| Chuy won't eat his kibble??? My baby is 7 weeks old and HATES dry food. He eats his wet pretty well, but I know that dry is better for him all around, especially his little teeth. I have him on Eukanuba small breed puppy food. Anyone have this problem? If so, how did you fix it? Any awesome kibble out there that I don't know about? Please help!!! |

| First of all I think 7 weeks is way to young; SO that might be a reason why he doesnt like the dry kibble. Try mixing the wet food with the kibble or try to wet the kibble with hot water to make it softer to chew. I hope this helps. Good luck with your new pup. |

| Could be, but when I get him from my breeder, he'd been eating dry foot from a seperate dish, and I was told that he needed the dry food more. I've never had a Yorkie before, but both of my Chi's were eating dry at 6 weeks old with no problems. I guess I'll keep him on the mixture of wet and ground dry for a couple more weeks and try again. Thanks for the response!

| When I got Mini she was 6 months old and the breeder was feeding her Science Diet, small bites, with just a smear of Pedigree Puppy Food out of a can on top. After a few weeks, the breeder told me to just try the dry. So, each morning I'd put a little bit less of the wet on top and then she did fine when it was totally dry. |
