Need advice from knowledgable dog owners out there.
Our two Boston's were at DH's parents for a week while we were away. Since we got them back the male dog has not been eating. He's the nervous one of the two. The female, no issues. She's a pig. Problem is that his mother was free-feeding them kibble and lots of table scraps, from leftover roast and beef tips from the casino where she works to ravioli. So miss piggy gained weight of course and nervous Nellie stopped eating the food we had left for the dogs. On top of this, one of her own dogs is in heat and the nervous Boston was the only male dog there (thankfully he's fixed).
As far as I'm concerned, of we give it enough time and keep feeding the dogs at regular times, the male will eventually start eating again. Am I right or is there a better way to get him back on track? We feed them both the expensive prepared sausage rolls from Pet Smart twice a day and he seemed to like it fine before we left on vacation.
