Besides not eating much, today I noticed something and not sure if it has any signifigance and she has been doing this for a while but never thought much of it. Most of the times I put the food down when she does not eat, she pretends to bury it with her nose. any thoughts???
Yes, usually that's dog language for "I hate this food". But she could just be attempting to hide it. All I know is when they turn their noses up at it, they are saying they do not like it.
Gemyni does that in her crate when she's done and doesnt want anymore. And Legend used to do the same thing. Almost like they are saying "I'll cover it so its fresh for later!" lol
our old dog would take her food and bury it in the ground about half the bowl eat the rest and the next morning the food that she buryed was gone and we know she ate it cause there was dirt all over her nose
You know, my RIP sheepdog used to do that with her food bowl.
I just thought she was crazy & the only dog who did that.
Not everytime, but alot. Put food in her bowl and she'd go over
to it and start pushing the food with her nose :? I'd say
"just eat your food" and it kinda snapped her out of it.
Also,when we were out and someone would try to give her a treat,
she'd push on the treat with her nose but never take it.
Never understood it, maybe she had a nose/food fetish! :lol:
