Anybody got advice for what to feed an old, sick dog who won't eat his normal kibble/soft food?
Thanks y'all! Some info I should have included originally:
- this is my 12.5 yo newfie Kodos
- he has refused normal food, fried eggs, leftover chicken & rice and most recently (pill-laden) peanut butter on a dinner roll.
- he will eat meatballs and soft chicken treats.
He has indeed seen the vet & is on pain meds (meloxicam, tramadol & gabapentin). This is end-of-life care here I think.

That is always the difficult time, when they start refusing to eat. Let him eat meatballs as long as he’ll eat those.
Really soft is usually more palatable to really old dogs, so also try scrambled eggs (softer than fried). Mashed potatoes with a bit of butter.
