Hi Everyone:

I am just wondering what everyone is feeding their little ones. Wallee is almost 6 months old and trying to get him to eat on some kind of a schedule has been a nightmare. I had him on the Royal Canin small breed puppy when I got him and found he wasn't interested most of the time unless I scrambled the food accross the floor. I have tried many high end holistic canned food added into it.
I switched him recently tot he Royal Canin yorkie puppy which he seemed to eat better the first time. Now we are back to the same thing. I can sometimes get him to eat it if I add the Nova holistic puppy food to it, but basically, he seems to just not want to eat on any kind of a schedule. I do not want him to be a grazer as I work shifts and need to get his feeding/bathroom regular so I can make sure to arrange to have someone come in to walk him if I am at work.

I am so frustrated. Never had a dog who ate like this before. Any suggestions welcome.
