The breeder suggested when I got Parker to have some cottage cheese, plain yogurt, baby food chicken and gravy, or even better like suggested already a little bit of chicken and rice (homemade). When they are that young a lot of people have a problem getting there puppy's to eat. I hope this helps!! I too have nutralcal and honey in the house when and if Parker starts playing too hard and hasn't eattin' just in case!
