| Hi, Maddies, I am a 64 yrs old dog lover, but not a Professional in that area. I've raised dogs all my life so far, and they become part of the family! One reason puppies (and dogs) refuse to eat is because they are full of energy, not ready to eat. Do you take your puppy out for a brisk 45 min. Walk every day? Or let her play in the back yard, running with her, to run off all that energy? She is more likely to eat when she has had some good exercise. Any good dry puppy food should do the trick. Put it down in the morning, give her maybe 30 minutes to decide if she wants it. If not, pick it back up, and put it down again in the evening. The bag will tell how how much to feed. I wouldn't keep buying new foods. She will eat anything, if she gets hungry from exercising! As a new puppy owner, I highly recommend a video by Ceaser Millan, a Professional Dog Behaviorist. He rehabilitates dogs, and trains people. He has his own TV program, the Dog Whisperer, on the NGEO (National Geographic) channel, on Friday nights mainly, but also comes on some other days. This video is available from: http://www.dogpsychologycenter.com/ I also ordered his new book, "Ceaser's Way", from Walmart online, around $15 US, and it's very good! There are other good videos available on the web, but this one is really worth your attention. If you get NGEO and get a chance, watch one of Ceaser's programs....you will be Hooked, big time! He explains all about eating after exercising. Best wishes. | ||||
