I have 2 rat terrier dogs.  A 12 week puppy girl named Twister and a year old boy named Buster.  And within the last few months I have been alternating dog food and cooked food for them so that I can get them off of commerical food.  I stared cooking for them because they wern't eating the commercial foods and I thought maybe they would eat the cooked foods.  Well I have noticed they haven't been eating the cooked foods either.  They play outside a lot and they are getting really skinny.  I have taken them to the vet she and doesn't see anything wrong with them.  They are the first rat terrier dogs we have had and I thought maybe they are a little more picky about there food.  I don't know what to do.  Can some one help?

Thanks

Welcome!!  Could you tell us  a little more? Do they eat at least a little?  It is hard to get the content of homemade foods right too, so possibly they could be losing weight even though they are eating what should be enough.  Do you have recipies so you are sure to have a complete diet?   Rat terriers are generally "skinny" dogs. It's not necessarily a bad thing if you see a few ribs. Jack only eats from 1/2cup to 1cup of dry Canidae a day.  If you are providing a good quality dry dog food then they will eat when they need to.  They won' t starve themselves, although they may skip a meal or two. The vet says they look good medically right?  No reasons why they would both be not eating?  I would stick with a high quality dry food (there are good threads on these) and just keep an eye on them.  If you are really worried I would consult your vet.

I have been giving them both peigree hard and soft foods.  And I also make there treats and they eat those really well.  But they have been buring them so I don't know how many they really eat.
