My dog is an extremely picky eater. I agree with everything Carrie says BUT I was too weak to do it and have been for like 8 years now so both the dog and I are set in our ways (she says I am well trained).

One sign I have heard that the dog really doesn't like the food is they will carry it away from their bowl and eat it, rather than eat it over their bowl. I thought Sadie did that because she is sooo submissive (not just in eating habits), if I intruded on her when she was eating she would immediately stop, and would not return to the dish for a day.

The brand Sadie seems to favor (and I've tried many): Nutro.

Also, I give her cottage cheese which she LOVES to my surprise and raw egg yolks. These are her "treats" (she won't eat dog biscuits either). They aren't an every day thing (about 1-2 of each per week) but they are supposedly great for her and she gets sooooo happy. I wish I had time to make her food and try that route, but I barely cook for myself!

Hope your puppy is eating!
