I think it's important to keep them on the food their breeder used for the first month, that way, you can see if any vomiting is because they are sick or because you did a food change. When you do decide to switch foods, you should go very slowly, sudden changes cause vomiting and diarrhea. I kept Joey in a play pen in the living room while I was cooking, too many things can drop on the floor that would make them sick, even a little onion can make them sick. Puppies want to eat everything they find the first year, so you have to be especially careful, aluminum foil, cotton balls, chocolate, sugarless gum, pennies, q-tips, are all things they will try to eat, and they can get very sick from these things, that's why most people don't let the puppy have run of the house the first year. I would go easy on adding human foods, they can make a really fussy eater, and it's hard to make a balanced diet from human foods. Sometimes a little Nutri-cal or karo syrup can stimulate their appetite.
