I have a 14-week old puppy who refuses to eat any hard kibble, even though that is supposedly what she was eating before I got her (at 11 weeks old). She will only eat The Honest Kitchen (Embark formula) and Newman's Own wet dog food, and she waits for me to mix cottage cheese and chicken or hamburg (cooked) in before she eats. Congrats on your new puppy and good luck!

One word of advice, make sure she is eating 4-5 (or 6!) times a day. I don't know what size she is, but Meg is 1.75 lbs now and eats probably 1-3 tablespoon fulls of wet food 5 times/day. That's just a guess on my part since I haven't been very good about measuring out her food.

Just make sure that she is eating. Meg ended up being hypoglycemic and hospitalized for two nights with an IV glucose drip just a day after I brought her home because she wouldn't eat the kibble I put out for her. (Stupid me should have just started feeding her chicken/rice, etc, but I was afraid to upset her tummy.)
