Context: the dog hates eating and is extremely thin; the dog was getting matted, so I shaved him; the dog is currently extremely temperature-sensitive and as needy as ever, and apparently likes being swaddled now

Hates eating? How is this possible? What are you feeding puppy boy?

Apparently super common with poodles. Both dogs eat (fairly pricey) Blue Basics now because almost everything else I've tried gives him diarrhea — including, it pains me to say, homecooked food

Have you cooked the boy some white rice and diced chicken thighs? Bagged dog food is kind of shit, even the pricey stuff. I feed it to my dog as more of a snack for lunch and then he would eat my food for dinner (what dogs have done for 12,000yrs)

Aw, is he border collie/staffy/boxer?

His father was a Spaniel Mastiff mix and his mom was a -- Puggle. Haha. So he was super muscular with a hulk neck and man-sized paws, but short little baby legs
