In a recent video that has taken the internet by storm, viewers are introduced to a dog named Wunkus, who is hilariously picky about his food. The video, titled "Picky Wunkus," has garnered a lot of attention and sparked a lively discussion among pet owners and enthusiasts.

The video captures Wunkus's owner going to great lengths to prepare a meal that the finicky dog will finally approve of. From adding a splash of sunflower oil to warming the kibble in the microwave, no method seems to be off the table in the quest to satisfy Wunkus's discerning palate. The video humorously underscores the lengths to which some pet owners go to ensure their furry friends are happy.

One user commented, "I wouldn't eat anything you just scooped out of a toilet either," highlighting the extreme measures some pets might make their owners take. Another user humorously remarked, "He thinks the secret ingredient is love," suggesting that Wunkus's pickiness might be more about the attention he's getting than the actual food.

Suggestions poured in from the community, with one person advising, "You could sprinkle on something like sunflower oil which is good for the fur. There's multiple oils that are dog safe with some sort of benefit." Another offered a more elaborate solution: "My brother's dog liked dry food with a little water added, then warmed in the microwave for a few seconds and mushed up into a paste."

Some stories were more personal, like one pet owner who shared, "My dog has inflamed b**** disease (don't worry meds are treating it amazingly well and he's totally happy and feelin' good now). When he was first diagnosed, his appetite was pretty bad. I managed to get around it by fork-feeding him bits of his food a tiny tiny bit at a time until his tastebuds kicked in and he would eat on his own." This exemplifies the connection and dedication between pets and their owners.

Not all attempts at pleasing picky eaters are successful. One commenter lamented, "Tried that with our picky dog... didn't work he's too smart. Had to add EVOO or sunflower oil. Sometimes, we mash bananas. He loves bananas." Another user pointed out the irony in the situation, saying, "The dog knows it’s for show but just enjoys putting his owner through the paces."

The video also sparked discussions on the appropriateness of feeding habits. Some users expressed concerns over food safety, with one saying, "About the part of putting a bowl that was on the floor into the microwave... I hope you cleaned the microwave when you were done. Ick." Others shared their own recipes and tips, such as mixing sweet potatoes and turkey burger or adding a splash of bone broth to kibble.

This video resonates with many pet owners who have experienced the trials and tribulations of feeding a picky eater. Whether it's adding special ingredients, warming up food, or creating gourmet meals, the lengths to which people go for their pets is both meaningful and entertaining.

"Picky Wunkus" is a delightful reminder of the unique personalities and quirks of our pets, and the video captures the essence of the bond between a pet and its owner. From humorous comments to heartfelt stories, the community's engagement highlights the universal experience of trying to please our furry family members.

My dog has inflamed b**** disease (dont worry meds are treating it amazingly well and hes totally happy and feelin' good now), when he was first diagnosed, his appetite was pretty bad. I managed to get around it my fork-feeding him bits of his food a tiny tiny bit at a time until his tastebuds kicked in and he would eat on his own. Now that he's feeling good all the time and has a great appetite - guess what hasn't changed? (insert picture of me with fork feeding dog that thinks it's royalty).

"You can't put metal in the microwave, you fool!" - that dog probably not.

Put my kibble down without preparing it 'fresh'? I'm not some basic b****.
