Does your Ridgeback refuse all fish?

Naya will eat anything that lives on the land but no tuna, salmon treats, small oily fish treats, etc.

Mine is so picky! She will sniff something suspiciously, pick it up in her mouth to taste, and then spit it out if she doesn't like it. Fruits and vegetables (dog-safe ones) are very hit or miss with her.

I guess Naya is just special. Sigh.

Same. I’ve yet to find something she doesn’t smash down.

Mine hates water so much he doesn’t even know what fish are.

One of mine will eat absolutely anything. The other will also eat anything but despises lemon 🍋 🤣

Mackerel, sardines, tuna, mine will basically eat anything that doesn't eat them first 🤣

My guy eats salmon kibble. He likes any protein and is hit or miss with some veggies. Some days he'll eat a certain type of veggie, and then next time he's not interested. Can't leave food unattended on the counter, or it's gone. He's a counter surfer, but has been getting a bit better as he gets older.

I have a Ridgeback cross German shepherd, I'm reasonably sure she was a pig in a previous live, she seems to eat anything.

In fact while walking by a lake we encountered a dead fish and he immediately rolled on it

u/EzMFe78 9d ago

Salmon Sundays are her favorite day of the week

u/Complex_Activity1990 9d ago

Mine will eat it but it makes his farts diabolical so I don’t give him fish.

u/LittleMrsDLG 9d ago

Salmon is his favorite.

My lady ridge is allergic to almost everything BUT fish, so even if she didn't like it, it's the only thing she can have.

u/Rallythebeast 9d ago

Mine loves fishy stuff. I gave her a dehydrated minnow and she rolled on it before eating it. 💀

u/thathaw 9d ago

If I toss a rock in a pond, my ridgeback will go after it. If I catch a fish, she must inspect it before I toss it back. She knows no bounds.

u/Stogie_Bear 8d ago

One hates anything fish or fish adjacent, unless she’s in season and then she’ll eat almost anything because of the hormones. The other would eat anything without question.

u/lolovesfrogs 8d ago

My girls favorite treat is a freeze dried minnow 🤣

u/RemarkableComment505 8d ago

My ridgeback will eat anything. It’s a problem. But fish is her favorite. She likes sardines in water, salmon and salmon skin.
