My minpin is a picky eater help (labs, vet, teeth)

[Firenbrmstn]

I inherited a minpin my son rescued while in college. He needed extensive dental work and I thought he wasn't eating bc of pain. We've taken care of his teeth but he still seems to be picky about his food. I have a lab as well and try to feed them the same food but its proving difficult bc the minpin is so picky. A brief background of him is that he eats out of the labs dish, not his own and he eats a few kibbles at a time which he carries away from the bowl. He will eat table scraps. I want to find a food he will eat. I used to think he didnt eat bc of the pain from his rotten teeth. The vet says he is playing me. But now I notice my lab is getting picky too. They leave their food untouched all day and sometime til the next day. He also does not play with any toys and wont chew on things like rawhide or bones. Anyone have any similar issues or any advice.

Try a new food much different than his current kibble. Maybe sweet potato and salmon, for example.

Or mix up some canned salmon with brown rice and some cooked mixed frozen cooked vegies and see if he'll dig in.

Maybe the current kibble is not sufficently tempting to either dog.
