Science Diet is not the best. But, find a good quality puppy food, entice her with Parmsean cheese, cheese or a bit of boiled, skinless chicken breast.

10 weeks she shouldn't even be going outside until she's had her full compliment of vaccinations. I see you live in Chicago, winter is coming on and I'd piddle pad train her. Put her in an x-pen, don't give her full access to the house if you can't watch her.

Don't over do the Nutri Cal it can cause diabitis and can actuallly do what you are trying to prevent, bring on a hyperglycemic attack, Make sure she's eating 4 meals at the minimum and you aren't over handling her and make sure she's getting plenty of rest.
Well she's actually only 9 weeks, the breeder said I must have misunderstood her when she said 10 weeks (maybe she said 10 weeks next ___). I don't give her cat food or human food - I know it's not good for her. I just wish she would like her own! Any recommendations a quality food? When you say entice her, you mean put the cheese etc on top of the food or? She's definitely not eating 4 meals a day. She usually eats a few pieces of food and then stops. Could be that she's full from all the nutri cal. I'll use less and see how she does and if she eats more.

As for outside, it's in my own fenced in back yard - should I still not let her out?
