A prompt is the message you send to the AI tool. Copy the one on this page, put your own details where it asks, and read the answer before you act on it.

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote one from what it describes. The result shown is the source's, not ours.

What the prompt labels mean

The person didn't share their exact words, so we wrote this from what they described. We haven't tested it, and they didn't use this exact version.

My dog is a picky eater. I've tried several fresh foods and a shelf-stable wet food, and the dog refused them or got gassy, and I've been leaving dry food out all day. What should I feed my dog, and how should I change the feeding routine?

Our rewrite with extra checks. The poster didn't test it.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about the details below and wait for my answers. Once I've answered, confirm the plan in one line and run the whole task start to finish.

Goal: Find a simple, steady feeding plan for a picky dog, based on what has and hasn't worked so far.

Questions to ask me first:
- How old is your dog, what size, and are there any health issues?
- What foods have you tried, and what happened with each?
- Has your vet said anything about diet?

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Dog's age, size and weight: [DETAILS]
- Foods tried and results: [LIST]
- Current routine: [FOR EXAMPLE FREE-FEEDING]
- Health notes from the vet: [NOTES]
- Budget and where I buy food: [DETAILS]

Rules:
- Suggest one main food and explain why it fits, with the nutrition details to check on the label.
- Give a slow transition plan from the current food.
- Include a feeding schedule instead of free-feeding.
- Tell me which signs mean I should call the vet.

Checkpoint: Give me the plan for the first week and wait before planning further.

If you get stuck: If a symptom sounds medical, such as ongoing vomiting or weight loss, tell me to see the vet first.

Verify before you finish: Check the suggested food is a complete diet for my dog's life stage.

Output: One recommended food, a transition schedule, a daily feeding routine and warning signs.

Done when: My dog eats steadily on one food and a set routine.

Outcome

The PetMomma blogger had tried fresh dog foods including Farmer's Dog, Ollie and Sundays for Stanley, then a shelf-stable wet food Stanley refused within days of a full case arriving, then a grocery-store fresh food that left Stanley very gassy, all while leaving dry food out all day. Frustrated, the blogger laid the whole situation out for ChatGPT. Its advice was to stop trying so hard, drop the rotating fresh foods and switch to one high-quality dry food, and it recommended Farmina N&D Ancestral Grain Chicken & Pomegranate. The blogger checked the nutrition and ordered it from Chewy, because Amazon didn't carry it. Stanley gobbled the first pieces, and the next morning ate all of a small mix of the old and new food. The new plan: no more free-feeding, two meals a day and a slow switch to just the new food.

Evidence: Described by posterThe person describes what happened in words, without screenshots or video.

Known limitations

PartialThe source says it only partly worked, or had a significant problem a person had to deal with.

What went wrong: The dog ate the new food at first, but the post came only a day in, so it's too early to call it solved.

Context: The exact prompt isn't quoted, so the prompt here is recreated. The post was written a day after the new food arrived, and its title ends with I hope, so the long-term result isn't known. Check diet changes with a vet if your dog has health issues.
