I totally understand. I have a 4 mo old female. She too is a finiky eater. I give her science diet small for puppies but I put the nutri-cal supplement on the nuggets to help sweeten the food. She needs it anyway until she's 1 yr old, so why not. I give my puppy 2 shot glasses full of food 3 x's a day. She doesn't always eat it all, but if you're worried about her, once in a while give her cooked white rice with boiled chicked chopped up in it. That will help her start eating. Good luck.
