| Logan NOT interested in food, at ALL Hi Guys, In addition to the wee wee pad problem, Logan is in no way interested in eating.... it has me soooo worried. He came to me from the breeder with Innova puppy kibble and a can of the mighty dog wet food. I just cant get me to be interested in eating. A few days last week he took a MINOR interest in the kibble - it looked like it was hard for him to chew each little piece and he would work on 1 for a minute or two and then move on. Ive tried mixing the wet food in with the kibble, he just sits next to the food and looks at me. If I leave him alone, he returns to his crate or just plays- anything but eat. Ive tried adding water to the kibble to soften it, nada. At this point, should I try different food? Im so worried about him, he does like Nutrical so Ive been using that a LOT... but its not a replacement for food... |

| Have you tried soaking the kibble in a little water to soften it up? You might also try a teaspoon of cottage cheese on top or plain yogurt. Sometimes I had to coax Gizmo to eat a bite or two by hand first. Then, when he realized he was hungry, he would eat more on his own. (The first week or so we had him.) Good luck.

| Hi there Well there's a few things... It could be that he doesnt like the food ?!? When we first got Meka, she was on Eukanueba small bites, then switched to Iams and she would do the same thing. Didnt matter how much water...she still was very hesitant to eat it. But for some reason, if I held the kibble in my hand..then she would eat a few. None the less, because of this great site...I found that neither of the food brands were good for her and switched to a healthier Chicken Soup for the Puppy Lovers Soul and it works. She loves it She usually has cheerios for breakfast, then I give her kibble for dinner and she might have a snack/treat during the day. So, all in all.... I think you might wanna check out the dogfoodanalysis to get some ideas of better brands....
