When my dog Baxter was refusing food I didn't want to throw it away, so here's what I did.
I would prepare Baxter's food and offer it to him. If he wasn't interested after a few minutes, I'd give it to Wolfie.
Instead of preparing 2 bowls (1 for each), I'd just prepare one. If Baxter did eat alittle, then I'd add to it for Wolfie so that he got his full portion.
One thing I had to take into consideration was not letting Wolfie see Baxter getting offered food first, so I'd offer the food to Baxter where Wolfie couldn't see. I figured it didn't matter if Baxter saw Wolfie offered the food he didn't eat. I came up with this after preparing 2 bowls of food and then having to throw one away twice a day. It was tempting to give Wolfie the extra food, but he's already too fat!
Now, I don't have to worry about it anymore since Baxter is gone.
