I have two Boston Terriers who are very picky. I have tried many kinds of dog food?

yet they refuse to eat any of them, wanting only table food. Will they eventually eat the dog food if it is all they are offered, or will they let themselves starve?
Answers:
By switching food, and when you "cave" and give them table food, you're teaching them that all they have to do is wait, and they will get what they want.

Here's what you do.
Pick one brand of kibble. Make sure it's high quality and doesn't contain corn or wheat.
Pick 2 meal times (morning and night) and set a strict schedule. Put the food out for 15 minutes, then pick it up. They get NOTHING until the next meal. Don't "cave". They will learn really quickly to eat the food that's out during meal time.

They won't starve themselves.
Promise.
My friend raises bostons %26 she's very strict about their diets. In the morning she gives them raw carrots mixed with fish %26 potato kibble. In the evening, it's just the kibble with a little water in it to moisten it. She said the fish %26 potato is good for their skin %26 digestion. She does not offer them anything during the day except for 1 dog biscuit when they go into their kennels. That's it. She said they learn to eat or they go hungry until the next meal %26 very few have ever skipped more than 1 meal. You just gotta be firm %26 it'll work.
I have a bosten terrier to who is very picky, try giving them peddigree dog food, and every time they eat give them a treat. i know it sounds weird but it worked for my dog. hope this helps.
try nutro max it is all natural and is very good for them. that is what my dog is on and he loves it. we like the lamb and rice. but there is alot a different kinds

ALL *YOUR* FAULT!!!

Grow some GUTS %26 ONLY give em DOG FOOD!

ONCE daily -put feed down,give em 15 MINUTES to eat %26 then PICK IT UP!

*********NOTHING********** else offered but water for ********24 HOURS*****
REPEAT for as long as it takes...a week? FINE! TWO weeks?? FINE!!!
