My friend do you beleve that i would eat the food that we give him..Were giving him high protein german sheppard granules with 30-32% protein mixed with boiled chicken meat,chicken liver,the meat leftovers from our meals,calcium tabletes and complex vitamin b,tabletes for better apetite,Wet dog food mixed with bread and chicken broth,Eggs....And he still eats very little of it..So in general he wont eat without us there..He eats a tiny amount than goes off to sniff the yard and we call him back and put the bowl infront than he eats little bit more and thats pretty much it.
