ok, first of all, you shouldn't cook the food. Since dogs are meant to digest meat raw and cooking kills a lot of the nutrients. Secondly, it's actually healthier to feed a dog raw "people" food, then cheap processed dog food. But you have to make sure he's getting all the nutrients he needs, which means mixing in things like blueberries and pears. I honestly don't know enough about it to give you directions but you can look up B.A.R.F diet on google (Bones And Raw Food). You can try giving your dog different kinds of food. It's best to change every once in a while, but gradually, so as not to upset their tummy. But ultimately it's a case of your dog being stubborn and if you want to feed dog food, you have to be strict. Put him in his crate with his food. No play time, or attention until he eats it. If he doesn't. fine, don't give him human food because he's learned by turning up his nose at his food he gets something better.

my chihuahua would not drink water when she was a puppy. she would drink milk. to get her off milk, we put a little water in her milk. each day, we put more water until she was on full water, no milk. you should do that. try putting a little dogfood in her rice or chicken. each day put more and more, until it is dogfood with a little rice/chicken. it works about 90% of the time, and they barely notice the change! if it doesnt work the first time, try putting less dogfood in her rice/chicken each day. you might want to start woth a little pinch of dogfood, if it is canned. if it is dry dogfood, just put one peice in there, and each day add one more, gradually lessening the rice/chicken.
chihuahuas are awesome!

Uzumaki_Rukia have you tried giving him/her cat food? it sounds odd, but it works! smile Cat food has a higher level of protein than dog food, since cats are much more strictly carnivorous than dogs. Dogs have different nutritional needs than dogs.
Go to Petsmart or somewhere like that. Bring your dog and explain your problem. We asked for advice when my cat started to refuse food, and they found one that tempted her--even though, as we later found out, she had oral cancer! I'm convinced they extended my precious baby's lifetime, may she rest in peace.
I would not suggest giving in to your chi's demands. I have a chi, and they are MANIPULATIVE. Trust me, that is three pounds of smart dog who is intent on getting her way; she knows exactly what she's doing. If you must feed her some people food, use it to supplement a doggie diet, and avoid things like chocolate, onions, and garlic.
Good luck finding your dog a diet that makes her happy and fulfills her nutritional needs! Rice and chicken alone are not going to be healthy for her.

A Story Worth Telling Uzumaki_Rukia have you tried giving him/her cat food? it sounds odd, but it works! smile Cat food has a higher level of protein than dog food, since cats are much more strictly carnivorous than dogs.

Rice and chicken alone are not going to be healthy for her. actually, in that last part, garlic is good for dogs. not too much, though. it keeps away the worms. they have garlic pills at Wal-Mart that you can give to ur dog, and take urself. not only does it keep amay the vampires, it help with preventing certain health issues.but...chocolate, onions, grapes.
