No, not all picky eating dogs are spoiled. In fact, picky eating can sometimes be caused by a medical condition or dietary intolerance. The best way to tell if your dog is spoiled is to observe their behaviors.


Here are 3 signs your dog might be spoiled:

  1. Your dog expects you to cater to their every whim.

  2. They get jealous of attention you give to other family members or pets.

  3. They are picky and demanding about food choices.


Here are 5 signs your picky eating dog may have a serious condition

  1. Refusal to eat for more than 24 hours - If your picky eating dog suddenly stops eating for an extended period of time, it could be a sign of a more serious underlying condition.

  2. Weight loss - If your dog has lost a significant amount of weight over a short period of time, it could be a sign of an underlying medical condition.

  3. Loss of appetite - If your picky eating dog has suddenly become uninterested in food, it could be a sign of a medical issue.

  4. Vomiting or diarrhea - If your dog is vomiting or having diarrhea on a regular basis, it could be a sign of an underlying medical condition.

  5. Changes in behavior - If your picky eating dog is displaying any changes in behavior, such as lethargy, reduced energy, or depression, it could be a sign of a medical issue.
