Help! I am a new owner of a 3 month year-old miniature daschund named Chicky (female). I have had her now for 2 weeks, and I'm having a major problem: she won't eat her dog food. I have tried many brands (Royal Canin, Science Diet, Eukanuba) and she hardly nips at any. I know that puppies are supposed to be eating several times a day, but Chicky won't. She likes wet food, but I don't want to get her used to eating it everyday. Does anyone know why she isn't eating properly? Any tips on what to do? Thank you so much. I'm concerned...

:confused:

Less so with puppies, but this is a common problem. Common enough I prepared a sticky on it, https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/information-articles-our-dogs-expert-labman-53153.html#post254171

The most common cause is over feeding, but my sticky starts with the important point of having a vet check.
