Hi lilfoot,

I'm not familiar with puppies that young, but I know that when my Charlie was a puppy (maybe around 3 months old) there was about 2 days when he wasn't eating anything. My Vet said to use a little bit of vegetable or chicken stock in with the food, and to just use less water. The stock adds flavor. I remember I added vegetable stock to Charlie's food and he loved it so much he ate the entire bowl of food in no time! Obviously, you stop adding it once the pup starts eating on their own, as the sodium level in the stock is too high for them to have regularly.

Hope this helps.
