grilled chicken and cheese she loved it. She has not been eating well lately since I took her off the wet food. I guess I need to find something she likes. What are you guys feeding your puppies??

My puppy wasn't eating well either. I took him to the vet and he suggested mixing some canned food in with the dry food. It worked like a charm. Now he licks his bowl clean and goes back to make sure he got it allChat Icon

My dogs had to have wet food mixed in with thier dry food. But i wanted them off the wet food completly and on healthy organic or holllistic food. They would not eat anything. Now i feed them merricks food with a tiny bit of water added to make a gravy. THey love it and eat it down so fast.

Lilly gets a tablespoon of wet food mixed in thoroughly with her dry food. She wolfs it down so quickly!

If, by chance, I forget to put the wet food in, or if I don't have any in the house, she won't even touch her food.


She's a bit of a snob. Chat Icon

Definitely be careful when feeding human food. Especially cheese. There is something in cheese that releases endorphins in dogs and can make them a little loopy.

My Puppy loves her dry food, never had a problem with her and her eating habits thank god.

Maybe try a different brand of dry food?

Same for us. She was on wet food as a puppy, but when we got her at 7 weeks old, we started to give her less wet and more dry and now she loves her dry food! We tried a few different kinds and we found one she likes.

Re: For the first time I gave my puppy

I feed them Eukanuba hard food and I just started giving O'Malley (my jack russell) some Beneful soft food (I split the can up into 4 days, so a fourth a day and its a big portion) he absolutely loves it!! I might get Jameson (my pitbull) on it as well.

Really I won't give the cheese anymore and be more careful with the human food. But she loved it. I went back to giving her a little wet and more dry. All her teeth are not fulling grown in so I feel bad giving her hard food.
My DH says would like to eat dry cheerios for dinner every nightChat Icon

When they were puppies they liked merrick puppy plate mixed with a little water. We now give them a little wet mixed with their dry because the vet suggested it.
