| diet Try baby food meats..the vet has a Science canned like baby food also. Be careful trying too many different things..it can upset the bowels. Give Nutra-Cal..and I would stop the bread..it may fill his stomach, but with little food value. Best of Luck |

| try a bit of little cesars puppy mixed in to the puppy dry food the finicky eaters tend to gravitate to this. Mix only about a teaspoon coating their dry food. |

| The meat sticks and the Lil caesars are both good ideas. I have given both to my dogs.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Cali wouldn't eat when I first got her at 9 weeks except my poms caesars. It seems that most finicky eaters will eat this.

| My little pup liked cottage cheese and Baby Gerber Chicken Stix.... Actually - the only thing he doesn't like is dog food. Carol Jean |

| I was going to say to blend in the blender also. Maybe you just have a lazy little baby there and it doesn't want to take the time to actually CHEW. Blend the right nutritional mix and get it used to that flavor. Then the pup will need to start eating bigger pieces. Give the Nutrical in the meantime to make sure it is getting enough calories and such. I would not give any more bread. Good luck and keep us posted. |
