal — most fussy dogs happily eat it this way.
- Try offering it alongside a favourite food at first.
For powders and food toppers
- Mix it well through wet food, or add a splash of water to dry food so the powder sticks rather than sitting at the bottom of the bowl.
- Start by mixing it thoroughly so there's no separate "new" taste or texture for them to pick out.
Prefer a different format?
Several of our products come in more than one format, so if your dog won't take one version, there's often an easier option:
- All-Itch & Immunity Treats → All-Itch Food Topper
- Pre, Pro & Postbiotic Treats → Pre, Pro & Postbiotic Powder
- Calming Treats → Calming Food Topper
- Dental Formula Water Additive → Dental Powder (or vice versa)
If your dog still won't take their supplement after trying these tips, get in touch — we can look at swapping you to a format that suits them better.
